About me
It took some time to become the 2.0 version of myself: from a tendency to be directive and rescuing to seeing clients as resourceful, creative and whole, being at ease with not knowing and trusting the co-created coaching relationship in the here and now.
Through transformational coaching and as a relational coach, I place great importance on our relationship being one of trust and openness to allow for a process of self-discovery, ignite your thinking, connect with true feelings, identify patterns, see what might be blocking you and commit to action to reach your set goal(s).
After we have explored and determined your goal(s) for coaching, you can expect me to always bring empathy and an open mind and focus entirely on your agenda, your challenges and your priorities.
Partnering with clients as a coach is an incredible journey of growth and learning, both for myself and those I've had the privilege to support, working with my clients around career progression, the role of work in a broader life plan, how to manage stress, confidence building and imposter syndrome. I have accompanied clients on exploring their relationship with themselves and the wider world and at times I have been a thinking partner to bounce off ideas.
I find I have a deep affinity with some of the questions which arise for women, be it in large global corporations or smaller businesses. I put great value in helping clients understand and connect with their values, needs and strengths and as a Certified Emotions Coaching practitioner, I feel confident to support my clients at a deeper level.
Finally, when relevant I bring the DISC Behavioral Assessment into our work as a tool for understanding behaviour, enhancing teamwork, and optimizing individual performance in various contexts.
Even though my roots are in the corporate world, my coaching extends beyond. Throughout my career, I had the pleasure to work with clients with different nationalities and cultural backgrounds. I am fluent in English, Dutch and French and whether we connect virtually or face-to-face from my base in Belgium, our coaching sessions will be tailored to your needs.
I adhere to high ethical standards and coaching competencies, ensuring their practice is both effective and responsible and like my coaching clients, I am committed to my own growth through Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and deepening my knowledge which add value to my coaching practice.
