Fresh Thoughts programs
Programs to make you shine and grow more
Personal empowerment
Take control of your own journey
You want more control over your life. You want to better understand what you need to be happier or to achieve other goals. How do you organize the things that matter to you? And where do you start?
The Personal Empowerment program helps you discover what truly drives you and what you really want. This is your chance to learn what makes you unique and how you can use your strengths to achieve your goals.
You’ll find that taking control is not only liberating but also surprisingly fun. You decide!
Personal leadership
What are your goals and how do you achieve them?
Where do you want to work? Where do you want to live? How long do you want to stay in your current job, and what’s next? What makes your life meaningful? What should you do, and where do you begin?
The Personal Leadership program builds on the Personal Empowerment program. As Stephen Covey says, “Begin with the end in mind, and start at the beginning.” Together, we will create a plan for you—using a pencil so that you can adjust it when needed. But one thing is certain: you can only get what you want when you know what you want!
Expat Coaching
How can I feel more at home in this country?
As an expat, you may often wonder: how can I feel at home in this new country? With my extensive experience in coaching expats and my understanding of different cultures, I am familiar with this challenge. Someone from China has different values than someone from France, but the core question remains the same: how do I find my place? Whether you are a Dutch person living abroad or living here in the Netherlands, it’s about respecting your own values while embracing those of your new country. In our conversations, I help you find this balance and provide practical tools to help you feel at home, wherever you are.
For expats, I also offer a unique 5-month group program. For details, visit www.thehappyexpats.nl or check the Happy Expats tab on this site.
Career Coaching
Get the most out of your work
Proactively managing your career makes sense—those who ask, get. Knowing what you’re good at and what you enjoy, as well as understanding what needs to be done in the workplace, is crucial. Building a career is not just about making money. Perhaps, at this stage in your career, you value learning and development more, or you find satisfaction in what you achieve with your colleagues. In the career coaching program, you gain insight into your motivations and explore next steps, both short-term and long-term. How do you set boundaries and maintain an optimal work-life balance? What score would you give your work?
This program combines Personal Empowerment and Personal Leadership. Whether you want to grow with your current employer or explore other opportunities, I also offer LinkedIn and job application advice to help you achieve your goals.
