Do leaders need coaching?

Since the personal challenges of leaders impact the organizational effectiveness, I believe that good leaders have a specific responsibility. Working on your leadership skills makes the growth of others in the organization possible and can lift the organization to a higher level of performance.

My coaching helps people to develop their leadership skills in a cross cultural work environment. 

In cross cultural coaching sensitivity and knowledge of your own roots and the roots of your company are essential for your effectiveness. During the coaching you will learn more about the Dutch culture in general and the business culture in the Netherlands. You will be encouraged to reflect on your own values, mental framework and culture and relate these to your work environment. The focus is on personal growth by taking responsibility for your leadership and behaviour. Taking this responsibility is a courageous step and the key for success.
