Curious about what's really going on.

My background is in communication and change management. For years I worked — first in employment, then with my own agency, and later as an independent strategic consultant — with a wide range of organisations on questions around direction, positioning and transition.

Over time I specialised in sustainability, with studies at the Open University in Amsterdam, Cambridge University, and a master's degree in Nijmegen. Throughout that development, one thing became increasingly clear to me: real change doesn't start with structures or strategy — it starts with people.

That human dimension had always captured my interest. I sense and perceive a great deal, and I learned to work with that more and more skillfully. During my travels in Asia, I encountered ancient wisdom traditions that showed me how true development takes place on levels that aren't always easy to define.

My own process and curiosity led me to the post-graduate Zijnscoaching (essence coaching) programme at De Academie in Den Haag (The Hague). Alongside that, I deepened my knowledge of body-oriented therapy and breathwork, with certification in BRTT & TRB, and I remain actively engaged in further development in the field of personal growth.

In my work as a consultant, I often filled a coaching role — as an interim manager guiding my team, or as an advisor to senior leaders. That combination of overview, insight and deeply human work forms the foundation of my approach today.

People like Eckhart Tolle, Jack Kornfield and Gabor Maté are a great source of inspiration for me.

I love being in nature — both within myself and around me. It gives me exactly what I need to stand firmly grounded in life and to embrace everything that comes my way: as an entrepreneur, partner, friend, son, brother, colleague and coach.
