Coaching en training op persoonlijke ontwikkeling, presence en presenteren.
We all have experienced that feeling of being unhappy after a conversation: that we haven’t communicated the way we wanted to, we didn’t know quite what to say, we were too direct or too awkward, or found urselves just repeating old formulas and getting nowhere.
In the heat of the moment tension or old patterns often take over, because most of us have never learned to be fully present when things get uncomfortable.
It’s only afterwards that we realize how we could have acted better, and got the result we wanted.
“What I should have said is…!”
My trainings will give you tools that enable you to always communicate from your personal ‘Window of Presence’, so that in the heat of the moment you can maintain a relaxed state-of-awareness and respond adequately.
How I work?
Using a case-study, we take a closer look at your communication patterns. Either in a one-on-one session, or in a small workshop group. A bit like in a laboratory, we look at what happens to you when you interact with others.
First we explore what you want to achieve and ways to prepare for it.
Then, in a safe environment, we go through the situation several times, and closely observe your inner dynamics while you experiment with different communication styles, and experience different outcomes.
We’ll discover the style that best suits you, and allows you to fully express yourself, to share your truth, and so achieve what you want.
The result
You’ll know how to use a set of tools that will enable you to stay in contact with yourself and your goals. You’ll know how to stay aware of those signals in your body that want to drag you out of the situation. You’ll have expanded your bounderies, and enlarged your window of presence. You’ll have had the experience of doing things differently, and posess the tools to do it.
You’ll feel more confident and empowered.

We all encounter behaviour that triggers us. Such as the colleague whose voice is far too loud, who makes us want either to react bossily, or the opposite, to just withdraw.
Learn how to respond when your buttons are pushed.
Sometimes we need to have conversations that we don't look forward to, such as discussing collaboration, giving feedback, or speaking up to power.
New tools will help you to stay in touch with your clear vision and goals, while still being able to truly listen to the other.
How do you create impact in telling your story?
Can you bring across a clear message and still be able to interact?
You will learn a 5-step process for speaking from your heart, while staying connected to your and your audience.
Sometimes you only have a few minutes to leave a stunning impression, so your message need to be crystal clear.
How can you build a solid pitch? Where do you start?
You will learn how to build your pitch according to a clear format, which you can adjust to fit the circumstances.
