This is Martin: Top-Level, Results oriented, Straight to the core of the issue, Open minded
Target group: Leaders, Managers, Entrepeneurs, Business Owners, Young Professionals.
People with limited knowledge of the Dutch language or who prefer to express themselves in English.
Coaching specialties: Leadership Development, Management coaching, Career coaching, Stress & Burn out Coaching. Dealing with the diffcult Dutch. Leadership Development, Vitality, Dealing with stress and workload and dealing with setbacks and loss.
International experiences: I have coached multiple international workers during their stay in Holland.
Languages: Dutch and English.
Dutch co-workers can be very different from colleagues back home. The Dutch can be direct (verging on being blunt), autonomous, proud, too open and stubborn to the foreign eye. Dealing with them requires a certain panache and directness, combined with the ability to connect on a more intimate level than you might be used to. I can coach and support you in finding your voice toward the difficult Dutch and being successful in Holland.
How can you, as a leader or professional working in Holland, be more effective? How can you be more powerful and successful in dealing with the complex situations, resistance and setbacks, that everybody will have to face in life?
I have a lot of experience on these issues:
Together we will see what your brain tells you about hindrances and objections, and how to deal with those more effectively. We will investigate together what is really of value for you in your work and life. And we will find out how you can really and visibly change your behavior.
I am good in making a connection with you. I can be quite clear and will support and confront you with open mind and open heart. You cannot change your feelings and thoughts, so you could better accept those as being a part of you. I will show you what acceptance actually means and how to really practice this in your life.
We will discuss various ways in which you can deal with hindering thoughts and feelings. When you stop fighting with what your brain tells you, you will experience more space and energy. This you can use to do what is really important: becoming who you want to be, living and working according to your values. And on really changing your behavior. We will talk about concrete situations in your life and look into how you can really act differently.
Everything I talk about with you I also practice myself. Because for me also life is full of challenges, difficulties and setbacks.
A coaching conversation will take one and a half hour. Usually a full coaching process will consist of six to eight appointments. Sometimes more appointments will be needed, for instance with burn out
“Martin is supporting me as an executive coach for many years now. I also hire him as coach, for leaders and professionals in the organizations I lead. Like no other he knows how to ask very crisp and clear questions that make me think and give me insight. Martin is an authentic person. I experience his style as very pleasant: direct, personal and sometimes confronting, but always in connection and sincere. He is very able to pinpoint the real issues and keeps on where others lay off. He helps me to find out what I can do better. I can really recommend Martin to everybody looking for an experienced executive coach or advisor on leadership and government.”
“Martin is a master in stimulating and coaching professionals and leaders that focus on growth and development. He fits very well with high performance driven people that want to learn from feedback. This is not always easy, because converting feedback and insight to behavior is usually hindered by all kinds of obstacles. Martin knows how to address these and enables you to take the next step. With warmth and compassion and confronting when necessary. When you expect a high performance of yourself, I can really recommend Martin.”
“Martin is a powerful coach. Involved but professional he will walk beside you. Respectful and with humor he will look together with you to the core of your issue. He does not beat around the bush but gives very pointed and practical coaching and advice. Coaching with Martin leads to wonderful dialogues and insights, in which he makes his life and work experience productive.”
“Martin is able to listen without judging. He is there when you need him. Enthousiastic, but realistic. He really helped me. I can recommend him. Great guy!”
