MARTINE

YOU CAN APPROACH ME WITH COACHING QUESTIONS REGARDING:

Challenges related to working or living as an international in The Netherlands and other non-expat related issues:

• Identity & meaning: in all the international moves, you might lose track of who you are and what you want to do / be.
• Professional development & career: creating a vision and career path or working on concrete challenges or skills: leadership, (intercultural) communication, conflict-, time- and stress management.
• Stress, work-life balance, burnout: do you get enough, too little or too much out of yourself? Create a realistic self-image, learn to take care of yourself and develop extra skills and knowledge to become an enriched version of you.
• Bereavement and loss: a dear one, health or your old life. We explore where you got stuck and how to move forward.
• Relationship: moving abroad often influences the dynamics with your partner. We work on re-establishing a balanced relationship.
• Intercultural challenges: understanding or building meaningful relationships with the Dutch and other nationalities.

MY APPROACH

My way of working is a dance of challenge and compassion, with shared responsibility for a good outcome and clearly defined roles and responsibilities. Compassion: learn to respect your boundaries and use your feelings as guides. And facing challenges, removing barriers and getting the best out of you, with respect for your values and circumstances. In a fun and inspiring way.

Whatever it is you’re working on, my extensive experience as expat coach and having lived in so many different countries helps to find the best approach for you, taking into account your international background.

We invest to get crystal clear what you are looking for and why: visualize where you want to go, what is holding you back now. We translate this (renewed) self-knowledge and motivation into a clear road map for action. Unlearn and learn, apply what you have learned and develop any skills or knowledge you need.

Practical and inspiring homework stimulates you to work with the insights from the coaching sessions. The reflection assignments and inspiring material deepen your self-knowledge and motivation.

You return to yourself as a richer person. With a different basic attitude of conscious living and growing, so that you do not fall back but keep on course in your new direction: more resilient, more authentic and happier with yourself and your environment.
