Coaching programmes for executives

Structured coaching that matches the shape of your ambition and goals

You bring a unique personality, motivation, and idea of what success looks like.

That is why the work is structured, personal, and focused on what you aim to achieve.

As an executive, you will often be pressed for time and prefer tight, focused online sessions via videoconference. I know the drill and will shape our online sessions to allow the free flow of energy and ideas.

If you want to go even deeper and more personal, in-person coaching offers another level where human resonance can liberate your thinking in settings that help you detach from the push and pull of corporate life and step out of your normal routine.

We do this by coaching in dedicated environments: in the park, in a quiet space, or out on the water.

Programme #1: "Laser Focus"

Get to the heart of the matter

You want solutions for a pressing issue.

This is structured coaching via video conference, focused on one concrete topic that requires clarity and movement.

Together, we:

  • define the core issue

  • assess realistic options

  • decide on the next effective steps

Whether it is a conflict, a decision, or a sudden challenge — we work directly toward a solution.

3 virtual coaching sessions, bi-weekly or monthly.

60 minutes each, via Zoom.

Build long-term growth

You want to boost your long-term ambition through regular reflection and ideation.

By taking time out at regular intervals to pause, reflect, ideate, decide, and execute, you are laying the foundation for consistent growth.

We explore in depth what goals add up to your full ambition, and create a structured plan to build towards that ambition, step by step. You decide on the balance that you need between coaching – where I provide the safe space for you to reflect – and mentoring – where I offer insights from my own experience.

By detaching from immediate and pressing issues, you will be able to steer towards a steady and continuous growth state.

And over time, you will be able to discern patterns, limiting beliefs, and hidden opportunities, opening up whole new dimensions of possibilities.

12 virtual coaching sessions, monthly.

60 minutes each, via Zoom.

Programme #3: "A walk in the Park"

Regain orientation

You have your remit under control – but external dynamics are threatening your balance. Accelerating market and technology trends. Internal reorgs and initiatives. AI and demographic shift.

In this programme, we clarify what is really going on, where the feeling of disorientation comes from, and what you can do right away to regain stability and become supple to move ahead of the flow.

You will:

  • understand your situation
  • reassess your expectations
  • identify realistic options
  • take immediate steps toward your goals

We work outdoors. Literally.

In six sessions over six months, we walk through six of Amsterdam’s most beautiful parks (weather allowing). The movement, the setting, and the structure of our conversations help you reflect, decide, and move forward.

6 coaching sessions in 6 months.

90 minutes each, in 6 parks of Amsterdam.

Solve your key issue

You are established as an executive. Life works. But one goal still continues to elude you. You have tried everything, and your intelligence and creativity have served you so well with other goals.

Time to dig deeper and challenge your assumptions and beliefs.

In this high-intensity programme, we identify the one pattern, belief, or behaviour that stands in your way — and work deliberately to change it.

You will:

  • uncover the underlying conviction that keeps you stuck
  • redefine what the goal means for you
  • implement one decisive behavioural shift

Six structured sessions of focused, in-depth coaching, in quick succession, to create meaningful change — going beyond surface adjustments to personal transformation.

6 coaching sessions in 6 weeks.

90 minutes each, in a safe reflective space.

Programme #5: "Boundless horizons"

Define your direction

You feel at home in what you do. Now you want clarity about what comes next.

In this programme, we step back from daily demands and develop a concrete vision for your future — professionally and personally.

You will:

  • clarify what you truly want, and what tacit desires sit behind this wish
  • position yourself toward the fundamental questions of your life
  • define a bold new direction
  • identify the first decisive step

We work with structured reflection methods and deliberate thinking tools to turn ideas into a realistic plan.

And we take distance seriously:

We spend an evening on a boat on the Markermeer — away from routine, with space to think clearly and decide consciously.

1 coaching session in 1 summer evening.

Up to 3 hours, out on the Markermeer.
