Connecting head and heart, purpose and process to drive performance
For almost 20 years I have been working with teams and organizations in different industries in different countries, supporting them as consultant, coach or leader to make ambitions become reality.
Originally educated as a chemical engineer and in my early career certified as Lean Six Sigma Blackbelt, I quickly noticed using ‘the head’ to make change in ‘the process’ was not enough. I wanted to use ‘the heart’ to touch and move ‘the people’. So I added interactive coaching, change management, leadership, NLP and systemic coaching to my portfolio.
This way, my expertise has become to drive change holistically, balancing a technical ‘process-and-structure’ approach with a purposeful ‘mindset-and-behaviour’ approach.
Align ambition, process and people and focus energy to improve performance
It is my strong belief and experience a system only moves sustainably when all elements are aligned: ambition, processes and people. Connect these elements, create focus and energy and you will be surprised by the results!
In my way of working, I address all these elements, building on what is available and unleashing the available potential. Creating a shared ambition, translating it into objectives, organizing and optimizing processes/management systems, stimulating collaboration and learning while solving problems we encounter on the way.
Each team, each organisation and each situation is unique. I use principles and techniques from Lean Six Sigma, Continuous Improvement, Change Management and Learning organisations to fit your needs.
Highly experienced in Continuous Improvement (certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt), Operational Excellence, Strategy Deployment, Transformation and Change Management, Coaching and Team-development, Program- and Project Management.
Key industries: food, chemicals and logistics, but also experience in automotive and utilities.
Fluent in Dutch, English and Spanish. Conversational in German.
