Her involvement in and curiosity about the subject of this research received an additional boost from the international top career of one of the women in her family. Today, she assists, coaches and trains board members, managers and professionals of (international) companies and organizations in the field of leadership and organizational development, in order to optimize their vitality, diversity and sustainability. Her focus and expertise are on getting people and organizations moving, allowing them to get the best out of themselves and their environment.

Her mix of ‘achiever/challenger’ is at the basis of her passion, energy, decisiveness, resilience and perseverance. Her affinity for essence, the ability to always create safety and confidence and bind people are derived from her hidden ‘survivor’ and ‘merger’ structures. ‘In the development of my (female) leadership, I have learned to use my softer side, while holding back on my energy and decisiveness. And I discovered ‘the art of doing nothing’ in creating movement. In my work as an executive coach, manager, and a promoter of a new place for leadership, I combine my affinity for essence and decisiveness with humour and the ability to bind people. In this way, I get people and organizations moving.’
