Change & Communication Coach

Superbly Human

(Professional Training & Coaching industry)

2009 — Present (less than a year)

As a change & communication coach I work with clients to achieve effective, self-empowering and positive change through powerful and respectful communication.

Words as powerful as actions
What you say affects your actions in a very powerful way. If you know how to use words that work, your actions (or those of your company or organisation) will become even more effective and results will be more satisfying.

What kind of communication has that power?
Basically I use the brief coaching methods combined with other skills and insights.

My communication skills are rooted in

* solution focused training
* non-violent communication
* an interest in behavioural sciences
* a professional background in advertising
* linguistics
* journalism
* literature

My services include:

Personal communication coaching, team coaching, creativity coaching&facilitation, change communication consulting.

Allow yourself to do amazing things. It's the greatest gift you can give to yourself (and the world).

Experience it yourself.

Get in touch.

Big Bazart

(Privately Held; Public Relations and Communications industry)

November 2007 — September 2009 (1 year 11 months)

Big Bazart is een communicatiebureau dat werkt rond maatschappelijke thema’s, cultuur, en duurzame projecten.

Wij doen zaken met een ziel en met oog voor het geheel. Daarom is duurzaamheid onze leidraad in onze eigen bedrijfsvoering, in onze relaties met klanten, en in onze communicatiecampagnes.

Duurzaam campagne voeren, dat betekent voor ons:

... dat we de waarheid als uitgangspunt nemen. In het web 2.0 tijdperk, waarin iedereen de macht heeft om via het net grote en kleine leugens aan de kaak te stellen, kan immers alleen de waarheid duren.

...dat we beroep doen op emoties. Alleen als ze mensen emotioneel raakt, zal een campagne echt effect hebben. Met informatie en ratio kom je niet zo ver, zeker niet als je gedragsverandering beoogt.

...dat we inzetten op creativiteit. Creativiteit kan een klein budget verveelvoudigen. Creativiteit blaast het stof van ambtelijke taal en academisch jargon en tovert concepten, begrippen en abstracties terug om in werkelijkheid.
