Personal leadership and healthy performance
Focused and guided attention to your personal-professional development has a positive effect on your focus, mental well-being and helps you effectively change behavioral patterns. How do you develop an assertive mindset and how do you act proactively? How do you find out about your qualities and how do you use them? How do you develop more self-confidence in making choices?
Together with a coach who suits you and takes the time for you, we develop a personalized program that responds to themes such as personal leadership, communication and professional effectiveness.

The qualities of our coaches
In a confidential and professionally supervised environment, you have the space to break free from the rat race. Time to reflect and work on changes in awareness, attitude and behavior. Through our diverse pool of coaches and careful matching process, we find a coach that fits the employee.
Our coaches:
- Have received relevant coaching training and have extensive experience working in professional and educational settings.
- Depart not from unnecessary psychologizing, but from a fresh and realistic optimism without losing depth.
- Invest in building a good coach-coachee relationship. This is crucial to the effectiveness of the coaching process.
How we work
Personalized coaching program
Start: need and relationship
Together with you, the coachee, we identify personal learning goals, questions and development points. During the process you are given the space to steer yourself.
Works
Using various forms of work such as socratic dialogue, dynamic judgment and "risky experiments," we shape the course.
Structural meeting
A program takes an average of six to nine months to complete. One to two one-hour sessions take place each month: online and in person.
End: personal development as an ongoing process
We strive for personal development that is lasting, and we work with you to find the balance between deep reflection and concrete changes in attitude and behavior.

Experiences of coachees
Yuri
(Junior) Environmental manager & service designer
My coach understands very well what startups go through and what is needed. I found it difficult to be productive, through a combination of insights and exercises I started working much smarter and faster.
Leyla
Financial management consultant
The sessions helped me gain insight into my behavioral patterns and their consequences in the workplace. I learned how to communicate more clearly with my colleagues. As a result, I work more efficiently and experience less pressure.
Liselot
Project management & assistant project manager
I feel stronger as a person. At first I was fighting deadlines and stress, now I experience pride in my own actions and achievements. I think every starter has some form of insecurity and this has made me more confident in a professional sense.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does coaching cost?
Coaching costs between 500,- euro and 3000,- euro excluding VAT, depending on the route we choose.
Where does the coaching take place?
A coaching program can be online, physical (within the Randstad area) or blended. In terms of location, we can also consider a match in terms of coach.
How many coaching sessions do I need?
This depends on your coaching questions. In the first conversation - the intake conversation - together with your coach you will draw up a number of coaching questions to give the program a clear direction. At the end of this conversation you and your coach agree on what you think is an adequate number of coaching sessions.
What is Bildung?
Bildung is actively, consciously, and ethically relating to your inner self, others, and the world. It represents the ideal that people develop themselves as broadly and fully as possible and take on social responsibility.
We have been inspired by the ideas of classic bildungsdenkers such as Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767 - 1835) and Theodor Adorno (1903-1969), but also by contemporary thinkers such as Gert Biesta, Martha Nussbaum and Roman Krznaric.

Can my employer pay for this?
There are often opportunities to have this paid for by your employer. We can help you with that, feel free to get in touch and have a casual sparring session with us.
Which coach will I get?
We base the match between you and your coach on your development questions and background. Possibly, depending on the specific trajectory, you can also get a second coach to jump in at certain moments.

A collective of people and organizations with the will to be socially responsible in connection with themselves and others.
