“After I completed my law degree, I was employed by Unilever as a management trainee in the marketing division.

When my husband was transferred by another Dutch company to Brazil, I did my utmost to also get myself transferred to Brazil.

In the subsequent years I worked for multinationals and smaller companies in Hong Kong and Thailand. These were formative experiences giving me a broad and commercial background. The most important thing that I learnt during those times is that no matter how a project is conceived, it is the actions and the attitudes of the people that is decisive for the success of the process or project.
After the birth of my three daughters, I was well and truly challenged by the eternal dilemma of motherhood vs a career.
The fact that I was diagnosed with breast cancer further complicated the combination of family, health, career and ambition.
I have come to realise that there are many similarities in the challenges faced by talented women on the path to personal fulfillment), but at the same time they also face very personal hurdles. This has lead me to the conclusion that personal coaching is the most effective way to support and guide them.
My background in business, my training as coach and mediator and my personal experiences have enabled me to give women the insight and focus that they need so that they are empowered to follow the path that they have chosen.
