Session 1: goals and challenges
Together we determine your goals and challenges. That is the starting point of the programme. We discuss areas for improvement and turn them into concrete actions.

Leadership coaching
As a manager you want to lead more strongly, but you get stuck on your own challenges, your communication or the dynamics in your team. In leadership coaching you work in a typical programme of three personal sessions on your strengths, your areas for improvement and concrete goals. Tailor-made, in Dutch or English.
Do you recognise this?
After a difficult team conversation you walk back to your desk and replay it. You wanted to say something else, but the tension was already too high to stay sharp.
No one around you sees how often you take this home. As a manager you rarely have someone with whom you can discuss this freely, so you carry it alone.
As a manager you can run into questions like:
- Where are my strengths and my areas for improvement as a leader?
- How do I tackle a challenge I have been struggling with for a while?
- How do I improve my communication and my handling of conflicts?
- How do I better motivate and manage my team members?
Those are not weaknesses, but good questions to work out together with a coach.
Why do you keep running into the same thing?
Leading leaves little room to reflect on yourself. You solve what is in front of you, and what holds you back time and again remains undiscussed. Then the same challenges return, in a different form.
That costs energy and sometimes also confidence in your own approach. Without a sounding board or an open outside perspective it is difficult to see what you are doing well and what you can adjust. The communication and motivation in your team feel that too.
It does not have to stay that way. Anyone who looks specifically at themselves and their approach can grow as a leader.
How do you get a sharper view of yourself as a leader?
Developing leadership is a skill, and you learn it best with someone who watches along. A coach gives you a safe place to talk freely about goals, pitfalls and obstacles.
Our coaches know the loneliness of the leadership position. In a typical programme of three personal sessions we determine your goals together, we work on situations that you experience as challenging and at the end we look at what you can pick up yourself.
The programme is tailored to you and your team, and leads to the things you can do below after the coaching.
What you can do after the coaching
After the programme you can:
- name your strengths and weaknesses as a leader;
- work out specific goals and turn them into concrete actions;
- strengthen your self-knowledge and self-reflection;
- improve your communication and conflict resolution skills;
- better motivate, manage and develop team members;
- deal better with decision making, also in team meetings.
This is how we tackle it
A typical coaching programme consists of three sessions. In each session we provide a safe environment, so you can talk freely about your personal and professional goals, ambitions, pitfalls and obstacles.
Session 2: progress and concrete situations
We evaluate the progress and get to work with situations that you experience as challenging or hindering. Your coach gives feedback and we turn areas for improvement into concrete actions.
Session 3: final evaluation
We make a final evaluation of your progress and look at which areas for improvement you can pick up yourself, or where you can still call in the coach for further guidance.
The programme is always tailored to the people involved. The input and feedback of the people you work with can also be important.
Coaching formulas
Depending on your expectations, situation and goals we use an adapted formula:
- In the context of a training programme: the trainer of the programme acts as a coach to help translate the principles and techniques from the training into practice. We usually coach all participants in the training programme.
- Individual coaching programme: we get to work with your specific context and goals.
- Coaching-as-a-Service (CAAS): the coaching is offered in a team as an option. Managers and team members can call in the coach, so everyone gets the same opportunities for personal development and solving specific challenges.
Specific formulas can also be worked out. Feel free to discuss your needs and expectations with us. Depending on the context the sessions take place at our office, at the workplace or online.
We work in an experience-oriented way: as a coachee you constantly get to work with the theory in practical exercises with which you learn to apply your skills in real situations.
