What participants say
Because of her empathy and professionalism, Steff is excellent at designing a course of action that meets the specific needs of my company. Throughout our collaboration, Steff’s attitude was constructively critical. She wants to achieve the maximum for her clients, but does not hesitate to give critical feedback in the process. This benefited our collaboration and the result. Kudos!
Having studied with Steff she was able to build skills quickly and apply techniques with congruency and elegance.
Steff was the guardian of the ‘Safe Environment’, focusing on the learning process without comments or judgements when learners shared personal or work related stories in their practical exercises. I can surely recommend Steff as a Coach/Trainer !
Sharing a course training with Steff was an incredibly positive experience and an opportunity for me to appreciate her stability, curiosity, sense of humour and artistic gifts. Her respectful, calm and confident attitude, her openness to people were one of the most valuable contributions to the ‘field’, and a source of enrichment and learning on both personal and professional levels.
Steff is a great trainer. Her ability to be entirely present, open-minded and solution-focused, together with her effective communication skills ensure pleasant training days full of eye-openers and ‘can do’ challenges.
Steff, thanks for the learning sessions! It has opened a lot of windows, doors and windows for me. An incredibly rich experience, Thx!
A life-changing course! Highly recommended for everyone! Steff, you are a very engaging person. I can’t imagine a better teacher.
I have been impressed by Steff’s abilities in terms of organisation and leadership. Steff is very professional, proactive and creative. She is someone who knows what she wants and gives herself the means to achieve it.
Not only applicable at work, but also in daily communication with customers and people in your immediate surroundings. Highly recommended!
Steff's integrity, curiosity, and sharp mind were an inspiration to us all. She possesses a broad range of experiences and skills, and is willing to deal with both technical matters and the intricacies of the human mind and human behavior. Steff is fun to work with and cares deeply about the people around her. I consider myself lucky to have shared an intense learning period with her.
Steff exhibits a very thorough knowledge of systems thinking with the necessary depth and personal support. Working in confidence with respect for the participants’ individuality, she creates a safe feeling to learn to discover yourself. Fascinating, surprising, a mentor in heart and soul.
Thanks Karl, a new world has opened up for me that I will definitely delve further into the world of Visual Practitioners’ skills!
Steff is an excellent facilitator and coach. In doing so, she skilfully uses the Disney Imagineering method. She masters it perfectly, so that the creative process within the team and the build-up from dream to realisation of proposals runs very smoothly. In my opinion, the ‘Disney Imagineering’ and Appreciate Inquiry methods are very similar and the way Steff uses them, the strengths and ambitions within the group can come out even sharper.
Thank you very much for helping in creating such nice atmosphere and dynamics among us. The team is really great, although we are still quite “young” in terms of being together. It was really nice and enriching exercise to learn about ourselves and others. I want to acknowledge that the main factor of this very positive impression and feedback is you with your very well prepared and professional performance. From this first session I sense that that you have a really deep knowledge and you perfectly mix psychological content with easy story telling. – well done!
It was a real pleasure to work with Steff during our training. She has tremendous insight and creativity that she brings to her work coupled with positive energy and compassion in dealing with others. Her instincts for what is required in any situation are solid reflecting a strong intuitive sense. Steff is a good leader who helps bring the best out in people toward shared goals and positive accomplishments.
Steff is always ready to explore ideas and to sponsor the process. I know her as a person who walks her talk.
Steff, thank you for giving what you have! I wish you a long time to draw energy from what you achieve here with NLP, because, it makes so many people richer, and that makes all the difference.
Steff allows you to access your inner resources. To be able to help people find within themselves whatever they need to become what/who they want to become, is an amazing skill. I can only imagine what she can do for a team.
The program was an wonderful experience, that really contributed to personal growth and gave strong additional tools to further enhance my coaching activities. Steff’s ability to motivate people to stretch and explore is amazing. She walks the talk and knows how to inspire and challenge people. I can highly recommend her and her organization when you need a business trainer or consultant.
I attended a coaching exercise with Steff and the result was excellent. Steff takes the time to coach you and guide your process. The experience was worthwhile!
When I met Steff for the first time, there was immediately a ‘click’ between us, because we shared the same values on how organisations should change and develop. She has a a good vision and strategy, but is nevertheless action and result oriented. She is also a fantastic trainer and can install the coaching skills by others very easily.
Interactivity among participants. The trainer, Karl Mortier, was very engaging.
Thanks to Karl Mortier, we immediately did a lot of exercises together and worked them out via breakout sessions. This way, we could put the theory into practice right away.
Steff is an excellent trainer and has an eye for her clients’ professional as well as personal development. She enables you to transcend yourself at various levels and provides you with the necessary resources to (continue to) grow.
Steff is the woman to help you to the next level. Her insightful thinking, persuasive coaching and visionary capacity set her apart. Working with Steff is one of the pleasures in life.
Steff always managed to create a safe environment with respect for everyone’s personality, allowing you to go through your own journey of discovery in complete confidence. Her knowledge of systems thinking and experience as a business coach always provided the extra insights that put you one step ahead as a consultant.
Every project we delivered was a success thanks to Karl’s great outsourcing management skills, excellent just-in-time resourcing, motivation, flexibility and dedication. And we don’t forget to have fun and share the success as a team which makes our collaboration a long-term win-win partnership. I am happy to recommend Karl for high quality visual services and value-added coaching projects.
It is always a pleasure to be in the company of Karl. He has immersed himself in the world of visual thinking and presentation to provide unique services to his clients. His storyboard design and mind mapping demonstrate a real skill of bringing concepts alive and making them memorable for clients.
I recently followed a fascinating two-day course on facilitation techniques with Steff. She handles it very cleverly by nicely blending practice and theory. Informal, with humour, but also with the necessary depth and coherence of vision. The exercises - practice what you preach - were eye-opening.
Steff’s insight, skill and wisdom impressed upon me her dedication to excellence. I recommend her with the highest level of confidence.
'Karl Mortier guided us into the world of storytelling in a short but powerful workshop. With clear stepping stones and the necessary tips on body language, we have the right tools in hand to transform examples from our world into an engaging story that captivates the audience. It is a very pleasant collaboration. Both before and after the meeting, he reached out with the proper attention and care to meet all expectations. We look forward to more!'
Dear Steff, you have taught me to know myself better, to accept myself and to discover tools to work on my self-development, thus being ready to be able to give a lot of added value to my environment and to enjoy this to the full! Cheers!
Steff’s natural approach of guidance during her sessions, gives you definitely the feeling to be at ease and you’ll always leave her office with a very good feeling. Thanks Steff!
During the 1-on-1 coaching with Steff, she made me jump into the unprecedented that I did not yet know I could do... 😉 Merci for everything!
Dear Steff, I want to thank you for the training. I have grown as a person as I wanted to grow. Thanks to all the exercises that were given to me by you.
I had the pleasure of receiving training from Steff. Everything that came out of the training has adjusted my life path. Incredibly nice to be able to add a whole new toolbox to my old toolbox!
I had the pleasure of working with Steff for over 7 years as her project and later marketing manager. They were fascinating years, during which I got to know Steff as a unique, inspiring leader and a very human, honourable colleague. Steff, without you I would not be where I am today. You trusted me and gave me the opportunity to grow. I am grateful to you for that. Here’s to many more years of successful cooperation!
Steff, I don’t really know what to say. Consciously & subconsciously you have taught me so much!!! This is not a goodbye but the beginning of... See you soon.
I have had the great pleasure to work with Steff on various projects. Her understanding of systemics, her bright intelligence and empathy is truly inspiring. Steff is the partner you want alongside any business project you endeavor. She will always bring you to the next level.
Working with Steff was always a great learning experience. She is an excellent coach and communicator.
Steff understands the art of landing new insights and skills with you so that new worlds open up. I followed both the ‘NLP Practitioner’ and ‘Visual Practitioner’ with her and can only confirm that it had a very big impact. She is a very passionate and talented speaker, trainer, coach and facilitator. Every session you attend with her is a ‘treasure chest’ of new, actionable insights! Highly recommended and possibly a ‘life changer’!
Steff is an inspiring professional and incredibly strong coach! Because of these qualities, I changed the way I do business now.
Steff is serious, joyful and always of good advice. Working with her was always funny and interesting. Whenever I had question, she could answer them with clear and precise explanations. She knows what she wants to do and how to get there. I warmly recommend her as trainer or associate.
Steff’s coaching sessions have changed the way in which I manage my career resulting in a great performance and increased personal energy.
Steff is a very good team coach and is concerned with the well-being of each individual team member. She is dedicated and achieves goals by positively influencing others. As a personal coach Steff is a good listener and shares valuable insights in people behaviour and interaction.
Steff easily created a balanced and comfortable environment to discover my own potential and my possibilities. She is experienced in guiding people to explore their own capabilities and coaches them to move forward to the outcome they desire.
Visualisation, an eye-opener I discovered thanks to Karl. He teaches with great passion and enthusiasm how training sessions, presentations, coaching and so much more can reach a higher level thanks to visualisation. An accessible tool, with great impact.
