Business People Working With Laptop And Talking Of personal development

Your Challenges

  • Feeling overwhelmed or a lack of confidence, and difficulty in navigating the Dutch work culture
  • Missed opportunities for promotion, project responsibity, or involvement in key decision-making
  • Misunderstandings, confusion, or even conflicts with colleagues or managers
  • Difficulty in managing time effectively, affecting overall performance
  • Or do you just feel like taking your career to the next level?

What to Expect

Intake & Goal Setting
Our journey begins with an intake session where we identify and define your personal and professional goals. This is a collaborative process where we’ll ensure clarity on where you want to go and how I can support you in getting there.

Accountability and Responsibility
Throughout the coaching process, you’ll take responsibility for your growth. Having an accountability partner can further enhance your commitment

Tailored Tools for Personal Growth
Depending on your specific objectives, I use a variety of tools and techniques to help you develop both personally and professionally. These may include:

  • ReBT (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy) to help you challenge limiting beliefs and develop more constructive thought patterns and changing your habits.
  • Focusing to help you pay attention to bodily sensations to access and understand underlying emotions and thoughts, helping to bring clarity and resolution to inner conflicts.
  • Books & Resources that provide further insight and tools for growth.
  • NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) for reprogramming thought patterns and improving communication.
  • Mindfulness to enhance emotional regulation and presence.
  • Polyvagal Theory for managing stress and building resilience.
  • Systemic Work to understand the broader context of your challenges and relationships.
  • Visualisation exercises to keep you motivated and clear about your direction

We’ll work together to implement new bahaviours, ensuring that your growth is practical and measurable.

Homework to Apply Learning
To ensure that the lessons learned in our sessions are fully integrated, I assign practical homework that encourages you to apply new techniques in real-world situations. This helps you see tangible progress and boosts your confidence.

Ongoing Evaluation
Throughout the coaching process, we’ll have regular check-ins to evaluate your progress and adjust the approach where necessary. These evaluations ensure you stay on track and continue moving towards your goals with clarity and confidence.

Results

Let me help you overcome the challenges of working in the Netherlands and take your career to the next level.

  • Build confidence and better understand Dutch work culture, so you feel more confident and can perform more effectively
  • Leverage your strengths and increase your visibility, so you can seize more opportunities for promotion and increased responsibilities
  • Develop your communication skills and/or emotional intelligence, so you can better handle misunderstandigs and conflicts in the workplace
  • Master time management, become more productive and meet deadlines without stress
  • By managing work pressure more effectively, the negative impact on your partner and children will be minimised
  • Work on building both a professional and social network, so you stand strong both in the workplace and beyond

Social Impact

By choosing coaching at Orange Expats, you not only advance your own journey but also contribute to the recovery and development of young people with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), who I personally assist in their personal and professional growth.

Procedure

Intake
Interested in my approach? Get in touch for an introductory call, where we’ll see if we’re a good fit. You’ll receive an intake form to complete before our 15-minute free online meeting.

The Coaching Trajectory
If you decide to begin your coaching journey, we can meet in-person, virtually, or hybrid—whatever works best for you. Sessions are weekly or biweekly, lasting 60 minutes each. After every session, you’ll get personalised homework assignments to support your progress.
I’ll keep you accountable, which can be really helpful.

Number of Sessions
People often wonder how many sessions it will take to reach their goal, and that’s perfectly understandable. The answer, however, depends on various factors, including the nature of your goal, the obstacles you’re facing, the time and effort you dedicate to the process, and external circumstances beyond your control. On average, in my experience, most people complete their journey in around 6 to 10 sessions. I offer a friendly package deal, as shown at the pricing page.

Online Portal
During your coaching journey, you’ll have exclusive access to the Orange Expats online portal and learning environment. This portal offers everything from homework assignments and invoices to valuable models and theories.
