How we work together

One perspective, three ways to work with it.

With your organisation, with you as a leader, or with the bigger conversation. Whatever it becomes, it always starts from the same way of looking.

01
YOUR ORGANISATION

Transforming from the inside out

A strategy only works when your organisation actually delivers it.

With First Floor I work with a team of experienced experts for organisations in growth or change.

Design. Develop. Deliver.

We analyse and design what is needed. We develop the structures, the people, the leadership and the capacity to deliver what you promise your clients. And we stay until it is not only thought through, but implemented and embedded.

YOU AS A LEADER

Your blueprint

The higher you climb, the fewer people know your full reality. And the bigger the impact of what you do, and of what you no longer see. I know it, I'm not just a coach. I sit in your seat. I know how it feels and what it takes. Every day.

That is why I create places where leaders can look at their organisation and at themselves without a role or a mask.

Executive coaching

One-on-one sparring where business reality, leadership and your own patterns meet. Sharp, respectful and without pretty talk.

Not from coaching theory alone. I combine my daily reality as an entrepreneur and business leader with my background as an accredited psychotherapist and years of experience from my own practice.

CEO Circles & round tables

Small groups where leaders share knowledge, experience and doubt with people who recognise their reality.

Deep dives & body work

Beyond understanding and analysing. Because what you already know rationally does not automatically change what you do.

INSPIRATION

The bigger conversation. Ideas in motion.

Change often starts with a conversation. With something you hear, read or see that slowly settles in your head. I write, listen and speak to set ideas in motion. In others, and in myself.

Through my books, podcast, keynotes and columns I give language to patterns we often feel but do not yet see clearly.

The book, columns and podcast episodes are in Dutch.

Not sure which way of working you need?

The first step is always an honest conversation. Just looking at what is going on and whether I'm the right person to think it through with.
