Testimonials
This is what my clients say.
Executive Coaching
Multinational Semiconductor Business
I appreciated the combination of the Hogan assessment, systemic and the cognitive coaching. As well as Nelke’s structured, high level knowledge of coaching methods and her warm people-oriented style. Using systemic coaching was a breakthrough, as well as the combination of moments of meditation, next to really deep reflection when I was struggling. Nelke knows what she does, and I felt I could trust the process instead of aiming for the result. She is a genuine (international) executive individual- and team coach. She plays with head and heart reflections in a structured way. She is smart and a fast thinker, so you do not loose time in explaining politics and organizational structures. She creates an environment of Integrity, Trust, Professionality, Humour, and Structure. It is the first time that I finish a coaching’s process.
Financial Sector
I increased my self-awareness and my confidence; this was also noted by my manager and my peers. The ‘inside-out’ approach was very impactful in this.
Global biopharmaceutical company
The coaching increased my awareness of the impact that I have on others. We took the time to reflect on my behaviour and I learned to accept and manage myself. This was a very good and high-level executive coaching.

She understands the nuances of personal development and growth on a deeper level, allowing her to provide customized guidance that truly resonates with your needs and goals.

Coaching Supervision
I really value supervision, and I especially value the journey I have engaged in with Nelke. What I appreciate is her kind but firm manner in challenging my thoughts. She has a way to make me reflect by asking questions and not letting go until I find my answer. Our conversations cover not only my development questions but more existential issues as well, especially around envisioning the future of my professional activity and focus. She makes me feel safe and gently pushes me to open up and to express what I wouldn’t otherwise. Thank you!
EMCC EIA Senior Practitioner
Working with Nelke was a great investment. Getting out of your comfort zone is what I typically recommend my clients but being aware of my own patterns and blind spots is a very different matter. Nelke builds confidence to do this, sometimes by asking open-ended questions that help me see the big(ger) picture or system, sometimes by being more confrontational and encouraging me to take one more step. I’m grateful for the impact on my role as a change management consultant: taking more risks to follow my conviction and enjoying the learning curve that comes with it.
Cross Cultural Lens
With the coaching of Nelke, I developed cultural awareness. I better understand my cultural Self now. This helped me to understand my international peers better. Leading to new initiatives from my side, to building better and more effective relationships and to better business results.
Global Engineering Company
The most important learning that I took away from the coaching journey was increased self-confidence, Systems Thinking, and that Culture and Leadership styles, can be different because of organization and culture of origin. This combination helped me to better understand the challenges I was facing, working in a French organisation, being Dutch.
Supplier Retail Office Equipment
Dealing with my Saudi superiors was a great challenge for me. Nelke helped me create insight into my behavior, both on emotional, rational and cultural level. I learned more about the system and the culture I am operating in and how they affect each other. Since our coaching I have referred several internationally operating leaders to her.

Leadership Coaching and Coaching Supervision in the International Context
Are you a coach, or OD consultant, looking for a supervisor with a lot of experience in the organisational context? Get in touch to discuss what I can do for you.
I felt welcome and intellectually challenged on a part I would normally not explore; Nelke created a great atmosphere starting with reflecting on my life story; I am more reflecting on my behaviour now; taking process and relation into account. I am more vulnerable in my communication; I open up to others and contribute more. I am proud of the positive responses from peers in the leadership team I am in. My own team also observes that I have made a change in behaviour. The effect is a more open dialogue. Enabling us to address differences in the management team in a more cooperative way. My growth and transformation was enabled by the structured analyses of situations described by me, and the questions Nelke asked. This helped me to learn to see situations with a different perspective. Combined with very brought knowledge of relevant theory. This triggered my analytical and reflection muscle. The Hogan provided a wealth of insight. I do notice that I make different choices now as I weight things differently in my evaluation of situations. For me that indicates that she helped me transform some of my fundaments, which has a lasting impact. The result is more subtle than what I have been doing in the past, where I compensated some intrinsic behaviour by cognitive tools. Nelke’s style is open, analytical, connecting and stimulating change. She integrates all pieces of information to explore together topics for change. Nelke radiates enthusiasm for the coaching profession.
