“Katrien's coaching was invaluable during two major team restructurings - across Google Assistant and Bard. She taught me to lead with empathy, and shared effective strategies on how to maintain a resilient and focused team in uncertain times. Her guidance was both supportive and practical. I wholeheartedly recommend Katrien for her clear, compassionate leadership training.”
Brett Barros, Google
“Katrien has helped me understand what kind of leader I want to be, what is needed to get there, and how I can best deal with tough stakeholders.
I also understand better how I want to react and how I want to be when team members are underperforming. She not only coached well but also provided practical advice on how to cope with certain situations if I explicitly asked for it. Thanks, it has been very helpful.”
Isaac Borghouts, Accenture
“I had started a new role at the beginning of the journey, so the coaching has supported my progress in the new position, helping me navigate a new set of challenges, mostly interpersonal.
I have become more aware of the perception of my actions and have been able to approach my current challenge in a more adaptive way, applying a different approach dependent on the person I am working with.”
Rachael Newbold, JLL
“Katrien has been brilliant in helping me expand my ways of thinking by continuously challenging me and asking (really) difficult questions. I tend to look for the easy way out and Katrien certainly didn't let me get away with this. My coach really challenged my way of thinking and helped me to identify things that I may be doing that are not very constructive to achieving the outcomes I want. Working with Katrien has been so impactful for me. I’m seeing improvement in all the areas I had set out to work on.”
Diane White, Unilever
“Katrien has been instrumental in my development and growth. We have identified together which areas require further strengthening for me to step up. Using live examples she coaches me and challenges my way of managing difficult situations. From her own broad experience, she is able to understand the dynamics at senior leadership level and to give practical advice. As a result, I feel more confident when taking up my new job.”
