Aashna Pancham

Innovation manager, ABN Amro Bank

Marijne as a coach is thoughtful, straightforward and pleasant. The results from her coaching were being more effective in my role and reflecting on situations by taking a step back. I’ve learned to let go of irrational thoughts, embrace that it’s okay to be insecure and the importance of a good work-life balance. I would recommend Marijne, because she challenges you to work on your goals but at the same time provides insightful guidance to reach them.

Robbert Haesen

Finance Manager, XXImo Mobility & Amaze Mobility

I experienced the seven coach session in the past 9 months as a real game changer in my life. My life (work and private) changed enormously. A personal journey where Marijne suggested several initiatives (books, small movies, other sessions) besides the coach sessions, I did them all, which resulted in a much more conscious, connecting, and happier Rogier. ( And I was already pretty happy when I started;) I now have more intense connections with my family, friends and colleagues and myself. My manager was impressed by the “New Rogier” he called the sessions positive drugs and gave me a promotion. From the start I felt the sessions as a real treat. Looking back I am really grateful with this experience! Dikke dank je wel Marijne!!

Rogier Bogaerts

Senior Equipment Specialist, ABN AMRO Asset Based Finance

Executive Coaching from Marijne for my next career step. The results from the coaching were a broad scale of techniques, when it comes to managing teams. This improved my way of delegating and motivating team members, and even others. Marijne is thorough and quick in understanding. She’s also capable of offering several matching techniques to overcome certain obstacles. I feel comfortable recommending Marijne to others in a similar leadership position, as I am very satisfied with the way she coached me.

Bulent Aydin

EMEA Manager Customer Service, TE Connectivity

I got to know Marijne at a time when it was really needed. What she did was really great. Marijne listens very well, her knowledge and way of working: she knows exactly what to do to get you back on track. With her help I was able to find my way back to a positive future. The effects were: a boost in my self-confidence and a greater sense of freedom, as a professional and as a person.

Arthur Strang

Plant Manager, Tsubaki Nakashima

Concrete results from the coaching are that I make more conscious choices. First I look at the workload of a certain task and determine whether this task is necessary. Marijne is very competent and offers a safe environment. There is a lot of room for personal input. She filters the problem and offers a certain exercise. I received tools to actually make the steps to implement my actions.

Dominique Snijders

Lecturer Law, University of Applied Science Utrecht

Marijne coached me in a 'jobcrafting' process: looking for a new way of working. Value-driven and genuinely interested in translating my motives into a concrete plan of action. Marijne clearly brings a lot of substantive knowledge to the discussions and uses this in a flexible way. What I liked is that this flexibility resulted in a very individual process; I never had the feeling that a program was being run. Partly because of this, the coaching has been very successful: I am satisfied with my new work and we did a joint evaluation with my supervisor. I would recommend Marijne as a coach because of her personal approach, expertise and sparkling personality.

Robert Wisse

Medical specialist and entrepreneur

During my coaching period I got to know Marijne recently as a pleasant and experienced coach who takes the time to listen to you, someone who also knows how to trigger your thoughts about things in a natural way. This has helped me to look at things differently in both my work and my private life. I am therefore grateful to her for these insights and would certainly recommend Marijne to others who want to get to know and improve themselves. I look back on a successful coaching period with her.

Daphne Henning

Senior Marketing Manager, KPN

Marijne guided me in an executive coaching process during one of my interim assignments. She explicitly shared responsibility for the outcome of coaching, but at the same time was clearly in control of the development process. Marijne is a senior professional with a quick understanding of the coaching question context and the possibilities she can offer for support that makes a difference. With her, I was able to learn that my action perspective in complex situations is much greater than I could have imagined for myself.

‘Break the barrier’ reflects how I experienced the coaching sessions with Marijne. I had the pleasure of working with Marijne on refining personal goals, setting clear actions and she coached me superbly in applying new techniques to change certain perspectives. Marijne has the ability to quickly connect as a person/coach, she creates a open and warm environment and turns thoughts into actions that support personal and professional growth. I highly recommend Marijne as an Executive Coach.
