Real stories.
The best way to understand what I do, is to hear from the people who’ve sat across from me. In coaching, in mentorships or at the edge of a breakthrough. Their words say more than I ever could. You’ll also find reflections and writings from my own side of the table: thoughts, stories, and lessons I’ve picked up along the way. No filters. Just honesty.
My personal sessions with Maarten are time and again moments of gaining new insights.
He helps me view things from different perspectives, allowing me to grow into a better version of myself.
Maarten listens attentively and responds with just the right balance.
I’ve been doing sessions with him for several months now, and I’ve noticed a real shift in how I view various
situations. Both in my personal and professional life.
Coaching with Maarten is highly recommended!
The experience I had with Maarten is one of the best things I’ve done. For my business and for myself.
Maarten stepped in when a conflict arose between me and one of my team members. Both sides were clouded by ego
and unresolved trauma, and I couldn’t see her side of the story. The issue wasn’t about her performance. She’s
incredibly talented. It was about the way we interacted, and it affected the entire atmosphere within the
company. I was at a crossroads: either find a solution or lose an amazing person and team member.
We all carry trauma, and we all have an ego. If ignored, these things will eventually resurface. They show up
as small or big triggers in both your personal and professional life, placing unnecessary weight on your
shoulders.
I wasn’t raised to ask for help, and letting my guard down was completely out of my comfort zone. So yes, I was
very skeptical about working with Maarten. In fact, I admit I only did his first assignment to prove to my
business partner: “See? I told you it’s her fault, not mine.” But Maarten gave me new perspectives. Ways of
looking at things that helped me better understand my team, my business partner, and the people around me. On
a personal level, we uncovered hidden traumas that had been quietly impacting my behavior and relationships.
This kind of deep work, emotional awareness, empathy, and mindset shift, is something that’s rarely (if ever)
taught in business school or at your next leadership conference. But it will impact your business profoundly
if you approach it with patience and the right guidance.
Today, I feel more calm. A lot of stress has lifted from my shoulders. In just two months, I went from not
knowing how to move forward with a valued team member (due to communication issues, ego, and trauma), to fully
accepting her, making time for her, and recognizing her value in the company. And on top of that, I’m growing
personally, which is improving every area of my life.
Maarten understands you. Even when you don’t understand yourself.
Whether it’s ego, childhood wounds, or toxic patterns of thinking, he gently unblocks those layers, helping
you see clearly again.
I honestly wish everyone could sit down with Maarten. It’s life-changing. For you and for your business
If something inside you stirred, it’s not coincidence.
That quiet nudge you’re feeling? It’s the part of you that’s ready. Ready to finally meet yourself. Ready to come home. If you’re done living someone else’s story, let’s begin yours.
