About Irene
“I don’t see myself as a person who knows better, who knows more, who knows what to do or always has the right answer or solution.
​
Of course, I have seen a lot, experienced a lot, I went through deep healing processes, learned a lot, and have done a lot too. In various countries and in various fields. This makes me a well-seasoned human being.
​
But I think the most valuable realisation that came out of this is that I truly belief there is nothing more or better for me to do than to be a means for someone else to find his, hers or their organisation’s own best way of doing things.
​
Everybody knows themselves best, every manager or employee knows best how to be most successful. It is often a matter of digging it up, trusting it and acting upon it.
​
I refer, link, listen, understand, use all my senses and ask the right questions towards a guide for their best future.”

Through circumstances, I was in a certain stage of my life, where it was no longer clear to me what steps I wanted to take.
In that time I had a meeting with Irene and started a coaching course with her.
During this course I got to know Irene as a coach with whom you soon feel comfortable. Due to her specific, professional and own way of coaching and her wide life experience, she gets quickly to the heart of your problem in a non-scholastic way. The end result is a solution that the client has developed him/herself. Irene is, during this process, present unnoticeable, at one time as someone who is accompanying you, and at other times as a mirror, but throughout she is keeping the process of change in her hands.
I experienced Irene’s way of coaching as very valuable, and the course has given me many insights and helped me to make my choices.
