Empowering
leaders to bloom

Good leadership determines the future, which is crucial in an ever-changing (VUCA) world. This requires adaptive leadership and a learning and value-driven based culture.

By focusing on leadership development, leaders, and teams, the core of the organization is strengthened. We facilitate organizations in this area by leveraging our years of expertise and doing what is necessary and useful together with our clients.

Our vision on growth

We combine practical wisdom with strategic insights to help leaders and organizations thrive. This means having a clear vision of strategic goals, leadership challenges, and translating them into daily practice.

We challenge our clients to move between ‘the balcony and the dance floor’. In other words, between stepping back to analyze and actively engaging. With a healthy balance between learning and performing.

Your pathway
to progress

The path to transformation and progress is different for everyone. This is why customization is crucial. We always start with an intake, a conversation with (part of) the target group, and clarity about the goals and current culture of the organization. Then we make a plan that we fine-tune together with our clients.

Heleen otto-Draijer

Founder

“I like to be at the intersection of ‘inside and outside’. Driven by thorough knowledge and analysis, combined with creativity and pragmatism, I guide organizations, teams, and individuals through transformations that are necessary or beneficial. I do this across organizations, from boardrooms to operations.

Additionally, I try to get to the bottom of the interests and issues of the world around the organization to understand what leadership and culture require. It is precisely in that combination that I see the added value.”

Heleen is a certified coach, public administration expert and organizational psychologist, working with Transactional Analysis, Barrett Values, body-mind psychology, MBTI, INSIGHTS, DISC, Professional Identity, Voice Dialogue, Integrated Coaching, Systemic Team coaching and Teamflow.

Kim Spanjaart –
van Meeuwen

Founder

“Due to my experience in building up various scale-ups and my previous roles as a HR and Talent manager at several company’s, I have a broad view on bringing a company and its leadership to a higher professional level. Learning and leadership not only require a good vision and guidance, but must also be firmly organized. In this way it will be secured and really part of the culture.

My vision on leadership and culture is ‘Practice what you Preach.’ If you want your employees to be agile on the work floor, then as management, you need to set a good example. And vice versa; it’s okay to complain now and then, but do you then take responsibility? I gladly hold this mirror up to you.”

Kim is a certified coach, stress and burnout prevention coach, and communication expert, working with Transactional Analysis, Systemic Work, Voice Dialogue, DISC, MBTI, and Barrett Values.

Christianne Leenhouts | Partner

Transformation of behavior is central to me as a (neuro)psychologist and coach. I believe that as an individual, manager or team there’s more to explore and deepen to really get to the core of the issue. My drive is to guide individuals and teams towards what truly matters. I am also a lecturer at The School of Life and a guest lecturer at VU.

Daan van Lith | Partner

For years, I was an IT manager and consultant, seeking more fulfillment in developing my leadership and that of others. In the end I discovered that it happens outside. I traded my suit for a windbreaker and moved to the Belgian Ardennes. Since then, I have been guiding teams and organizations in nature.

Aurélie Hudig | Partner

For over 20 years, I have been coaching people and teams to get more in touch with themselves. Recognizing ingrained patterns and experiencing freedom of choice sets an inner transformation in motion.

Ankje Hovinga | Partner

Change is not something you can create, but it can be guided by examining patterns and seeing what fits from the existing culture with the desired future. Change happens from leadership that leads in what they stand for. As a former military, manager, change expert, and coach, I guide leaders and teams.

Philip van der Kolk | Partner

Transformative learning challenges us to confront our prejudices and biases and rethink the world around us. When we encounter opposing perspectives, it pushes us beyond our comfort zones, sparking reflection. Through this process, one’s worldview can shift and be seen through a more open, inclusive lens. And that’s what I’m aiming for.
