About Me

Here you find some things about me.

As a child I was taught that it is important to think in an independent, free way and to develop a personal vision. Results would be gained by creativity and the pleasure in doing the things you like. 

Happiness seemed obvious to me and I could wonder about how people found their place in life. The reason that some people easily had that happiness and others not. I didn't understand anything about it at that time.  

My quest for life began: 

I went to school with much pleasure and after high school I choose creative educations, fashion designer and teacher creative textiles. Both not only creative but very independent in their performance. 

In that period it became clear to me that, as an employer, creativity will be valued as long it fits with a standard that is put in advance. 

I felt limited by that and this gave me the impulse to choose for a new profession. A profession wherein I could help people to stay stronger in their independent personal choices and to take the responsibility for it.

I got my bachelors degree in career coaching. I went on working thirteen years as trainer and coach with people who had (life)career questions. Beside this, I gave training programs 'train the trainer', 'train the career coach' and 'communication skills'.

During the above mentioned period I have followed many additional courses, like biographical working, NLP and Time Line Therapy. The need for working according my personal vision became always bigger.

I have risked the leap and started my own small business.  By that I choose to be independent myself, to be free and to take responsibility for it. 

All experiences from all people that I guided the last sixteen years have given me a treasure of information. By that it became clear to me that a problem never comes solely and that personal beliefs always are on the root of its existing. 

Eventually I have to tell you this: - something that's just as important as all things above mentioned - my life isn't perfect and I am not perfect. 

Nothing human is strange to me: I have worked through many challenges  in my life. I have my vices too, like not doing everything that I resolved. Recognizable? 

My quest for life is not finished for a long time yet, but what I know by now is that it is about listening to yourself, that what you seek in the outer world, in fact is looking for yourself. 

If you are on track to find this, you will attract in the outer world what will bring you happiness. The happiness which I wondered about as a child and that seemed so obvious. 

I live in a very little country, no more than a dot on the globe, the Netherlands, and it is common knowledge that we are great in particular areas of knowledge, arts and sports.  So if you feel just a little human being, think about this. You can be great too.

I am happy with life and for all possibilities it provides and that I, especially by my experiences and by learning from made failures, can give you guidance to your desired future. 

As you see I started my own Internet business, it's my next step to still more freedom. I give you my warm recommendations to do so too.

You will see a sunflower all over this site. Why?  They turn their flowers to the sun during the day. From east in the morning to west in the evening.

I wish you to turn your face to the sun side of life.
