You’ve come to the right place.

Leaders who work internationally have exciting and turbulent lives. They are always on the move, they juggle multiple priorities, high pressure and high stakes. They operate in complex environments with different cultural contexts. Their private lives are often disrupted.

As a Global Executive Coach, I help leaders stay grounded and equip them with the tools to navigate through their fast-paced life. Together we work on your mindset, strategy, energy and skills to have the clarity and focus you need to create the growth and impact you want. No matter where you live and no matter where you work.

Testimonials

“Before coaching, I was leading a rapidly expanding organization in a growing market while navigating a challenging internal environment. Time and focus were my biggest hurdles. From our very first interaction, Liesbeth’s approach stood out: clear, structured, and practical—enabling me to turn insights into actions. Her communication is direct yet supportive, which immediately built trust and momentum.

What I valued most were the open, frank conversations. There was no rigid agenda; instead, a genuine back-and-forth that always led to what mattered most. As a result, I’ve created more freedom and optimism in how I lead and live. I see fewer obstacles—both personally and in the business—and I choose what’s right for me more often, without losing sight of ‘us’ and the organization’s interests. The most powerful shift? Realizing I’m doing a great job—without doubt.

If you’re considering working with Liesbeth: she brings the knowledge and tools to cut through noise, create clarity in complex situations, and keep you focused on what truly moves the dial. She’s not afraid to challenge assumptions and ask the uncomfortable—but necessary—questions. It’s exactly what I needed.”

“Before I started coaching with Liesbeth, I was struggling with the challenges of today’s fast-paced, system-changing environment. I questioned whether being ‘good’ was enough and felt the need for self-reflection guided by an experienced third party to prepare for the future.

The coaching journey began with curiosity and no expectations, but it led to lifelong lessons that have truly transformed me. The most significant changes I’ve experienced are a sense of calm, conviction, and the ability to communicate with concision, both in life and business. Liesbeth’s guidance has taught me not to wait for the ‘expected’ result but to trust the process and just take action.

What makes Liesbeth stand out is her ability to guide you toward your personal path of excellence while offering the right balance of support and challenge. She has a knack for knowing when to give you that necessary ‘kick in the butt’ to keep you moving forward. I’m already looking forward to returning for more!

If you’re considering hiring Liesbeth as a coach, I highly recommend her. She’s an experienced executive coach who will help you unlock your full potential and make that next big leap in a way that becomes an enjoyable and even addictive journey.”

“Before coaching with Liesbeth, I was challenged by the way I reacted to situations and my inability to gain clear direction for the next steps in both life and career. I knew I needed help with guidance, and that’s what led me to coaching.

Liesbeth came highly recommended by a good friend, which made the decision easier, as I had only heard great things about her. In our initial meeting, I could tell she wasn’t just about banking another client. She understood my needs, made me do actual work right away, and created an instant connection. I felt that she truly wanted to help and could provide me with the tools to take on new challenges in both my career and life. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made so far.

What I enjoyed most about coaching with Liesbeth was the well-thought-out plan tailored to my specific needs. There was no ‘one size fits all’ approach. Every session was dynamic, and nothing was off the table. While the work was tough, it became one of the most enjoyable parts of my ‘homework’ because it made me dig deep to uncover aspects driving my behaviors. Once these were identified, the deep discussions and tools she provided were invaluable—not just for that moment but for my future as well. I still use these tools today.

Liesbeth was always engaged, nothing was too hard to tackle, and she made the sessions fun, which made me look forward to each one!

In the six months I worked with Liesbeth, a lot has changed in my life. I react differently to situations, ensuring I have the right intentions and outcomes for both sides. I’ve improved how I listen to people. The most impactful change has been learning how to manage my energy levels—how to avoid emotional reactions, stay curious, and motivate myself. These components combined have created a different person. I have drive again, fulfillment, and alignment between my goals and my values, which we discovered during our sessions.

The most impactful improvement was learning how to shift my energy levels. This has been an invaluable tool that I’ll use for the rest of my life, both personally and professionally.

If you’re considering a coach, I can’t recommend Liesbeth enough. It was one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life. Not a minute was wasted, and it’s something everyone should do. If you’re ready for a change, Liesbeth is one of the best out there. I’ve worked with another coach before, but the outcomes with Liesbeth were incomparable.”
