Why Would You Hire an Executive Coach?

Liesbeth van der Linden - 21/08/2024

IT’S THE FOUNDATION PRINCIPLE THAT HOLDS ALL RELATIONSHIPS.” -Stephen Covey- We probably all know what trust feels like; that comfortable feeling that we share with people closest to us, our friends, our family; we know we can rely on them, they […]

What are your 3 Big Rocks?

Liesbeth van der Linden - 21/08/2024

In the past week I spoke with two leaders who were completely overwhelmed and stressed about the amount of work they had on their plates.
