"You sometimes have those encounters that you know will leave a lasting impression. Yesterday was the day; after various online meetings, now a live meeting with Karin Ockhuysen. After a warm reception, 'confronted' with your top 10 CliftonStrengths under the inspiring guidance of Karin. New discoveries and also confirmation of your own strengths. Impressive to do under the inspiring leadership of Karin. Thank you for this experience you will never forget! Inspiring, driven, professional and extremely pleasant. Highly recommended to start this discovery tour with Karin as a 'guide'."

Fun facts

The question I always ask my clients:

What step are you going to take today?

The word my clients most often use to describe me:

Warm and positive, result driven, a clarifying thinker.

The funniest praise for my work I have ever received:

A picture of a clients newborn (2 years after just a single coaching session).

The worst piece of advice I’ve ever received (in business):

That’s how it goes here.

Please spare us both the pain and do not even contact me if …

… when you've completely lost faith in the world.

A quote that inspires my work:

Be the change you want to see in the world.

I love being a part of the e2grow community because …

… I came across another club where more professionalism and drive come together and that fulfills my mission for better leaders, teams and organizations.

The perfect lunch:

Sashimi with white wine.

Now, this is annoying:

Feeling stuck in a situation that you have created yourself.

I would not be who I am today without …

… discovering my Clifton Strengths and becoming an entrepreneur

If I were an activist, I would fight for …

… better leaders within organizations

A book so good I bought it for others:
