“I can highly recommend Sofie as a coach. She helped me to believe in my self-worth and that I am indeed enough. This helped me to not only believe in my dreams, but also do something about it. Her questions to me, as well as her advice have propelled me in my thoughts, my actions and what I can expect out of life. She was exactly the type of coach I needed and her words and insights still echo in my mind. I am so grateful to have met her when I did. Thank you, Sofie, for challenging me, believing in me, helping me to overcome my own limiting beliefs as well as structure the road ahead.”

“It was great to have the support of Sofie as coach, she helped me in the application process for a more senior role in ING and once I started in this role she made me aware of my areas for improvement with practical advice on how to improve myself. At the start she told me she would not tell me what I want to hear, but what I need to hear. Good expectation management, because that is exactly what she did ;-)”

“I started working with Sofie when moving to the role of Country Director. During the coaching we narrowed down from a general perspective of self-reflection to some fully identified and specific leadership areas. This focus allowed me to better challenge the status quo, step out of my comfort zone and make some beneficial changes in my leadership behavior. As a coach Sofie is flexible in her approach whilst holding you fully accountable in the process and helping you to develop a more mature regard on yourself.
