Is this you?
You've been building your career for years. You're good at what you do. But something's shifted, and you can't quite name it.
Maybe it's one of these:
-
You're stuck and the Sunday dread is getting louder
-
You've been job searching for months with nothing landing
-
You were laid off or restructured out and need to regroup
-
You're considering a career change but have no idea where to start
-
You moved to the Netherlands and your career feels like it reset to zero
-
You keep getting passed over and can't figure out why
If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
What you get
This isn't coaching where we spend six sessions exploring how you feel about your values. This is practical, structured, and grounded in how organizations actually make decisions, because I've been the one making them.
Insider perspective
When I coach you on your job search, interview prep, or positioning, it's based on what I've seen work from the other side of the table.
Leadership lens
If your career challenge involves managing up, navigating office politics, or figuring out whether you want to lead at all, I've lived it.
Research based
The strategies we build aren't just based on experience; they're informed by what the research says about motivation, career identity, and occupational wellbeing.
Driven approach
Every session has a clear focus and ends with concrete next steps.
No fluff. Just progress.
Programs designed around where you are right now
Practical, honest coaching for professionals navigating career transitions, leadership growth, and workplace challenges.
No jargon. No fluffy motivation. Just clarity and action.
Expat Career Boost
5 sessions
For international professionals who need their application and interview game sharp for the Dutch job market.
The programme runs 5 sessions across two focused tracks:
-
Application Strategy (2 sessions): covers your CV, LinkedIn profile, and cover letter. Making sure your experience is readable and compelling in the local context.
-
Interview Prep (3 sessions): takes you through confidence, communication style, and offer negotiation, so you walk into every room prepared rather than hoping for the best.
Career Transformation
12 sessions
For experienced professionals ready to make a deliberate career switch, not just find another version of the same job. This is deeper work, built for people who know their current path is not the right one and want to move with clarity and intention.
Across 12 sessions, we work through three pillars:
-
Self-Awareness (understanding your values, strengths, and what you actually want next)
-
Personal Brand (sharpening how your experience lands in a new context or industry)
-
Application Strategy (building a realistic, targeted plan for making the switch stick).

We started from a career coaching perspective and very quickly she was able to link things I said during different conversations and ask the right questions to help me get more clarity. For more ad hoc cases, she's also very hands on

Common questions
How is this different from other career coaching?
Most career coaches work from the outside in. I spent 20 years on the inside: hiring, managing teams, making the decisions that shaped people's careers.
That perspective changes everything about how I coach. You get strategies based on how things actually work, not how they should work in theory.
What's the difference between Expat Career Boost and Career Transformation?
Expat Career Boost is for professionals who know what they want to do and need their application and interview game sharp for the job market. It's 5 sessions focused on execution.
Career Transformation is for professionals who need to figure out the direction first. It's 12 sessions covering self-awareness, personal brand, and application strategy.
Not sure which fits? Book a Power Hour and we'll figure it out together.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on where you are. Expat Career Boost runs across 5 sessions and is focused on job search execution. Career Transformation is 12 sessions for a deeper career switch.
If you're not sure, a Power Hour is a good starting point: one session to get clarity on what you actually need, with no package commitment.
We can also build a custom programme if none of the standard options fit.
Do you help with CVs and LinkedIn?
Yes. The Expat Career Boost programme includes two dedicated Application Strategy sessions covering your CV, LinkedIn profile, and cover letter, making sure your experience is readable and compelling for the market you're targeting.
For clients on other programmes, CV and LinkedIn work can be woven in where it's relevant to the broader strategy. It's never just formatting; it's about figuring out what story you're telling and making it land with hiring managers.
Can I switch or combine programmes?
Yes. Every programme can be fully customised. If you start with one focus and realize you need something different, we adjust. If none of the programmes feel like an exact match, we'll build something that does.
Can we work online?
Yes. Sessions are available online via video call.
I'm an expat in the Netherlands. Do you understand the Dutch job market?
Yes. I work with international professionals navigating the Dutch market, including the cultural differences, the networking expectations, and the realities of job searching as an expat. Many of my clients are internationals.
Do I need to be based in the Netherlands?
No. While many of my clients are based in the Netherlands, I work with professionals across Europe and The United States.
Sessions are online, so location isn't a barrier. What matters is that you're ready to do the work, not where you're doing it from.
