I was born and raised in the Netherlands. I became a carpenter at sixteen years old. Then joined the Royal Dutch Army and trained to become a machine gunner in the infantry when I was seventeen. Two years later i left the service and started a study in Social Pedagogic Work and thereafter a teacher education. Since my father brought me to the Scouts at eight years old, I was and always will be a Scout. Since 2011 i emigrated from the Netherlands to Norway. I worked with historical buildings and wooden ships a bit and have had my own building company for nearly five years.
Do you know who I am now? No, because I am more than the choices and experiences I have made. There is depth to everything that seems simple just as there is simplicity to everything that seems complicated.
For more than two decades now I have known that i needed to evolve, grow and use all my competencies in this world. I know I am here to work with people. To ask the questions we only whisper in the dark when we are alone. I am here to laugh from the belly and catch tears. Defeat the monster under our bed and in the closet.
About my method
I am a Certified International NLP Practitioner and almost Certified International new code NLP Practitioner. NLP means Neuro Linguistic Programming. All our behaviour can be understood as social programs. When our neurons fire in the brain as we create our thoughts, these become language. Some of us think in words and pictures, others in sounds and colours. Based upon what we think our choices are made and they translate into behaviour. Behaviour can be visible (external) or invisible (internal).
Within NLP there are many options to coach people, from conversations to games and using our imagination to visualize. Breathing, walking or even dancing and singing. NLP is about you. My task is to listen to your words, expressions and non-verbal communication. Then i translate this into the questions you need to discover that all the answers are already right there, inside you.
