Leadership Coaching
leaders & self-leaders
We coach people on their leadership skills: how to become a better business or team leader or how to become en effective self-leader, prevention of long-term absenteeism or as a sparringpartner for business leaders who seek reflection on their approach.
Our coaching sessions usually take place in the open air. Why? Because change requires people to move, discover new perspectives and develop a fresh view on the past, the present, the desired future and how to get there.
