What’s included
Weekly Sessions
In our weekly 1-on-1 coaching sessions we will work on creating your personal blueprint that will support you to overcome the mental blocks and overwhelm that comes with your success. Too many ideas and possibilities might be holding you back from taking the next step. These sessions are designed to create a clear and aligned plan to grow your business with clarity and focus to your possibilities, so you can carve a path curated to your work ethics, business/professional goals, and more.
Custom Next Steps
Depending on your needs, I’ll support you with designing the next steps that will help you to design growth for your business, address any challenges or situations you’re facing, and tips for how to stay engaged in your growth as you move into a new phase. My knowledge and (international) network will be available to you in any way necessary.
Mindset Mapping
Besides supporting you in getting clear on which journey you’ll go on next, I also help you plan your professional future, through Future Mindset Mapping. Based on our sessions, I’ll help you begin drafting future business plans and making them actionable by creating a structure and a time and energy management system to set you up for success.
“Discovery is seeing what everybody else has seen but thinking what nobody else has thought.”

Discover.
This first phase (6 weeks) is primarily a discovery process. Your vision, your ideas, and your possibilities are being explored. The end result is a clear focus on where to direct your energy. In this phase, we will work on clarifying your project, your target group and drawing up an action plan. We will mainly focus on ensuring that your future steps are built on a solid foundation from where you can work with focus and purpose.
At the end of this first phase you will have clarity on:
your vision and motives
a short and long term goal
action plan workable for you
insight into your target group and their needs
focus on your most valuable possibilities
new insights and perspectives to build on
Discovery.
We will create a blueprint that will prepare your story for success. We identify your ideas, motives, vision. From this, we’ll make a clear action plan for the weeks to come.
You will be able to put things in perspective and see the steps that align with your business/project.
Empathy.
We will stretch your ideas and insights based on your foundation and observations. The purpose of this is that you look beyond your assumptions and find new angles from which idiosyncratic and striking ideas arise.
We uncover the underlying human need of your audience . The purpose is to understand what your audience values and cares about and to connect it your unique offer.
Insights.
By creating insights early, you’ll focus on building the content of your story. You will approach your project on a deeper layer. Based on research assignments you will delve into your subject, those involved and the target group.
You will be challenged to stretch your ideas and mindset in order to create at innovative and empathetic insights.
“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”
— Albert Einstein
Create.
For the next phase (6 weeks), you will mainly focus on building the structure of your new ideas. You’ll be brainstorming, find new ideas, test them quickly to then iterate before you make your new concept final. You’ll also look at the desirability, feasibility, and viability of your concept. This means that you will make sure it is a desirable solution, one that your customer needs. Your solution has to be build on the strengths of your current capabilities and your solution has to be profitable. Because in the end, you want to invest in a sustainable business!
In the end, you will have:
new innovative ideas to uplift your business
tested and tried your solution with one (or more) early prototype(s)
iterated and improved your product/service
perspective on the sustainability of your idea
a clear plan to lift your business higher!
Ideation.
The focus is on generating many ideas. It is often the wild ideas that evoke visionary thoughts. Brainstorming encourages you to think extensively and without limitations. With careful preparation and clear rules, a brainstorming session can generate hundreds of fresh ideas.
Experiment.
Experimentation brings ideas to life. Ideas are made tangible on the basis of prototypes. Especially with early and rough prototypes, immediate answers can be found that further improve and refine the idea. With as few resources as possible, a prototype is made that can be tested. By testing early, you avoid unnecessary costs at a later stage.
Evolution.
Small steps for improvement are taken at an early stage. You’ll improve the concept for your product or service in response to the insights gained through feedback, after which you’ll have a calculated proposal, ready to be further developed to be brought to life!
