My Mission
Leaders have the ability to inspire and motivate others.

Throughout my coaching journey with Karin, I've gained some of the most valuable insights of my life. One of the most profound realizations has been the importance of self-reflection and mindfulness in fostering growth. Karin’s coaching style, marked by her thought-provoking questions, has allowed me to discover answers within myself, which I find incredibly empowering.

She has a real knack for helping me sort out the mental clutter that I experience when I’m in my own head. She never told me what to do or what to think, but she gave me the environment and the resources to figure out what I was thinking, to reflect critically on my assumptions, and to open myself up to different ways of thinking.

More About Karin
A Global Explorer
I’m an explorer, learner, and helper at heart, driven by a passion for cultural diversity and personal growth. An "overseas" childhood has taught me independence, resilience, and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Despite feeling like an outsider at times, these experiences have fuelled my love for exploration and my desire to help others feel seen and heard.
Guiding Through Transitions
Having navigated multiple career and life transitions, I understand the unease and opportunity that change brings. My background in international teaching, leadership, counselling, and coaching helps me guide others through transitions with empathy and insight. Challenging transitions can be overwhelming, but are also opportunities for incredible growth!
Balancing Ambition and Well-being
As a mother of two teenage daughters, I understand the challenges of balancing professional ambitions with personal well-being. My own experience with burnout taught me the importance of prioritizing physical and mental health. I enjoy vegan food, love exercise, soak in the daily beauty nature has to offer, and - after years of trying - have found the bliss of being still in meditation.
A Passion for Lifelong Learning and Supporting Others
The Hague, The Netherlands is my home, but I connect and support professionals all over the globe. Besides coaching, I lead workshops on topics such as well-being, authentic leadership, managing difficult conversations, with the goal to inspire sustainable, balanced ways of working that bring joy and confidence to professionals. I’ve spent my whole working life challenging and growing myself, while helping others unlock their own potential. It gives me great joy, inspiration and gratitude to be a part of people’s transformations.
