I was already a coach & mediator before I decided to become one.

My most important core values are about autonomy, personal responsibility and justice. Always with a dose of humor and (self) perspective. Combined with an extremely broad interest, this led me to Nyenrode and then to a career in communications and interim management. I enjoyed learning a lot about people and companies there. But ultimately I wanted something different. With the life and work experience I gained, I often saw what people, teams and organizations were struggling with and, above all, that things could be done differently and extended a helping hand. A coach then helped me find my next path. I had never been coached before, but what a special journey it was, in retrospect what was so diffuse seems so logical.

My strength is that I can really listen. To people, to what is not said and to the energy in the room. I don’t take anything as a given, I don’t think anything is crazy, I don’t judge, I always look for other perspectives and I certainly dare to ask the difficult questions. Security and confidentiality are the ever-present anchor points.

In addition to my studies in business administration at Nyenrode, I am an accredited mediator (MfN register), co-active coach at CTI (Co-active Training Institute London) and I have followed many training courses, including as a confidential counselor and DISC assessor.

When a business relationship unilaterally canceled existing agreements, this led to an immediate conflict situation and also to logistical problems. Petra first spoke to both parties separately. Based on this and by digging deeper, creative solutions emerged. Petra then organized a meeting with both parties. In this session a solution was jointly chosen and the sting was removed from the personal conflict.

Professionally distant and at the same time intensely involved. This is how I experienced the coaching by Petra. During the outbreak of the coronavirus, I was overcome with intense fear. In three telephone sessions, Petra got me back on my feet, although she emphasizes that I did this myself. She literally guided me outside with (telephone) walking sessions. I can now breathe freely again, sometimes even cheerfully and carefree. Thank you Petra!

The coaching I received from Petra has been a starting point for me on an endless journey through a beautiful world called ME. I have become aware that my own mindset and how I feel about myself determines my behavior and how I experience my fellow travelers. For me personally, this has resulted in a more natural balance as a person, not just as a professional or as a leader. I would like to give this gift to anyone who is ready and dares to look in the mirror with Petra.
