What clients are saying …
“My coaching with Marileen was very thought-provoking and really helped me to move forward. She asked some very perceptive questions which helped me to understand some of the internal self-limiting beliefs which have been holding me back - this helped me to crush my inner critic! Marileen gave me some great insights which helped me build my confidence in myself and my skills. With her support and encouragement, I gained clarity about the kind of role that would suit me - and she encouraged me to have the courage to go after the career I want!”
Heather, UK Civil Service London 2020
“The coaching sessions with Marileen have been extremely helpful and really enjoyable. I have become more aware of who I am, I have gained clarity on what really matters to me and identified the type of role and type of organisation I genuinely wanted to work for. Marileen guided and supported me during a tricky transition period, helping me regain confidence and a much stronger sense of self worth and identify key values. Through our sessions I found new energy, put aside apathy and felt empowered again to apply for different roles and push for the ones that I deeply wanted. I have truly enjoyed and valued our time together and would highly recommend her as a coach”

“When I reached out to Marileen for coaching, I was applying for headships and in the midst of high-stakes interviews I was suffering from imposter syndrome. By getting me to think about my goals and my blockers, Marileen helped me to see things differently- in terms of what I offered to an employer- not my outmoded idea of what I felt a head teacher should look like. The coaching helped me to reject limiting assumptions that had been stopping me from being authentically me, imbuing me with the confidence I needed to unlock my potential. If you’re thinking about coaching, do it and reach out to Marileen!”
Kelly, Headmistress London 2020
“I really enjoyed my coaching sessions with Marileen. She demonstrated ability to use a great variety of coaching tools and techniques, was able to help me think deeply about my challenges, created a very safe space for me to explore new perspectives, bring creativity and innovation to problem solving. One of the greatest impact of her coaching was to encourage me to stretch my boundaries, step outside of my comfort zone and set higher goals - this led to greater business results and new growth opportunities. Her lovely personality and genuine interest in my development also made our sessions fun and lively. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a coach.”
Graziela, Consultant London 2020
“I found Marileen to be a very open, warm-hearted, and apt listener, who would create a safe space in which I was able to explore self-limiting truths. I was then able to step further and change them into an accepting and more friendly attitude towards myself. I was able to reach my goals of feeling more relaxed, less hectic and whipped on by an unforgiving inner driver. Now there is more joy and more being in the presence, more being alive instead of sole functioning, while still being productive and creative, maybe even more so! I also feel that my relationships have improved. I feel very grateful!”

The one to one coaching sessions with Marileen came at a time when I wanted to take time to think about my professional journey.
Marileen was very good at helping me think about my personal development: having been a free lance consultant working on my own most of the time we went through the difficulties or frustrations that can happen, and how to better deal with the inner critic voices, the struggles to please everyone at work but also in my personal life. I really enjoyed the sessions : thinking about myself, becoming more aware of who I am, giving me tips and resources to better deal with stresses. Thanks Marileen!

“Coming from a very competitive background, I tend to have many doubts about my hard and soft skills. During the sessions with Marileen, I have learned how to be more compassionate with myself and how to celebrate my success stories without sabotaging them. Very naturally, Marileen has changed my perspective on both work and life. It is ok to slow down, I am more than just my results and if there is a race that I feel the need to participate in, then it is the one between myself and I. Marileen coaching and inspiring approach has been very valuable and I wish our paths cross again in the future.”

“I have worked with Marileen on a one on one basis for the past year. Our sessions have been extremely useful, helping me as I am working towards developing my new career goals. Marileen is very insightful, compassionate and kind, has great positive energy and pushes me to evolve by asking the right questions, guiding my thinking and developing more self awareness. I am very grateful to her for accompanying me on this journey as I have been growing in confidence and have managed to establish healthy boundaries for myself ”
