Henriëtte W

Experience

Henriëtte has lived and worked as an executive and communications trainer as well as a personal coach in three different countries – Brazil, China, and the United States. During this overseas work she witnessed how different organisations and cultures can be like, she also learnt how to appreciate both the successes and pitfalls of these cultures.

Some of her clients include Booking, Heineken, Unilever, Exxon Mobile, Tyco and Shell.

She is passionate about guiding others to be the best they can be, to professionally overcome challenges and be effective in the executive world, and grow to their full potential - both from a business perspective as well as a personal one.

Coaching philosophy

People come to me for coaching because they want a change in their lives, they seek help to evoke a transformation.  Coaching is a process that helps us get the most fulfillment out of our work and our personal lives.  It is the coaching relationship that gives power to the coaching process. 

I help my clients connect with their strengths.  Have them make choices coming from a powerful perspective, holding them accountable as resourceful, and whole people.  unleashing their potential to overcome their challenges and achieve their objectives. I am curious to explore what works for them — what brings energy and what drains their energy.  This is a process from inside to outside from feeling fulfilled and joyful towards having a meaningful job and career. In an international setting I'm committed to create cultural awareness and it’s leverage to my clients to working effectively and efficiently.

It definitely changed my life.

Simon Gosney, Head of Learning and Development
 Tim has provided some high quality coaching support to me through a time of transition both in terms of job, career and organisational changes. He is a skilled and experienced executive coach who facilitated just the right mix of reflection, future visioning, challenge, compassion and stretch. I’d strongly recommend working with him if you are going through a career or organisation transition. Fun to work with, I always left my sessions with him feeling significantly clearer and more content with my overall direction of travel and next steps.

Neil Savage, Director of Organisational Development 2gether NHS Foundation Trust
 “I selected my coach on the basis that she had a completely different approach to my structured way of thinking. Katherine challenged me and took me way out of my comfort zone – scary and uncomfortable at times but eye-opening. These coaching sessions enabled me to see things from a very different perspective, gave me the time and space to reflect on my practice and provided practical tips and approaches as to how I can develop my performance.”
