Coach: Karen Makkes van der Deijl

“Karen is very personal and involved. Her presence, calm and yet energising style is remarkable. Sessions with her are always enthralling, each time created new insights, ideas and questions. Time with her flew by and she was able to stimulate me with the right questions that sent me in a good direction. I enjoyed our collaboration. It was really nice to get to know Karen!”

“Karen is a sparkling, strong woman with a lot of intuition. She has a passionate way of coaching and takes you where you didn’t know you dared to go… She’s a honest and social colleague with a nice sense of humour. A good companion for a difficult task.”

“Karen is a very energising coach and always looks on the bright side of life. She is a joy to work with!”

“Karen coached me and my team in a long term project. We met twice a month for a period of four months. During that period Karen managed to give me and my team useful advice on how to improve our cooperation and make the team more effective. She was always energetic and focused. After the official programme ended, I asked her to coach some team members some more. I’m positive she will do a great job again.”

“I got to know Karen as an enthusiastic coach, always looking for opportunities to make a team stronger and to improve her client’s function and performance. In my experience, she really can add value when people are inclined to get lost in their own technical issues, thereby being blind to the role of communication and social context. And, not unimportant, Karen is, as far as I can see, really interested in people.”
