Leadership Expert and Executive & Team Coach 

Developing leaders and their teams to connect with themselves, each other, and their stakeholder groups.
They then lead with purpose and make a positive impact in their organization and wider world.

Working with people can be a blast once everything runs smoothly. But hey, life isn’t always perfect. And today's pressures are enormous. 

 

Besides that, people can be complex and organizations are complex too. It can be energy draining when team relationships are challenging, and things don’t go as planned. You may start doubting your own leadership. And as a result, your stress levels increase, you likely start doing more of what isn’t helpful and you feel alone.   

 

Do you recognize one of these common team issues?

  • Absence of trust; invulnerability, interpersonal issues, lack of open sharing of challenges and limitations

  • Fear of conflict; artificial harmony, inability to resolve conflicts

  • Lack of commitment; ambiguity, decisions not respected, lack of participation in meetings 

  • Avoidance of accountability; low standards, no accountability to team decisions, difficulty making team decisions

  • Inattention to results; status and ego get in the way, lack of focus on the success of the work/project and lack of results

I have seen many of these issues in the teams I am working with. And it doesn’t need to be like that! 

 

My role as a team coach is as a space maker and gentle challenger; making space for people to have the conversations they need to have in their organizations. And challenge them to create brave new thinking and behaviors. Space for transformation. To live better, do better and lead better. 

 

That is where I come in and am at my best. I have been a leader myself and had my own highs and lows like many of us. I truly understand the challenges leaders and teams face.

Listen to Manja's experience 

Manja van Steijn, HR Director at Saint-Gobain, shares her observations and learnings while working with me and a colleague. We have been using the tool Hallos Triads to strengthen the relationships within the Central Europe Leadership Team for Abrasives. 

What other clients are saying

"She managed to have a significant impact on me as an individual as well as on me as a team member and us as a team. Tjessica understands the art of active listening and doesn’t settle for less than the root cause in a very emphatic and caring way. I really appreciated her courage and vulnerability to try new ways to get us focused on our goals."
