Career coaching 
Your career journey starts here

After 12 years with my first employer, I felt it was time to take a step back and calmly reflect on the next stages of my career. I wanted to gain a clearer picture of my strengths, weaknesses, and interests, and find a job that truly fits me.

My career coach immediately made me feel at ease. She provided me with the tools to gain a better understanding of myself, which helped me form a clear picture of my ideal job and the different paths I could take in my career. She is genuinely caring and allows you to arrive at your own insights. She’s also very flexible when it comes to scheduling...

I no longer found satisfaction in my job and was looking for a new challenge after working for 36 years in the same family business (a supermarket). I was eager to learn new things and wanted to make a career change, but I didn’t know exactly in which direction or how to start. Through career coaching, I hoped to gain a clearer view of my talents and discover which path would truly suit me (a search for my interests).

During my sessions with my career coach, I discovered the direction I really wanted to take — a job where I could help people. My applications were positively received by all the...

I followed a coaching program because the joy in my job was slowly disappearing. I felt constantly rushed and tired, doing most things simply because they had to be done. I also realized that I wasn’t setting enough boundaries with my colleagues. My coach gave me practical tools to handle this differently, using techniques from compassionate (nonviolent) communication.
I highly recommend Sterk op je Werk to anyone who, like me, wants to rediscover joy in their work and feel less overwhelmed by everything that comes their way during the workday.

As a busy veterinarian running a thriving practice, I had been feeling for some years that my work-life balance was off. I wanted to enjoy more time with my family and friends — more real quality time.
The coaching program at Sterk op je Werk helped me regain clarity about where I want to go with my career path. As a result, I now work more efficiently in my practice and delegate more tasks, allowing me to truly enjoy quality time with the people I care about most.
I would highly recommend this program to any busy, hard-working entrepreneur who wants to achieve a better work-life balance. Truly...

I needed a new challenge — I had grown tired of my job. The career coaching program with my coach resulted in a concrete career change. I highly recommend career coaching with Sterk op je Werk to anyone who feels stuck in their role or is looking for renewed motivation and new opportunities.
My coach took a very personal approach — no ready-made templates, just truly customized guidance tailored to my situation.

I already had several ideas for my professional future, but I didn’t have a clear view on how to actually get there — or whether the plans I had in mind truly matched my wishes, dreams, and who I am as a person. My career coach gave me practical tools to work with and helped me create my own plan. I was also regularly confronted with a mirror, which allowed me to take a deeper look at my self-awareness, insights, and communication style.

As a result, I was able to take well-considered steps toward a growing career. My coach also provided plenty of useful examples, tools, and relevant literature...

Sofie is a pleasant and understanding coach who starts from the person in front of her. The career coaching program was the perfect opportunity to first discover myself before moving on to what the next step could be. What I also appreciated was that it gave me perspective and took away the pressure to have everything figured out right now. Sofie offers a personalized approach and showed great commitment throughout the entire process. I’m very satisfied with the career coaching I followed!

During a period when I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to stay in my current job, Ann helped me regain solid ground under my feet. Although no major changes were made, her guidance gave me the confidence to approach my manager with well-founded questions. The coaching process also forced me to take a step back and put everything into perspective, which led to some major positive decisions in my personal life as well. Ann is a warm and empathetic person with a great capacity to listen. She never judges, but offers valuable advice that really makes you think. Thanks to her practical tips, I now...

I went through a period when everything at work became too much for me. After 33 years of permanent service in the same workplace, I turned to a temp agency, where I was fortunately advised to consider career coaching instead. Through Google, I found “Sterk op je werk,” got in touch with a coach, and started a program that pushed me outside my comfort zone. It gave me space to be myself but also challenged me to look at things differently. I was confronted with myself — sometimes uncomfortably so — but couldn’t avoid those moments of truth.

Thank you for giving me a new perspective, for helping...

I wanted to replace one of my two part-time jobs with something new. As a medical secretary, I wasn’t earning enough. Thanks to my coach’s guidance, I have now successfully started working as a freelance administrative support professional. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to make lasting, meaningful changes in their career path.

At a certain point, I found too little satisfaction in my career. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but I felt an emptiness — a lack of fulfillment — and started thinking about which direction I could still take. I could see myself doing a dozen other jobs, started checking job postings every day, and looked up information about training programs. My head was full, and I really needed some guidance and support. My partner and friends wanted to see me motivated and happy, but they couldn’t make the decision for me.

A friend suggested I contact a career coach, and that’s how I ended up with...

Even as an experienced account manager, I greatly benefited from the individual career coaching program at Sterk op je Werk. Re-identifying my strengths, talents, and growth opportunities — and discovering how to find the right support within my team — proved to be a valuable exercise for any manager. The professional coaching style and strong interventions of my career coach ensured that each session was constructive and insightful, allowing me to move forward with renewed enthusiasm and confidence in my career.

Thanks again for the coaching! I’ve started working on our to-do list and already took the first steps. I’m still updating my LinkedIn and other channels, but my new website is already online: SelmaFranssen.com.

I also came across an interesting platform for consultants that I’ll definitely sign up for: www.kopiloot.be.

And in my newsletter for freelancers, I wrote a short piece about how I experienced the job coaching sessions :-)

Best,
Selma

I wanted to gain a deeper understanding of my leadership skills and learn how to apply them effectively in my professional context. My career coach was flexible, dedicated, and highly motivating, bringing an enthusiasm that made every session truly engaging. The combination of inspiring conversations and practical tools proved invaluable in my international role and continues to support me today. I’m certain I’ll keep drawing on these insights well into the future.
