Reconnecting with Your Own Nature Through Nature

In 2021, I went on a trail in Switzerland. It was a remarkable time, with the entire world undergoing rapid change due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I was also going through a period of transition and had lost touch with myself. After a long career in the corporate world (ASN, KPMG, VBDO, MVO Nederland and Sustainable Talent), working as a manager and coach in sustainability and corporate social responsibility, I felt it was time for a change.

From Working Hard to Working from the Heart

Slowing down and finding stillness in nature brings you closer to your own nature. After all, we are nature too!

I have experienced first-hand how healing nature can be, helping us regain our balance and restore our energy. But nature also acts as a mirror, allowing us to reconnect with our inner compass.

In nature, I learned to shift from working hard to working more from the heart. This inspired me to change direction and focus on guiding professionals who feel stuck in their work and personal lives, as a trainer, coach and Ambassador for the Inner Development Goals.

Natural Leadership

There is no leadership without connection — with yourself and with others.

As a member of FNL’s Community Committee, I am committed to bringing members together, fostering connection and inspiring them to take action, guided by our shared ambition: “Be the leader you naturally are.”
