Testimonials

Robert helped me to finally take the new direction within my work as a photographer. He guided me in dealing with all the new changes.

Robert is a very accessible and open-minded coach with a well-developed psychological insight on a personal level; does not shy away from personal conversation and the depth of it, but then also deals very pragmatically with the insights obtained together.

A super business coach that I would heartily recommend to everyone!

Robert is an amazing career coach. Before working with him, I felt stuck in my career and was about to give up. His unique approach taught me how to be more confident and to give value to myself and my working experience. Now I have much more clarity about what the next step in my career will look like. I highly recommend working with Robert, you won’t be disappointed

I hired Robert for 10 sessions of coaching after moving to Amsterdam to undertake a new job role. It was and is great having Robert in my corner. His approach is pragmatic and is backed by a sincere desire to help which is underpinned by an obvious passion for people. The guys eyes light up when you talk about your aspirations and that’s pretty inspiring in itself.

From navigating specific strategic challenges at work, to defining values, and building a useful routine, he was and is a great help. He helps you have vision, apply common sense, and also is just a pleasant and respectful person. His background as a corporate attorney, gives him a good insight I believe.

We would usually do it over a coffee or some lunch, so it always felt relaxed. Also, he follows up with a recap of notes, plus things to read, and exercises to do. He’s also around for a quick text if you have a question.

I would recommend Robert as a coach to anyone who wants to make positive changes in their life.
— Guy Lewis - creative director at an international ad agency
 
Robert is very skillful, charismatic, involved and compassionate coach. The best experience ever for me. Coaching with Robert centered around some communication problems with management at work. I am now in a much better place:
• My communication with Management improved
• I don’t talk as much and listen much more
• I have confidence in myself.

I certainly am looking forward to continue in a later stage with Robert for the next coach sessions. Strongly recommend Robert to anyone and not just to those that encounter problems at work (Business coach). Also privately (as a Life coach), if you want to learn some new skills or improve your current situation.

Robert helped me very well in articulating my ‘why’- purpose and intent. He facilitated this intensive process with elegance and professionalism which enabled me to freely express myself in this explorative and self reflective journey.

During a period of three months, Robert and I met on several occasions. During these meetings, which took place in a friendly and relaxed setting, Robert helped me with dealing with stressful situations which I encountered during my transition from a junior role to a more senior role within an international law firm. Afterwards I noticed that my ability to put things into perspective has greatly improved and that I gained confidence when facing stressful situations

Robert showed me how you can look at yourself in a positive yet critical way. Because of this I started to see what my strengths and weaknesses are, but it has become clear to me which way I want to go in my working life. By keeping the conversations very open but always guiding me the right way in these conversations, a lot has become clear to me about myself as a person and an individual. Thanks Robert!

I needed a coach who could empathize with my personal situation and actually help. It soon turned out that Robert had these qualities at his disposal to quickly achieve the point of return with me with an appropriate approach. In the last phase Robert helped with a hands-on approach to a heavy selection procedure, which resulted in a new challenging job.

Robert helped me formulate new goals for my company, and ensured that they were implemented. By listening carefully Robert has also come up with new insights, about my work and my functioning in it. In addition, it’s nice to talk to Robert, we laughed a lot and that is also important!
