Hi! I’m Florentine, I coach (former) expats in achieving their goals in career, relationships, self-confidence and well-being.
About me
In 2024, I founded Catalyst Coaching. Before that, I worked for many years as a project manager in various public and private organizations. In late 2022, I decided to change course and go for what makes me most happy and what always energized me. Making others see that they can always take control, at work and in their lives!
What qualifies me to help people with their lives? Is a combination of solid education, experience, and a deep passion for personal development. I graduated from NONONS (cum laude :-)) as a certified coach and from the ADR Institute as a Mediator, in addition I have successfully coached numerous people, both professionally and personally. The most important learning, however, is that I have learned from my own experience that change is possible.
As the child of an expat family, I had taught myself to always adapt to new situations. As an adult, I had less success with this tactic. I was constantly pleading and choosing the safe way. I developed vague physical symptoms and stuck in thoughts that were holding me back. I came to a point of no return: I quit my job and started working on myself. Successfully, my mindset changed. I created a life that suited me better. Full of possibilities that I explore with energy and confidence, despite regular short nights due to my three small children!
“I guide people to become who they are. So why not you?”
“I guide people to become who they are. So why not you?”
Develop your personality into the one you really want to be. Someone you are proud of. Someone who confidently keeps challenging themselves, is valuable to others and makes a meaningful contribution to the world with their talents.Especially for (former) expats, I guide you through the unique challenges of an international life.
