Hi, I’m Katrijn
WHY CREATIVES?
There's nothing I love more than working with creative freelancers and entrepreneurs. Your boundless passion for your work and unwavering drive never fails to amaze me.
MY GREATEST ADDED VALUE
I bring a unique approach to productivity - for me, it's not about working harder but working smarter. I believe in taking the time to do things right, so you can lose yourself in the challenge and grow into the best version of yourself.
As an art lover, certified coach, and project management expert, I'm equipped to help you achieve your goals with precision and skill. My planning skills are top-notch, and I'm ready to use them to support you every step of the way. Together, we'll create something magical and energizing.
A BUSINESS COACH
With a Bachelor's in social-cultural studies and a Master's in public management, I've got the academic chops to back up my expertise as a certified solution-focused coach and project manager (Check my CV). But I'm not just about theory - I'm here to help you turn your ideas into action. As your sparring partner, I'll challenge you to think critically and provide constructive feedback with a touch of tough love. I'm not a person who is only about ventilating your ideas. I'm all about making things happen and turning those ideas into action. Get ready to roll up your sleeves!
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Curiosity by nature with learning as a passion, I'm always seeking new opportunities to grow and develop. That's why I make a point to take at least one course every year and work with a personal coach (delta coaching). With every new skill I acquire, I become a better coach and a more valuable partner for my clients.
THE POWER OF CHOICE
In 2018 I had an inflammation of my brain. This experience has shown me that while some circumstances are beyond our control, we still have the power to shape our own lives and find our own paths. I have learned that my strongest muscle is resilience. We often think we have no choice. But we do. Every morning when I wake up, I am happy to be alive. Happy with my choice to make a difference. Read the full story here.
I support creatives’ values
1 ➖BE YOURSELF
Everyone should feel welcome when interacting with me. I try to create a safe space where everyone is allowed to be themselves. As your coach, I'll always keep it real with you and give you my unbiased feedback (No sugarcoating here!). With diverse interests in different artistic fields and open-mindedness, I am eager to immerse myself completely in your creative world and reach your full potential.
2 ➖ LIFE-CHANGING IMPACT
Trust is at the core of my coaching philosophy. As we work together, we'll build a strong connection that goes beyond just a professional relationship. My ultimate goal? Is to transform as many creative businesses as possible. I want them to become stronger, have more purchasing power, be more confident, and grow in what they love doing most. By doing this, I want to create a ripple effect that changes the entire industry.
3 ➖FEEL FREE
I believe in empowering my clients to schedule sessions that work with their busy lives and artistic visions. And for myself, I cherish the ability to break free and explore the world, gaining new insights and creative inspiration. It's during these moments of exploration that I learn the most and generate fresh ideas.
That's why I've crafted a lifestyle as a serial digital nomad, enabling me to support creatives from wherever I may be. I take trips throughout the year, always available to my clients regardless of my location. It's all about embracing the freedom to pursue my passions and helping others do the same, no matter where the journey takes me 😊. I’ve been to Berlin twice, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Toronto and Helsinki. I always make it a point to free up some time to soak in the vibrant creativity of the local art scene and meet with local artists.
