my story in a timeline

eve consulting was born in 2020 from a decade of learning and work experience in happiness-, people- and project “management”. Combined with my interest in coaching as a profession, which gives me lots of freedom and space for expressing my creativity, and a lifelong passion for simply loving to see people “in their happy place”, eve consulting is here - for you.
My personal motto is: let’s grow together.
There is always an exchange, when people meet. A possibility to learn and make a step forward. My mission follows from that: let’s make these encounters empowering, enriching, and positive.

To what extent can people be managed, was and is often my question.
Rather than managing (meaning “to be in control of something” / or “in charge” ), I always have preferred to not define my work or tasks with managing, certainly when it’s about people and their happiness, their (mental or physical) health, their career path or decisions. I rather use the word “guiding”. Because all is already there. And I really have grown to believe that one thing, we can’t really learn - but we have it or we don’t. Which is a certain (intrinsic) motivation. Coming from a certain world perspective. These are our values.

This is a theme I have learned much about in the past few years, and where I have an enormous curiosity. I will make you more aware in a coaching trajectory, what your motivation is. Together, we will find out.

I will ask lots of questions: why is it you are doing this? Why is this making you happy? Or sad? Or angry? Or super excited?
And what can we do to change our ways, when we need to or want to be better?

My take on work is that it is a part of life. I do not believe in work-life balance, or that the two are separate.
I strongly believe, we should change the way we look at that.

My coaching approach is a holistic one.
This means, bypassing work-, personal-, love- or family life.
You are one being, and you certainly have different shades of you.
But you are one being. And that being, goes everywhere with you.

My goal is to help you acknowledge your unique personality, and its characteristics, talents and pitfalls, in which ever role in life you are at that moment. Be it “at work”, or “at home”, in your relationships with others, or (and let’s start there!) with yourself.
