‘no mincing of words’
 

Welcome

The strength of any organisation lies in its capacity to enable its people to fulfil their potential. Building effective diverse teams - the paradox of cohesiveness formed from different perspectives and values- leads to enhanced performance. It unleashes joy in the process, an important catalyst for further growth.

Today's working environment is continuously in a state of flux. This requires flexibility, creativity, focus and responsibility from people, a combination that stimulates agility on one hand, but creates tensions on the other. Tapping into the breadth of an organisation's talent pool is key to dealing with these multi-layered demands - and ultimately creates opportunities for growth. 

Developing a collaborative team culture is an exciting venture, first identifying talents, then empowering people to act. Like any journey of discovery, it takes energy and courage, but also involves uncertainty and ambiguity. Dealing with these unknowns is part of creating a growth culture. You can see it as a two-stage process: exploring talent and devising strategies to put talents to effective use. A valuable process for every organisation and management team.

Working together in this kind of explorative way brings out the best in everyone. It builds team unity, reinforces engagement and ensures loyalty.

Cultivating and facilitating growth is a balancing act for any leader, manager or entrepreneur - a balancing act between people and tasks, and between thought and action. There will be teething troubles along the way, eventually leading to the ultimate outcome: greater flexibility and innovation, and - above all - greater enjoyment. The elements needed for success - both now and in the future.

Zeevenhooven Advies can support you on your growth journey.

Growing your organisation by letting your people grow.

We're up for joining you in the challenge.

Manager Corporate & Marketing Communications

A couple of years ago, I called on Huib's coaching skills to help give me a head start in my new job as marketing manager. In practice, a coach often gets called in when you've hit a roadblock, but I wanted to use coaching as a 'preventive' approach - to explore how to best deploy my communication skills, my energy and my strengths.

'Am I on the right track? How can I make optimal use of my strengths in my job? Which leadership-managerial style suits me best?' These were the questions I wanted to investigate.

I think Huib is particularly good as a coach because he cares so much and allows himself to get involved in the process. At the same time, he gives plenty of space and scope to his coachee's. He's quick to identify the 'sensitive spots' and has an energy and a drive that propels you to get right to the core. This drive makes his programmes very efficient; by that, I mean that you can quickly see tangible results in the workplace.

About Huib

Huib is an associative thinker with authentic self-expression. His combination of experience, background and lifestyle makes him an ideal coach and adviser to executives and management teams. He starts by laying a foundation of connection and trust, so participants are willing to partake in his somewhat confrontational approach as he holds up a non-judgemental mirror to his coachee.
