Kees van Weele, online coaching: 'I Liked Leni’s open-minded, sympathetic approach. No warning finger, no incomprehension because I am a non-conformist. The e-mail exchange clarified traits and attitudes I was actually aware of, but did not pay much attention to.'
Paul Piebinga, Online Coaching route: ‘Fast, direct and to the point. Leni’s online coaching brought me clarity within two weeks. For me, the daily exchange of e-mails and pondering my answers was the ideal way to collect my thoughts, recognize impediments en deal with them pragmatically.’
Woman, age 45, The Hague: ‘Leni is vey empathic, nothing surprises her, and she listens very well to you. The talks about recognizing negative thoughts and transforming them into positive thoughts, taking small steps, looking at my plans not only from a pragmatic, but also from a personal point of view, and the discussion of my personal values were of great use to me.’
Woman, age 28, Leiden: ‘I gained a lot of self-knowledge during the talks, especially by her way of asking probing questions. That was very helpful to me, both for my specific coaching question and for my personal well-being.
Woman, age 54, Leiden: ‘Leni is a good listener, and I really feel she understands me. What I particularly liked was that we could change locations and talk in the open air.’
Woman, age 52, Leiden: ‘Leni distilled two important tasks from my story: gaining insight and boosting my self-confidence. During the talks with her, a thread became visible in my career. In that way, I could manage to think outside of the box I had created for myself. We only had three talks, but they were illuminating and helpful in my quest for what I want in my job-life.’
Man, age 36, Online Coaching route: ‘The questions of the coach have helped me to get a picture of the things I want and about the person who I am. Things have become clearer to me, and I feel better. You discover that you already know the answers, but you are not yet aware of them. By asking the right questions, she brings the answers to light in a funny way. And you can reread the e-mails you have exchanged. The structure of the Online Coaching Programme worked out well for me, and I always got a quick response. In my view, the duration of a route depends on the openness of the client. What also worked out well for me is that I could e-mail in the evenings, so I could do the route despite my hectic work situation.’
Leonie van Rijn, Online Coaching route: ‘My own business started well, but I got stuck after one and a half year and asked myself questions such as: ‘What do I want to achieve with my business?’ ‘Which are my real talents and what can I offer to my customers?’
During the Online Coaching route I did with Leni Minderhoud, I have formed an image of the things I stand for, the things I want to achieve and the things I will have to work at. Online Coaching proved to be a suitable approach for me: you are at it almost every day, and so it is an intensive route. Leni helps you to see the connections between past and present and helps you to remove impediments.’
