Welcome!

Are you an expat woman working in the Netherlands? Or are you a woman working in an international organization? Woman What’s Up offers coaching for specific issues you may struggle with: dealing with the Dutch, bridging (cultural) differences, balancing work-life, confronting with respect, daring to speak out and lead in a way that feels true to you.

I coach, I give workshops and make vlogs to support and inspire female professionals in international settings. To bring out the best of you!

Why

I was 7 when I moved from Australia to the Netherlands. Everything looked different; I was the odd one out. I observed and adapted. It took me a long time to believe I had something worthy to say. Acting opened me up. It helped me to understand human nature, not in the least my own. The method of Respectful Confrontation taught me to speak out, and be resilient to other people’s needs, without harming myself. I know how to bridge differences. I make a difference now.

You can do that too. I believe in the added value of the female perspective. We can bring about positive change based on values of human kindness: equality, lasting peace and sustainability for all living creatures on this planet. All we have to do is stand up, speak out and lead.

Approach

In my work I use acting techniques and Respectful Confrontation, of which I’m a certified trainer. The physical experience of the exercises bring a deeper understanding of yourself in relation to others. I link the physical experience to practical communication and behaviour. I work in both English and Dutch.
