Leadership

Do you also dream of better leadership? Do you want to develop your leadership qualities and get to know different leadership styles?

Leaders do not need to be convinced that improvement and change are crucial. Leaders today know how difficult it is to achieve sustainable change. Not only is it very difficult, we still don't know why it is so difficult and what we can do about it.

Our world needs the right leaders now more than ever. Especially in this era where there is so much at stake, not only in organisations and corporations, but also in the world.

For me leadership means taking responsibility in the world, in a passionate and selfless way.

We still often have this classic concept of the leader – whether political, religious or corporate – of being someone who stands in the front, and addresses and steers his or her troops with authority. This is only one form of leadership. You are just as much a leader when you support a group from behind or from the side, so this group can do what it needs to do (similar to the coach of a football team). Even when you are a team member you show leadership when you fully and unconditionally support the leadership of the person up front. You also take up leadership when you feel what is needed in your world and you take action, by yourself or with others.


A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves ~ Lao Tzu


Coaching of leadership qualities

Leadership development to me is about developing or broadening your mindset and not so much about gaining all kinds of leadership skills. Real development is about transforming the operating system, and not just expanding the knowledge base or behavioural patterns. Only then sustainable  change can happen. 


I am a certified Leadership Circle Profile coach. The Leadership Circle Profile™ (LCP)* is unique among the 360 degree tools that measure leadership. It shows the relationship between behavioural patterns and internal assumptions that drive behaviour. This gives you insight into the levers for change. CLP visualizes this information in a clear, original and accessible way.

The Leadership Circle Profile is ontwikkeld op basis van grondig onderzoek en integreert veel van de beste kaders over leiderschap, ontwikkeling bij volwassenen, psychologische en spirituele ontwikkeling.

The Leadership Circle Profile has been developed based on thorough research and integrates many of the best frameworks on leadership, adult development, psychological and spiritual development.

In coaching it is an integrated framework to guide the person towards more effective and performant leadership. For these types of coaching journeys I am also inspired by the work of the Arbinger Institute (The Outward Mindset, Leadership & Self-Deception, The Anatomy of Peace) and by the 'Immunity to Change' model of Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey.

During a more difficult period in at work, the coaching process with Anne has significantly helped me to turn a number of disappointments and missed opportunities into new opportunities and possibilities. Especially the 'immunity to change' model, in which a number of deep-rooted assumptions were exposed that prevented me from learning new things and behaviour and realizing changes in my professional life, has been a real eye opener for me.

The coaching not only taught me a lot about myself. Thanks to our fascinating conversations, which very often ended with additional tips and suggestions from Anne to useful websites and further reading, I was also introduced to a number of interesting models and visions about social trends and tendencies that I will certainly be able to use in my job

Journey leadership & leadership styles 

You are leading a group or team and you really feel at home there. And yet, as a leader, you often come up against your limits: growing complexity, internal system getting bogged down, etc.

Your thoughts keep going round in circles and you see no progress despite all the steps you take. You may be reading a lot about this or taking certain courses - for example, to learn how to delegate or to learn how to meditate so you can "let go" - and yet those insights don't really seem to help to move that system of yours.

I have good news for you! There is indeed a way to unblock your system so that your leadership becomes effortless once again. The Leadership Journey 'Dancing with complexity and chaos' has been designed with this in mind. 

During this journey, I will accompany you during five months. Together we will explore every corner of your unique system and discover your hidden qualities.
We shine our light on the inevitable blind spots by asking feedback from a diverse group of people who have a good view on you and how you stand in your leadership

I let you experience that not only your thinking brain but also your gut and your heart can give you unexpected information. You will not only be able to describe your change goal rationally, but you will also be able to feel it in every fibre of your being. You will get a very haunting look at how you have made yourself immune to the change you so desire 

I am by your side, your compass, your biggest supporter. If it helps, I will challenge you to get out of that often uncomfortable comfort zone so that you take action. Very important: you will choose your actions and you will always be the captain at the helm of your journey.

Who am I?

I am Anne, soulful inspirator of Momentum Coaching and I coach and accompany people in their search towards the realisation of their dreams. 

I feel energized from doing the things that matter. From thoroughness and soundness. And from taking inspired action to realize this. I also feel  tremendously fulfilled when my work is meaningful to others and when I experience leverage. 

I chose the name Momentum for my company,
the moment that can tip the balance

Together with my clients, I like to explore the heart of the matter, for where sustainable change can be initiated. Over the years I have experienced that real transformation does not happen in the purely mental arena. It happens when you go out of your comfort zone to have new experiences, to feel the accompanying emotions and to experience things 'at first hand'.

Realizing that an organization cannot perform at a higher level than the level of consciousness of its leaders, I like to focus on leadership development, both individually and with teams.

I look forward to getting to the heart of your matter together!

P.S. I wrote a blog article 'Lessons taught by wild geese'. These animals can teach us one or more things about leadership
