Sports Leadership

Live a little.

I have a focus on leadership development, inclusion, gender equality and empowerment. I develop curricula, act as examiner and leadership coach during outdoor expeditions, and I am responsible for quality assurance as board member.

Additionally, with ECWO I facilitate workshops on social safety in the workplace for organisations. In September ’22 I will become a part-time PhD candidate at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University; focusing on gender balanced leadership development.

I have been fortunate to travel all 7 continents, breaking some barriers as solo female traveler. Always looking for outdoor adventures, new experiences and stretch my comfort zone. As a sports leadership professional I work in the outdoor industry and higher and executive education and conduct scientific research. Diversity in my works keeps me motivated and on a continuous learning path.

TO LEAD IS TO DEVELOP

Consultancy

I advise sports organisations in making their policies, activities, marketing and communication and recruitment inclusive. I encourage diversity and support in strategic thinking.

Education & Training

I am affiliated as higher education teacher in several Dutch institutions on topics related to Sports Management, Sports Development and Research skills.

Besides that I provide specialised workshops for (sports) organisations to work on creating a culture of care, and discuss how to deal with and prevent workplace harassment.
On behalf of Erasmus Centre for Women and Organisations I also provide executive education workshops in the field of female leadership.

Outdoor Leadership Coach

I am a leadership development coach during outdoor expedities in Europe. Going with a group of leaders from all ranges of business, into the remote outdoors, with only a backpack with the necessities. Moving along tracks surrounded by the force of nature, create the excellent environment to work on personal leadership challenges. Out of the comfort zone is where the learning starts.

Project Management & Marketing

I have multiple years experience in project management. In particular sport events and academic conferences, student coaching and online marketing strategies, in an European and/or academic setting, which can be of value for your organisation.

Leaders develop.
