ir partners to feel at home during the critical settling in period and stay in the Netherlands (or elsewhere in the world).

Coaching & Counseling helps to empower expat women to have a fulfilled life during their stay in the Netherlands as well when returning to their home country. As a result of the program they will experience their live in the Netherlands as an exciting adventure full of opportunities rather than a hurdle that one has to overcome. Better understand the cultural differences between the Dutch culture and her own culture and how the Dutch culture works in practice. The company provides support for international women in the following areas: expatriation coaching, life & career coaching, counseling, workshops.

Do you remember the time you started a new role?
That mix of excitement, pressure, and the voice in your head whispering: “I need to prove myself—fast.”

I talk about this moment with so many of my clients—right after they finally land the job they’ve been working so hard for.
And almost every time, the same question comes up: “Now what?”

Here’s what I tell them:
Don’t rush to impress.
Start by listening.

Because you only get one chance to observe without judgment.
👉 To notice the dynamics.
👉To understand the culture.
👉To build trust and align with what really matters.

That’s why I created a 90-day plan—to guide this crucial transition.

No overwhelm. No guesswork.

Just clear, thoughtful steps to help you listen deeply, lead wisely, and show up in a way that feels true to you.

Whether you’re on Day 1 or already halfway in—there’s something in it for you.

DM me and I’ll send it your way.

🧠 We all know we don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.

The first 90 days aren’t just a warm-up.
They set the tone for everything that follows.

But here’s the thing most people get wrong —
They jump straight into ex*****on.

✅ Taking over projects
✅ Saying yes to everything
✅ Trying to prove themselves fast

Sounds familiar?

What you should be doing instead is taking a beat to observe, listen, and learn.

Because if you’re too quick to act, you risk anchoring to the wrong assumptions — and that’s a hard course to correct.

This post is your reminder that the smartest people in the room are often the ones asking the best questions.

If you're stepping into a new role soon (or leading someone who is), take a moment to reflect on these common missteps — they’re more common than you think.

Have you made these mistakes in the past?

Let me know in the comments 👇🏻

10/04/2025

Are you starting a new role soon?
Hold up—before you hit the ground running, let’s make sure you know where you’re running and why you’re running there.

Your first 30 days?
They’re not about proving yourself.
They’re about orienting yourself—so you can lead with intention, not just action.

This isn’t your standard onboarding checklist.
It’s a thinking tool. A gentle prompt to pause, reflect, and step in with clarity, confidence, and power.

Use this P.O.W.E.R. lens to guide your first month:

P — Purpose
✨ What is your role really about? Beyond the job description—what kind of impact are you here to create?

O — Outcomes
🎯 What’s expected of you—in the next 30, 60, 90 days and beyond? What are the spoken (and unspoken) goals?

W — Who
🤝 Who holds knowledge, context, influence? Who can stretch you, support you, open doors?

E — Energy
⚡ Where’s the energy rising—or draining? Where’s momentum building, and where does the team feel stuck?

R — Reflection
🌀 What’s your take so far? What’s surprising you, exciting you, challenging you?

Too many people fall into the trap of doing too much, too fast.
But real leadership starts with listening, sensing, aligning.

Feel like mapping out your 60- or 90-day plan too?
Send me a quick DM—I’ve got a tool for that too.

Ever walked into a networking event and felt completely out of place?

Maybe you’re standing there, clutching a drink, wondering how everyone else seems to just get it—effortlessly making connections while you’re stuck overthinking your next move.

The truth? Networking isn't just about "putting yourself out there." It's about overcoming the barriers that hold you back in the first place.

💭 Is it the fear of rejection?
💭 Not knowing what to say?
💭 Feeling like you're taking without giving?

The struggle is real. But so is the solution.

🚀 This carousel breaks down the biggest barriers to networking—and how to move past them. Because once you do, you’ll realize that networking isn’t about forcing conversations. It’s about creating real opportunities.

05/04/2025

Ever had a great networking conversation… and then let it fade into oblivion?

The magic of networking isn’t just in the first meeting—it’s in the follow-up. But most people either overdo it or don’t do it at all.

Here’s the secret: Following up isn’t about pushing. It’s about continuing the conversation.

👉 Reference something from your last chat—it shows you were engaged.
👉 Provide value instead of just asking for something.
👉 Don’t panic if they don’t reply immediately. People are busy.

Strong networks aren’t built overnight. They grow through consistent, meaningful interactions. So, who’s one person you need to follow up with today? 🚀

03/04/2025

For some, networking feels natural—walking into a room, striking up conversations, and making connections with ease.

For others, it's exhausting.

If small talk drains you, group settings feel chaotic, or unspoken social rules seem confusing, you’re not alone. Many neurodivergent thinkers experience this too.

The good news? You don’t have to force yourself into a mold. You can network on your own terms.

Instead of trying to be "more outgoing," focus on what works for you:
💡 Writing instead of talking (emails, LinkedIn messages)
💡 One-on-one chats instead of big groups
💡 Planning your approach ahead of time

Networking isn’t just for extroverts. It’s for anyone willing to build connections—in a way that feels right for them.

What’s your go-to networking strategy? Let’s discuss in the comments! 👇

31/03/2025

That polished LinkedIn connection request?
The confident introduction at an event?

Let’s be honest—there was probably a moment of hesitation right before you hit send or stepped forward.

The difference?
You felt the fear… and did it anyway.

We assume great networkers are fearless. That they never worry about sounding awkward or being ignored. But the truth is, even they battle:

🥵Fear of rejection
🎭 Imposter syndrome
😫 Feeling like a burden

Confidence isn’t about never feeling doubt. It’s about acting despite it.

So, the next time you hesitate before sending that message or introducing yourself, remind yourself:
💡 Most people are happy to connect.
💡 Your perspective has value.
💡 A simple conversation could open unexpected doors.

Would love to hear—what’s held you back from networking in the past? Drop it in the comments! 👇

28/03/2025

I used to dread networking events. I felt like I had to ‘sell’ something—my skills, my expertise, my worth. The pressure to impress made every conversation feel forced and transactional.

But over time, I learned that authentic networking isn’t a tactic—it’s a mindset.

It’s not about perfect pitches or rehearsed answers.
It’s about showing up as your true self, being curious, and having conversations that feel real, not forced.

Here’s what I remind myself every time I connect with someone new:
👉 Am I listening more than I’m speaking?
👉 Am I being genuinely curious?
👉 Am I showing up as ME, not just as a ‘role’ or ‘title’?

When you let go of the pressure to impress, you start to build relationships that actually matter.

26/03/2025

💬 Ever left a conversation feeling like you networked but didn’t connect?

Here’s the secret: better questions = deeper conversations.

Too often, we jump straight into “What do you do?” or “Where do you work?” — and miss the chance to actually connect with the person behind the title.

Instead, try asking questions that spark stories, reflect curiosity, and open space for authentic exchange.

👇 Here are some of my go-to conversation starters that help you move beyond surface-level networking and into real connection.

✨ Save this for your next coffee chat, event, or even a DM on LinkedIn

What’s a question that’s helped you build meaningful relationships?

Share it in the comments!

19/03/2025

❌ “Can I pick your brain?”
❌ “Hope you're well — can you refer me to a job?”

Let’s be honest — most of us were never taught how to network well. And especially not with strangers online.

The result? Awkward messages, ghosted chats, transactional small talk.

But networking doesn’t have to feel like something sleasy and transactional.

✅ It can feel human. Curious. Generous. Easy.

A lot of people I talk to struggle with networking and yet this is THE most powerful tool you have when looking for a job, arriving in a new country or developing / changing uour career.

So I turned I developed this Step-by-Step Networking Guide 👇

Slide through if you’ve ever wondered:

❓What should I say when reaching out?
❓How do I network without sounding salesy?
❓What if I’m introverted or neurodivergent?
❓How do I build real connections online?

Save it. Share it. And let me know — which step felt most helpful? 😊

I often tell my clients: If the door doesn’t open, try the window.

Career transitions don’t always follow a clear path. Sometimes, the opportunity you want isn’t available through the usual routes—so you have to find another way in.

I’ve seen this happen time and time again. The ‘perfect’ next step wasn’t always available—so my clients made their own opportunities:

🪟 From Temporary to Permanent
One client took on a maternity cover contract, knowing it wasn’t a long-term role. But instead of treating it as a stopgap, they gave it their all, built strong relationships, and proved their value. By the time the contract ended, the company couldn’t imagine letting them go—and they got hired full-time.

🪟 From Side Projects to a Full-Time Job
Another client moved to the Netherlands before securing a full-time role. Instead of waiting, they took on freelance and side projects to build experience in the local market. Those projects not only helped financially but also expanded their network—soon, a full-time opportunity followed.

🪟 Turning an Internal Move into a Relocation
A client wanted to move to the Netherlands but wasn’t sure how to make it happen. Instead of applying externally, they took the initiative to explore an internal relocation. Their proactive approach paid off, and they transitioned smoothly into a new role and a new country. And later on also to a new company.

Sometimes, the best opportunities don’t come through a job posting. They come from bold moves, creative problem-solving, and being open to other ways in.

Have you ever found a career opportunity in an unexpected way? I’d love to hear your story!

Not all career transitions are created equal. Some feel like a smooth escalator ride—effortless and straightforward. Although never seen one myself 🙈. Others? More like climbing a mountain in the dark, wondering if you’re even on the right trail. 🌄

From working with so many career changers, I’ve seen these five factors make all the difference—plus, here’s what you can do to navigate them:

🚀 1. Transferable Skills & Industry Fit

The more your existing skills align with your new role, the smoother the transition.
✅ Quick tip: Identify skills that overlap with your target job. Update your CV and LinkedIn to highlight them, using industry-specific language.

🚀 2. Learning Curve

Some career shifts require upskilling.
✅ Quick tip: Research if you need new qualifications. Can you take an online course? Get a mentor? Gain hands-on experience through volunteering or a side project?

🚀 3. Network & Support System

Knowing the right people can fast-track your move.
✅ Quick tip: Don’t wait until you need a job—start networking now. Join industry groups, connect with professionals on LinkedIn, and attend events.

🚀 4. Market Demand

Some industries are talent-hungry, while others are highly competitive.
✅ Quick tip: Before making a move, research hiring trends in your target field. Are companies struggling to fill roles? Or is it an industry where competition is fierce?

🚀 5. Mindset & Resilience

This is the biggest factor. Career change will test your patience, confidence, and adaptability.
✅ Quick tip: Expect setbacks, but don’t let them define your journey. Keep your vision clear, track small wins, and surround yourself with people who support your goals.

🔥 My advice? If your transition feels overwhelming, break it down. Take smaller steps—side projects, upskilling, networking—before making the full leap.

Making a career jump? Your support system can make or break it 💥

Career transitions can feel lonely. Doubt creeps in, finances are tight, and imposter syndrome lurks. But here’s the thing—you don’t have to do it alone.

✅ Build a circle of supporters. Find people who uplift you—mentors, friends, or even LinkedIn connections who've made similar leaps.

✅ Be mindful of early-stage critics. Not everyone will understand your move, and that’s okay. Share your plans selectively while you build confidence.

✅ Identify gatekeepers. Whether it’s recruiters, industry insiders, or key decision-makers, knowing who holds the door to your next step is crucial.

✅ Learn to filter feedback. Negative opinions aren’t always insights—they can be reflections of others’ fears. Take what serves you, ignore the rest.

You are the driver of your career, but the right support system ensures you don’t crash along the way.

Who has been your biggest supporter during a career transition? 👇

Thinking about a career transition but feeling overwhelmed by doubts? I’ve been there. And so have so many of my clients.

From “What if I fail?” to “How do I even explain this to recruiters?”—these fears are completely normal.

But here’s what I’ve learned: every career move starts with the right mindset and a solid strategy.

🚀 I put together a carousel that breaks down the most common career transition FAQs—along with clear answers to help you navigate the uncertainty.

✨ Whether you’re switching industries, going freelance, or starting fresh, the unknown can feel scary. But the right information makes all the difference.

Feeling stuck in your career transition? I get it—I’ve been there too, and so have many of my clients. Let me share the mindset shifts that can change everything.

Career moves aren’t just about updating your resume, networking, or learning new skills.

The truth is, the most important part of any career transition is what happens in your mind 🤯and where you choose to focus your energy. 🔎

Let’s be honest: career transitions can get messy. I’ve seen it time and time again—uncertainty, self-doubt, and unexpected twists can easily throw you off track.

But here’s what I’ve learned, both from my own experience and from working with countless clients: the key isn’t trying to control every outcome. It’s about focusing on what you can control—your mindset—and letting that confidence guide your next step.

✅ Your actions and effort: Keep learning, applying, and showing up. Progress isn’t always linear.
✅ Self-compassion: Transitioning takes time, and setbacks are part of the process. Don’t be too hard on yourself.
✅ A positive mindset: Discomfort means growth. If you feel uneasy, you’re probably on the right track.
✅ Creative problem-solving: If doors don’t open, try windows. Explore side projects, freelancing, or alternative paths.
✅ Small steps matter: A full career switch isn’t always necessary. Small shifts—new skills, projects, or roles—can create big changes over time.

Not every career transition has to be a giant leap.

Sometimes, it’s a series of well-placed steps in the right direction. 🚶🏻‍♂️🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻

What’s one mindset shift that helped you navigate a career change? Share below! 👇

Feeling stuck between two career paths? 🤔

One is exciting but hard to break into. The other is easier but doesn’t spark enthusiasm. So, what do you choose?

Every career transition comes with two key factors:
✔ Transition Difficulty – How easy or hard is it to move from your current role to the new one?
✔ Enthusiasm Level – How passionate are you about the new path?

Most career changers fall into one of these categories:
🔹 Easy Transition, Low Enthusiasm – A safe move, but will it keep you engaged long-term?

🔹 Hard Transition, High Enthusiasm – Challenging, but could be the most fulfilling.

🔹 Hard Transition, Low Enthusiasm – A red flag 🚩—if it’s tough and uninspiring, why pursue it?

🔹 Easy Transition, High Enthusiasm – The dream scenario! (But let’s be honest, this happens in

Standing at a crossroads in your career, wondering if it’s too late to make a change?

The truth is, your career is not a straight line—it’s a journey of growth, discovery, and reinvention.

💡 Here’s the thing:
Career transitions aren’t just about changing jobs—they’re about becoming the person you were meant to be. It’s about aligning your work with your purpose, your talents, and your dreams.

A senior marketing manager leave corporate life to run a hotel in Egypt.

These stories aren’t just about career changes—they’re about courage, resilience, and the belief that it’s never too late to rewrite your story…
