calendly.com/dklopsowinska/45minpowercoaching Coaching & Counseling is to support international women in the following areas: expatriation coaching, life & career coaching, counseling, workshops. My company assist international companies by helping their expat employees and the

ir partners to feel at home during the critical settling in period and stay in the Netherlands (or elsewhere in the world). Stress resulting from a long lasting feeling of dissatisfaction of the partner can have a negative effect on the whole family and on the expat employee in particular leading to less efficiency at work and in some cases to the early termination of the international assignment, or even break-up of the family. How can my company help? Through the program “Making Holland Your Second Home” DoSo! 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.

Ever feel like you're one step away from being "found out"?

You’re not alone. Imposter Syndrome can creep into the minds of even the most accomplished professionals, convincing us that we don’t truly deserve our success

Here’s the thing: acknowledging the signs is the first step to breaking free from its grip.

💬 If any of these hit close to home, pause for a moment.

Reflect on the evidence of your success—the hard work, the late nights, the skills you’ve honed. These are yours, not luck’s

💡 A reframe to try: What if you stopped asking, "Am I good enough?" and started asking, "What can I learn from this moment?"

✨ Imposter Syndrome doesn’t define you. Your growth, resilience, and willingness to show up do.

How do you tackle self-doubt when it creeps in?

Are you actively looking for a job in the Netherlands?

If so, do you have a clear job search strategy? For many expats, the job-hunting process in a new country can be overwhelming. But with the right strategy, the process becomes much easier.

One question that often comes up is:

Should I use recruitment agencies to help with my job search?

And what's the best way to go about it?

Today, I’ll answer some of the most commonly asked questions about working with recruitment agencies

Let me know if you have any more questions 👇🏻

⚠️⚠️ Note that using AI, to help you with your job search, is a back-and-forth process, and it often doesn't stop with the first answers you get from ChatGPT.

⚠️ Make sure that you do not, by any means, copy paste the AI-generated cover letter on its own into your job application. You can instead ask AI to review your already-written cover letter to correct grammar and spelling mistakes.

At the end of the day, remember that AI is a powerful tool but you remain the master of it.

Despite this, there are endless possibilities as to what AI can do for you not only in your daily life, but also during the job search process.

Good luck with your job search and let us know in the comments how you use AI in your life!

Do you live the life that makes you happy?

Do you use your potential to the maximum?

If you don’t know the answer to these, coaching can help make it clear what your real goals in life are 🎯

It also helps you find a way to meet your goals 🛣️

Coaching is a partnership between coachee and coach. It is a method of guiding a person or group of people, with the aim to achieve a desired goal or develop specific skills both in private and professional life. 🤝

No one knows us better than ourselves but we are also often unaware of the motives of our behavior. Sometimes, even if we know what we want for one reason or another we cannot achieve it. Through asking questions coaching helps you to lit the light on the parts of yourself you can be unconscious about.

There are various techniques and methods used in coaching. The approach used at DoSo! is called the integrative approach. It means that the person, not a technique or a method, stands in the spotlight.

And finally, coaching is not about giving you the best advise.

Coaching is about asking questions so that you can find your own way in whatever you do that brings you joy and fulfillment.

To me, being confident is intrinsically tied to the ability to express yourself freely and positively. One of the most sought-after skills by my clients is confident communication, and for a good reason.

When you communicate confidently, you are more persuasive, respected, and effective. But why exactly are these skills so important?

Confident communication is not just about getting your point across. It helps you connect, build relationships, and ultimately succeed in your professional and personal life. Here’s why confident communication matters:

Effective communication even in the face of differing opinions or interests.

Credibility: Confidence in your communication helps you gain trust and respect.

Stronger relationships: Both personally and professionally, people are drawn to confident communicators.

Better negotiation skills: This can lead to higher salaries, promotions, and successful deals.

Increased influence: You’re more likely to persuade and lead others when you communicate confidently.

Career and personal success: Confident communication is foundational to long-term success.

Mastering confident communication starts with understanding its core components.

In a world that often celebrates the polished highlights, what truly stands out?

Authenticity. It’s the one thing no one else can replicate, and it’s the core of a powerful personal brand ❤️‍🔥

I don’t always feel comfortable showing my vulnerable side—it’s not easy to let those walls down. But I’m learning to embrace it, step by step, because vulnerability often creates the strongest connections.

This is exactly what a powerful brand voice does—it doesn’t try to be perfect. Instead, it shows up authentically, flaws and all, creating real connections with the people who matter most. After all, it’s the honest, imperfect stories that people remember.

When building your brand, start by getting real about your unique story, strengths, and yes, even the imperfections. Being genuine not only connects you to others but also strengthens how you see yourself. Your quirks, your values, and the journey you’re on — all of it adds depth and honesty to your brand.

So, ask yourself: what makes your journey unique? What imperfections tell your story better? Start building a brand that reflects the real you. 🫵🏻

Need a small nudge in doing so, send me a DM and we can chat!

🎙️ Your brand voice isn’t just what you say—it’s how your audience feels when they experience your personality and values.

Building a memorable brand voice takes time, but it all starts with these 5 key ingredients:

✨ Consistency – Are you sounding the same across social media, emails, and presentations?
💡 Authenticity – Does your tone reflect who you really are?
🔍 Clarity – Can people understand your message instantly?
❤️ Emotional Connection – Are you speaking in a way that resonates with your audience’s challenges, dreams, or values?
🌐 Adaptability – Can your voice adjust for different platforms or audiences while staying true to your brand?

When these elements align, your brand becomes recognizable and relatable—across every touchpoint.

💬 Pro tip: Imagine your brand voice as a person. Would they come across as warm and inspiring? Confident and assertive? Playful and witty? Rational and polished?

Think about how they’d speak, write, and engage with others.

Your voice is your brand in action—it’s what builds trust, connection, and loyalty with your audience.

Building a personal brand starts with knowing what makes you tick

What Defines You?

Focus on these to being with:

1️⃣ Values
Think about the core values that make you feel fulfilled and happy in life and work. What’s non-negotiable for you?

2️⃣ Traits & Quirks
What unique habits or traits make you, you? Maybe it’s starting every meeting with a joke or a knack for being ultra-process-oriented. These small things add real personality to your brand!

3️⃣ Talents & Skills
What natural strengths set you apart? What achievements make you proud, and where do people consistently turn to you for help? Knowing your strengths boosts your brand!

4️⃣ Passions
What interests drive you, professionally and personally? Passions give your brand depth and authenticity.

5️⃣ Value Proposition
Ask yourself: What results do you deliver? What problems do you solve, and how do you add value in your own unique way? Your answer becomes the foundation of your brand’s value.

What’s one value or strength that you’d consider core to your brand? Drop it in the comments 👇🏻

Gone are the days when branding was just for big-name companies. As a professional—whether you realize it or not, like it or not—you already have a personal brand.

They say, "Your brand is what people say about you when you're not in the room."

So why not take charge of that narrative? Wouldn’t you agree?

I remember couple of years ago, someone introduced me at a networking event as “the person who always knows the right questions to ask.”

That comment stuck with me. From then on, I became even more intentional about the questions I was asking—focusing on ones that would bring clarity or spark ideas. It taught me that your brand isn’t just what you do, but how you do it.

Here are a few core ingredients to help you reflect and shape your personal brand.

The first few seconds of an elevator pitch are crucial.

It’s about capturing attention immediately and giving a sense of who you are. Start with clarity – be straightforward about your role and what makes your work unique.

Here’s a quick guide:

1️⃣ Define your role with purpose – Instead of simply stating your title, highlight what you actually do or the impact you drive.

2️⃣ Connect it to your value – Briefly share what makes you unique or how you bring value in your field.

3️⃣ Be concise and authentic – Be direct but personal. Let your personality show through to make it memorable.

A strong opening sets the stage for an engaging pitch. How do you start yours? 👇

When I help my coaching clients shape their personal brand, an engaging approach we explore is tapping into the psychology of color personality types.

This concept, inspired by one of my favorite books, Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson, helps my clients define and align their brand's tone, attitude, and values based on their personality color, creating a deeper emotional and visual connection with their audience.

Red (Confident & Assertive):

Tone: Bold, straightforward.

Keywords: Lead, challenge, empower.

Colors: Red, black, gold.

Example: “I take control of tough challenges and deliver results.”

Yellow (Optimistic & Future-Oriented):

Tone: Positive, enthusiastic.

Keywords: Create, envision, motivate.

Colors: Yellow, bright pink, orange.

Example: “I’m passionate about contributing fresh ideas.”

Green (Compassionate & Supportive):

Tone: Compassionate, nurturing.

Keywords: Support, listen, guide.

Colors: Soft green, lavender.

Example: “I’m here to support others every step of the way.”

Blue (Rational & Technical):

Tone: Analytical, precise.

Keywords: Analyze, evaluate, optimize.

Colors: Blue, white, silver.

Example: “My solutions are based on research for reliable results.”

You can mix and match these to represent the traits you want too!

Have you thought about this aspect of personal branding?

Do you want to work on your personal brand in order to advance your career?

Communicating with confidence doesn’t happen overnight—it’s a skill that requires self-awareness, practice, and a willingness to learn from every conversation.

Remember, confidence is not about being the loudest or the most dominant voice in the room. It’s about expressing yourself with clarity, conviction, and respect for others.

As you develop these abilities, you’ll notice positive changes not only in how others perceive you but also in how you view yourself.

When navigating challenging interactions in the workplace, understanding this simple yet profound truth can transform how we deal with difficult personalities.

In a recent discussion on handling difficult behavior at work, one key takeaway stood out: it's not just about setting boundaries or standing your ground, but also about listening, empathizing, and acknowledging the other person’s point of view. Whether you're dealing with an Aggressor, a Credit Taker, or a Rigid Thinker, recognizing their underlying needs can shift your approach.

👉 Stay calm when tensions rise.
👉 Use "I statements" to express the impact of their behavior.
👉 Keep interactions professional and fact-based.
👉 Set clear boundaries and stick to them.

Balancing empathy with assertiveness helps manage challenging situations while fostering respect and accountability.

Whatever you want to achieve in life starts with self-exploration 💡

And if you want to influence the people around you, it starts by influencing yourself

💫 Invest in yourself

You are your best asset, so invest time, money, and energy in yourself. Focus on strengthening your top skills rather than improving weaknesses for the greatest impact.

💫 Know yourself

Become your own best friend by understanding your values, talents, and passions. This self-awareness makes life and career decisions, like moving or changing jobs, much easier.

💫 Take care of yourself

You are your own best asset—do you care for yourself as you would for a prized car? Just as a car needs attention and maintenance, your body and mind require love and care to keep moving forward.

💫 Build your personal brand

Personal branding isn't just for companies—it's for you too. Build a strong, consistent brand by sharing your expertise online, where potential clients and employers are active. This applies whether you're self-employed or working for someone else.

Your career will be as great as the people who support you and promote you 🤝

So it’s important to identify the people that can help you and develop your network alongside

🔎 Know your supporters

To build strong support, focus on helping others first. My move to the Netherlands was made possible by two supportive bosses, whom I helped by going above and beyond in my work. This reflects the principle of reciprocity: offer value to others, and they will support you in return.

🔎 Know your gatekeepers

Who are the people that stand between you and your goals, such as recruiters or decision-makers? Build relationships with them early, like I did with the admissions board for my coaching program. Anticipating challenges and leveraging supporters will help you unlock opportunities

🔎 Know your direction

What drives your career— a specific country, a job opportunity, an industry, your passion, or a deeper sense of purpose, something else? My move to the Netherlands was motivated by love, my career jump was motivated by my passion and purpose. Reflect on what matters most to you and the lifestyle you want. Are you content with where you are now?

12/09/2024

What’s the key to dealing with difficult people?

According to me it is a combination of empathy, self-confidence, clear communication, and self-care.

Reflect on your own behaviors and identify areas where you can improve your interactions with others and practice one strategy at a time to gradually build your skills in managing difficult situations. 🧘🏻‍♀️

👉🏻 Stay Calm: Maintain composure, especially in confrontational situations.

👉🏻 Listen Actively: Show empathy by acknowledging others' viewpoints.

👉🏻 Set Clear Boundaries: Communicate limits firmly and consistently.

👉🏻 Use "I" Statements: Express your needs without blaming others.

👉🏻 Focus on Solutions: Shift conversations from problems to solutions.

👉🏻 Document Interactions: Keep records, especially with credit takers and unreliable types.

👉🏻 Avoid Power Struggles: Know when to disengage from unproductive conflicts.

👉🏻 Practice Self-Care: Protect your well-being by engaging in activities that help manage stress.

👉🏻 Promote a Positive Environment: Advocate for respect and collaboration within your team.
