" Marijke is an insightful and grounded executive coach I have been privileged to work with during the past year. By listening on a deeper level, she guided me through a range of challenging areas I faced as a CEO; leading employees, implementing systems, and solving problems. She is strict but wise, holding you accountable and identifying both blind spots and areas of growth. In addition, she cared for me in the most insightful and personal way - something I will take with me in my journey of developing and supporting others. She encouraged me to slow down, listen to myself, own and celebrate my accomplishments, and embrace all aspects of my personality; my executive side as well as my compassionate, intuitive, and creative side. I am very grateful for our work together as I stand more grounded in analysis and decision-making."
