This process leads to:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gaining insights, awareness, and personal development<\/li>\n<li>Enhancing self-confidence, personal effectiveness, and the ability to connect with oneself and others<\/li>\n<li>Exploring, developing, and effectively applying one\u2019s potential in both work and personal life, aligning the mind, heart, and gut.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Core Values\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>My core values reflect what truly matters to me. They serve as a compass guiding my choices and approach to life and work.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Appreciation:<\/strong> For yourself, others, relationships, and what you\u2019ve experienced, learned, and achieved. *Aprezo* comes from Esperanto and means &#8220;appreciation.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Growth\/Development:<\/strong> Lifelong growth and learning, gaining wisdom from every experience. I view every moment as an opportunity to learn and grow, which is why I invest annually in my own development.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compassion:<\/strong> Feeling for yourself and others with understanding and without judgment. This word contains two elements: &#8220;compass&#8221; to guide my approach and &#8220;passion&#8221; for people, their growth, and their connection with themselves and others.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Integrity: <\/strong>Walk the talk, do as promised. Living according to my values, being reliable and acting accordingly. Acting honestly and fair and go for the win-win (also business wise).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Positivity:<\/strong> Focusing on opportunities and possibilities. I believe every problem has a solution. By first embracing what is, space is created for ideas and possibilities. With inspiration and creativity, much more is achievable than you might think.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Connection:<\/strong> Aligning what my head thinks, my heart and gut feel, and what truly matters to me. This connection is crucial for self-awareness and for helping clients take control and make conscious choices. For many clients, this is a revelation that brings significant progress.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quality:<\/strong> Delivering the best, because that\u2019s what clients deserve.

My professional career began as a nurse and later as a cardiac care nurse. Always eager to grow and learn, I transitioned to research, studying Health Sciences while working as a project staff member at the Heart Foundation, where I also had our two eldest sons. Later, I advanced to roles as a project and program manager, positions I held for over two decades across various health organizations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, I began working independently as a project and program manager while also starting my Co-Active coaching training. I am now an internationally certified Co-Active Coach (CPCC) with years of experience, having coached hundreds of clients and logged over 2,000 coaching hours. Over time, I\u2019ve completed numerous training programs and certifications in leadership and team development. Between 2015 and 2016, I attended the intensive Co-Active Leadership Program in Sitges, Spain.

Together with Annette Lechner, Yvonne Daher, Anne-Marie Lawrence, and trainee trainers in Lebanon, we developed training materials for the leadership program aimed at young Lebanese and Syrian girls and women in Lebanon. Alongside Annette, Yvonne, and Anne-Marie, I conducted workshops in Lebanon and trained the women to help them move forward. Together with local people and organizations, we assessed what was possible and needed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The situation in Lebanon is dire due to the collapsed economy, the enormous refugee crisis, high unemployment, and wars in the region and surrounding areas. It is incredibly challenging for women to develop themselves and build their own livelihoods. It was immensely rewarding to work with all these wonderful and talented women and girls, helping them gain confidence and witnessing how they came out of their shells while working hard to become independent and entrepreneurial.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I personally funded my trips to and stays in Lebanon.\u00a0<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From 2017 to 2019, I volunteered with the Bakboord Foundation in The Hague. My role was to support individuals after incarceration in finding work and\/or education and rebuilding their lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the early 2000s, I served on the board of the Dutch Association for Cardiovascular Nurses (NVHVV) for several years. Under my leadership, the first edition of their now-annual CarVasZ conference was organized in collaboration with a program team.<strong>\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#e5e5e5&#8243; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.aprezo.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/favi_clipped_rev_1.png&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;bottom_left&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;60px||60px||true|false&#8221; top_divider_style=&#8221;curve2&#8243; top_divider_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; top_divider_height=&#8221;50px&#8221; top_divider_arrangement=&#8221;above_content&#8221; global_module=&#8221;8195&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;900px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||25px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Are You Ready to Invest in Yourself?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_cta button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.aprezo.nl\/en\/calendly&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Contact&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#7e4b97&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#789632&#8243; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;bottom&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;off|50px||50px|&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>For me, it\u2019s all about catalyzing positive change within you.
