“ It is a privilege working with my clients in a shadow position. Strictly private and confidential. My guidance as your trusted private sparring partner helps you make decisions faster and with greater clarity, giving you the calm you need to let both your business and your personal life function at their best.
I am not a coach and I do not provide therapy.

My work is confidential, strategic and mental sparring for leaders who already function at a high level.”

A bit of history...

  • More than 30 years ago, when living in Los Angeles, people started calling me 'The Listener'.  I was having lunch with a person at that time, who told me I was such a good listener, that I could reflect so well personal thoughts... and she asked me why I did not consider being a motivational consultant / vip coach for people and businesses in Los Angeles. A few days later... I started my business in LA.
​
  • Years before that moment I already knew that I was able to relate to a person's feelings' in a unique way. I studied and learned more about the psychology of human behavior and how to help people taking the next important step in their lives and businesses. ​
 
  • Born in the north of Belgium I was Vice President of the American Club of Brussels for more than a decade, General Manager at Real Estate #1 in Miami & Los Angeles and Managing Director of a subsidiary of a Belgian insurance company. But most of my life, I have been and still am a trusted advisor for high-level clients. I lived and worked in Amsterdam, Brussels, Marbella, London, NY, Miami and Los Angeles.
