“Be not afraid of going slowly;
be only afraid of standing still”
— Chinese proverb
Our conversations
What we focus on in our conversations is up to you. It’s best when you can (re)take control in your job as well as in life. After all, you lead all day long: yourself as well as others. Most of the time this works well, but sometimes it falters. When there are a lot of expectations , when leadership is a new role, or takes place in a different environment than before.
What works?
If you are willing to look at your situation with an open mind, I’ll walk with you. This will help you gain new experiences and see things from a different perspective.
Sometimes this requires a more explicit look at your development, background, and ingrained patterns.
New paths?
By exploring together, insights emerge that can help you chart a different path, tackle a persistent issue, enter the political arena, clarify your ambitions, or take the next step in your career.

Job satisfaction
The most important outcome we strive for is that you can organize your work with more peace of mind, results, enjoyment, and satisfaction. This means reflecting on your experiences or questions during our meetings and working on small assignments in between.
Who are you talking to?
My experience as a manager and advisor shapes my role as a discussion partner. I know what it’s like to be ultimately responsible for a department and that such a role offers opportunities for leadership. But I’m also familiar with situations where leadership is provided from an advisory position and through personal influence. My goal is for our conversations to provide insights that will help you both accept the unchangeable and take targeted new steps.
Teams
Besides coaching, I’m also available for team support or advice. The approach is almost the same as for coaching; after an initial introduction and clarification of your questions, I’ll create a tailored offer. More information about possible products can be found elsewhere on this website.
If the above raises any questions, please send an email to
d.tamminga@coachinggroepgroningen.nl and I’ll get in touch.
