Negotiator, Mediator, Facilitator, Lawyer

I advise individuals and teams in navigating delicate negotiations — from strategic partnerships and internal realignments to high-stakes deals and disputes.

My negotiation work ranges from behind-the-scenes coaching to live counseling and facilitation, always focused on aligning interests, managing power dynamics, and reaching long-lasting agreements.

Clients value my ability to bring clarity, structure, and calm to tense or uncertain situations — helping them make informed decisions and agreements in full discretion, without losing sight of relationships or the long-term perspective.

I offer mediation in demanding, confidential environments where stakes are high and relationships matter — between colleagues, teams, co-founders, business partners, or within leadership. I work with full confidentiality and never impose outcomes — the parties remain in charge of both process and resolution.

As independent and neutral facilitator, I create a structured process where parties can engage in honest dialogue, explore underlying interests, and move forward — on their own terms.

Whether it’s about rebuilding trust, unlocking movement, or simply having the conversation that needs to be had — I support people in finding durable, workable agreements that reflect both business realities and lasting relationships.

I facilitate conversations when pressure is high, topics are sensitive, or relationships are strained. This can involve strategic decision-making, conflict de-escalation, team alignment, or exploring a difficult decision.

I create a structured, neutral space that supports both clear thinking and constructive dialogue. My approach is calm, collaborative, and fully tailored — designed in close consultation with the people involved. I focus on what matters, both in the substance of the conversation and the relationships that shape it.

I work with teams, boards, and cross-company settings. Some conversations last 90 minutes; others span multiple days or form part of a longer trajectory.

I develop and deliver in-depth training programs on negotiation, conflict resolution, difficult conversations, and leadership dynamics. With years of experience in legal practice and organizational consulting, I bring credibility, relevance, and energy to the room.

My sessions are built on a strong foundation of theoretical knowledge, but the focus is always on real learning through doing. Participants engage in roleplays, fishbowls, and other carefully designed exercises that allow them to apply new concepts in practice. With structured feedback systems in place, each session becomes a space not just for insight, but for lasting skill development.

Whether working with seasoned professionals or emerging leaders, my trainings are interactive, practical, and always grounded in real-world challenges.

While I often teach and facilitate, I also act as the architect of broader programs — curating the right experts for each topic and crafting coherent, context-specific learning trajectories aligned with the client’s goals and culture.

My programs are tailor-made and always built around exercises, feedback, and real-life application — not abstract theory. Participants actively practice new skills in realistic settings, reflect on what works, and receive structured input to sharpen their approach.

Each program is designed with follow-up moments to anchor the learning and support enduring change in daily interactions and decision-making.

I’m a certified intervision facilitator in the Netherlands for lawyers and professionals who want to grow in reflective practice. I create a safe, structured space where peers can step back from the daily rush, share real dilemmas, and learn from each other’s insights and experiences.

With experience in both legal and learning environments, I know how to balance psychological safety with challenge — ensuring each session is not just collegial, but meaningful and useful.
