Portrait of Michaela

Michaela

Trainer communication and personal development
9,1 average score from 160 participants

I was born and raised in Amsterdam and I get energy from challenging others and getting them moving. In my courses I think it is important that there is a safe and relaxed atmosphere in which you can experiment, are allowed to make mistakes, can laugh and, above all, discover for yourself what works for you. I combine clear, accessible psychological insights with practical exercises and room to reflect, so that participants can put it to use straight away in their daily lives. What will you notice about me? A gentle, clear and energetic approach, aimed at bringing out your strengths and helping you discover what you are capable of yourself.

I can give you a solution for today, but by learning how to find it yourself, you create freedom for tomorrow. That is what we will look for together.

Influencing skills and powers of persuasion · March 2024 · rating 10

“Michaela seems to know exactly what to say in different situations. She leaves just enough room for discussion and knows how to steer the conversation back so that we can move on with the explanation or the next situations. That way everyone gets enough of a turn. I received the feedback I was looking for, and she gave it in an extremely respectful way.”

Selection Interviews with STAR · January 2024 · score 8

“Michaela was good! She was clear in her explanations. She gave everyone the space and time to introduce themselves and to ask each other questions. As the day went on and you got to know each other ‘better’, it also became more personal, which I really appreciated.”
