Portrait of Steff

Steff

Personal development and communication trainer
9,5 average rating from 11 participants

I'm Steff, a Volendam-born Amsterdammer. For me, a course has only succeeded if you feel what you have learned. After all, knowing is something different from being able to do. My job as a trainer is to let knowledge settle in your body, so that it sticks and you can genuinely do something with it at work the next day. I work with playfulness, humour and the occasional targeted confrontation, always safely, because that is what really sets learning in motion.
