Steff
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.

What participants say:
Steff received an average score of 9.2 from 35 participants. Below are some of the comments participants added.
“I wouldn't have any points for improvement. I'm very satisfied with Steff, he was very pleasant, informative and approachable. I found him very knowledgeable and professional, and he took time for everyone's questions, comments and any further explanation needed.”
“No, it was very good, beyond expectations.”
“Steff was very open and shared from his own experience; his passion for the subject came across clearly and that works extremely well. Very extensive knowledge, and he shared sources for further study.”
“Steff was very open and patient, and responded to certain things that came up even though they weren't planned. He took his time and explained things in an understandable way, and put you at ease. So I have few points for improvement for Steff.”
“Steff has enormous knowledge and combines it with radical authenticity. What you see is what you get. For all subjects related to communication, those are important qualities in a trainer. Learned a great deal from him. Lovely person.”
“The trainer was very enthusiastic and committed to the subject, which certainly helps the learning process. The trainer also often had examples from her own situations, which appealed to me so that it didn't just feel like theory; the subject really came alive during the course. Very inspiring and motivating are the points that really stand out. Well done, Steff!”
“Steff is a pleasant trainer. I felt very much at ease with him.”
“The trainer was very knowledgeable and professional. Explains things clearly.”
“Professional and enthusiastic trainer, adapted to the training set-up, well prepared, friendly, incorporated many practical moments which was very interesting”
“The trainer made the training days so valuable. He is easy to approach, breathes NLP and has an eye for every participant.”
“Went well, the trainer was good at making the material understandable and applicable.”
“The trainer is highly engaged. By that I mean very involved in the content, but also in how it lands with the participants. I think this trainer has a complete command of the material and deals well with the participants' response to the course material and the exercises, and with their ability to absorb the subject matter. It was also good to see that the trainer links theory and practice in an enjoyable way.”
“Steff is a very capable person. He speaks very calmly and clearly and explains things well. In the informal conversations not related to the course, I also found him a pleasant person to talk to.”
"Very satisfied with the trainer. (i) Knowledge of the subject and clear explanation, (ii) enough room for your own input, (iii) a sense of safety because the trainer also brought in his own (personal) situations as practice examples, and (iv) honest feedback on points for improvement (repeating exercises)."
“Fine, clear explanations, a good pace, no teaching ‘over our heads’ and good contact with the participants; the trainer knows what he is talking about.”
