Summary

Certified Professional Coach and Communication Skills Trainer with over 25 years experience. Moved from Amsterdam to Auckland in November 2021 

I hold a Master of Science from the University of Utrecht in General Social Sciences. After 5 years in Head Hunting, I started working as a Communication Skills Trainer in 2001.

In 2005 I started my own company, Zeijlmans Coaching & Training Ltd and have been working in that capacity ever since .

I coach professionals in their business development, in different stages of their career. It can be very beneficial to look at your career and do some self-assessment. Are you going in the right direction? Are the things that used to work for you, still working? At a certain moment in your career, it’s not just about the knowledge you gained, but the decisions that you make are a combination of knowledge and personal experience. How do you combine the two? How do you relate to different roles in your life? How is the work/life balance?

I’m convinced that the more you know yourself, the higher your self-esteem will be. And the higher the self-esteem is, the more successful you can be. 

In addition to my coaching I give workshops about Influence Skills; Negotiation Skills (based on the Harvard Method); Consultancy Skills and General Communication skills and Cross Cultural Communication.

Companies that I’ve worked with in the last 20 years include: Accenture, Deloitte, ING Bank, ABN AMRO bank, Rabobank, Shell, Dutch Railways (NS), Achmea, Menzis, Centraal Beheer (insurance), Unilever, KPN (telecom), adidas Global, Dutch Police, Belastingdienst (Dutch IRD), Heineken, Nuon, Eneco (energy companies), Ahold (Dutch Food Stuffs Group), several big City Councils, Public Companies. 

Next to the big companies I have worked with a number of smaller start-ups.
