Executive Coaching
"Without doubt, the conversations I had with Jessica were the most valuable I've ever had in my life. I was able to make the decisions and take the right steps forward in my leadership that I needed."
- Senior Marketing Executive, International Retailer
"Jessica is a great coach: she has integrity, a calming presence and a genuine interest in people."
- Senior HR Manager, Dutch Retailer
"A member of my team and I decided to call on Jessica to address some developmental goals that were key for this individual's performance and career within our organization. As the sponsor of this HalgrenCoaching engagement, I met with Jessica and my team member to provide insight on coaching goals and kick-off the process. Later, I was invited back to explore relevant on-the-job learning activities that would support my team member's coaching engagement and provide a direct business benefit to our team. I found Jessica's approach to have the perfect combination of soft and hard skills: her attentive involvement with her clients focuses on the learning and the quality of the learning experience. She also understands the importance of managing the sponsor's expectations and of clarifying and then achieving goals for both the individual and the organization. Working with HalgrenCoaching gave me as a manager an additional way to develop talent on my team, and the process resulted in clear performance improvements and behavioral change on those goals we set out to achieve."
- Saskia de Jongh, European Sourcing Director, Royal Ahold
"The Executive Coaching I received during the time I worked with Jessica not only improved my analytic thinking and understanding about organizational performance, it enabled me to change and accelerate my career path within our organization. Without her knowledge, guidance and thought-provoking methods I know I would be in a place that was not challenging or fulfilling."
- Senior Executive, US Government
"Jessica has an exceptional ability to bring out the best in people and increase people's consciousness of their own talents. I experienced it myself as a manager preparing for a career step in which I would be leading 70 FTE. Jessica stimulated me by asking the right questions that got me thinking: about how I could best approach issues I was facing, how I could handle resistance from my team, etc. We spoke often and thanks to her enthusiasm, sincere interest, and ability to put things in perspective I grew tremendously professionally and personally."
- Manager Facilities & Services, Dutch Government
"Jessica is an outstanding professional who coached me whilst I was developing my investment process. Thanks to the Executive Coaching, I learned how to improve so many details of my job. A professional with the highest standard of service combined with a very pleasant personality makes Jessica a must for any professionals looking to achieve excellence."
- Senior Portfolio Manager, APG Investments
"Successful people sometimes attribute their good fortune to luck or say that opportunities just simply 'presented themselves'. I don't believe that, I believe that success comes from consciously and actively following your own compass and dreams. Executive Coaching helped me when I wanted to discuss this critical crossroads in my career as well define the next steps to achieving my goals. Thanks to Jessica's warm smile and razor-sharp questions, I found myself completely unexpectedly saying that I wanted to be a director of my own organization. A year later, my company is well established and growing soundly. I'm still very happy with the choice that I made, it was my own choice made based on the self-insight that surfaced during our coaching conversations. I now know where my strengths and areas of development are, am aware of what gives me energy and where I lose energy. This knowledge - this compass- continues to provide me anchors for learning and challenging myself to grow to new levels. Jessica provided the context and process that helped me dare to dream ambitiously, and to translate that to concrete actions and results. If finding your own inner compass is beneficial to you, then I can highly recommend partnering with Jessica."
- Roos Wouters, Chairwoman, Stichting Het Nieuwe Werken Werkt!
"Jessica is very thorough, you realize she knows what she is talking about. Our work together has helped me define a clear path and take strong steps in achieving the next level of development in my life."
- Bart Lacroix, Co-Founder, 1%CLUB
"My Executive Coaching engagement with Jessica was a wise investment. Within this period, my company became profitable and more organized. As an entrepreneur, work life can be lonely. Working with Jessica is something I can recommend to anyone with great ambitions, it is so incredibly valuable to have a capable partner in that critical process of personal and business growth."
