For your company

Do you recognise these obstacles along the way?

You need a perfectly trilingual EN/NL/FR trainer/coach?

You need your programmes to be delivered consistently throughout your multilingual organisation.

You know that working with different trainers and coaches requires separate, time-consuming briefings.

You prefer a coherent approach, identical content and a consistent level of quality in the development and delivery of your programmes.

You want the same trainer/coach to give the exact same workshop in different languages to make sure all teams benefit of the same message.

Your ideal trainer/coach:

Delivers offline and online trainings in English, Dutch and French
Continuously adapts materials to the level and knowledge of the audience
Guarantees the consistency of key messages across the organisation

You miss a trainer/coach who provides valuable feedback and insights for your further business and development needs?

A trainer/coach who merely delivers a training with a ‘tick-the-box’ mentality is of no use to you.

You value the feedback and insights from trainees and want to know how they feel in the organisation.

You want to improve your range of services and appreciate any input to further develop and engage employees.

You are keen to collaborate with a trustworthy HR- and business-minded trainer/coach.

You would love to spar with a trainer/coach who takes up a role as talent and learning partner too.

You find it hard to find a trainer/coach who facilitates both offline and online trainings? Or you feel the need to go outside for a change?

You have good trainers and coaches in your current pool of freelancers, but they are reluctant to deliver online or they are not yet equipped to take your teams for a learning or coaching experience outdoor.

You feel the pressure to offer your clients a blended learning approach or and to stay on top of market trends.

You have become acquainted with blended and online learning and see its added value. Walk and talk workshops and coaching are in the air and you are curious to try it out.

Your current freelancers cannot be persuaded to upgrade their facilitation skills to the new trends in coaching or group animation. As such, you are missing out on opportunities.

You need a trainer/coach with a holistic approach, whether it is inside or outside.

You receive a client request and find out there is no content available?

A new opportunity arises but your regular learning and development consultants are fully booked or away on holiday.

You think: “Damn, no content, no deal” as you scramble for a professional you can trust.

You need a trainer/coach who can meet the client, analyse his situation, define his learning needs and develop the content for a training or coaching programme.

You get annoyed when trainees mention that “their training was not interactive enough”, “they learned next to nothing” or “it was a waste of their time”?

You want your trainer/coach to stimulate interest and increase enthusiasm for self-development and self-growth.

You dream of an engaged and energised audience, ending up with new insights and an elaborate action plan that is on par with your investment.

An authentic and pragmatic approach may help you reach your objective. All the while, the journey towards appreciative inquiry and empowerment may help you and your team reach peak performance.

You get frustrated as trainees complain that training materials are full of spelling and language mistakes?

Your programmes need to be rolled out in different languages.

Presentations and materials must be translated but translation agencies or sidekicks use machine translations like Google Translate, resulting in weird sentences and expressions.

You know very well that this kind of mishaps hurt your image and reputation.

You want to offer quality and that includes supporting materials.

For you

Do you face these hurdles on your path?

You are considering a job or career switch?

You know what you do not want any longer but have no idea of what you really want. What are your talents and competencies? And how can you make changes happen?

Or you do know what you want but are scared to jump in. You could use someone to spur you on.

Or you know what you want and how to make it happen but you need someone to challenge you, to check your resume and your LinkedIn profile, to help prepare for job interviews and negotiating terms and to keep you on track till you get there.

You need a trekking buddy, someone who knows you and walks along with you to your new destination.

You want to develop your management or leadership skills?

You manage or supervise a team. You like it but it is not always easy. You struggle between your own day-to-day duties and managing the people in your team.

You deal with employees who have lost their motivation or are clearly unhappy. And you wonder what you can do about it.

You give regular feedback to your team members but unfortunately, nothing seems to change.

You would like to know when you need to act as a coach, as a manager or as a mentor. So far, you tried and nothing seems to work. You need seven league boots.

You feel disengaged, stretched, stressed, or drained?

You are no longer happy. You are wondering if you should switch jobs, move to another company or leave your significant other.

You are living on autopilot, you no longer enjoy the people, things and activities that gave you so much energy in the past. Passions and goals have become a thing of the past.

There is a confusing disconnection between you and the world, and it feels you no longer share the same values anymore.

You want to understand all this and act before it is too late.

You have received worrisome feedback on your performance?

You thought you were doing fine at your current job but have just found out you are at risk.

You are unsure what to make of the cautionary feedback. Should you accept it, deny it or take up action?

You worry about the consequences.

You need someone to help you understand this input and work on it so you can adapt and get back on track.

You feel a need to reshape your interaction skills?

You are dealing with some communication issues.

Misunderstandings lead to awkward situations and keep you awake at night.

You try to explain things clearly, but others do not seem to truly get what you are saying. Or they say they do but to your frustration, nothing changes.

You want to put a stop to these tricky situations and are keen to understand different communication styles and approaches.

You are overwhelmed with fear, to-do lists and must-do’s?

You do all that people expect you to do.

You give it your all but there is no appreciation for what you do and it does not feel right.

You feel that life is passing you by.

You feel that enough is enough, but that is easier said than done.

You dream of deciding for yourself what matters most to you.

Thank you Stéphanie ... I really appreciated the precision and thoroughness of your training. It clearly stands out from any other trainings I have attended so far. I have a fairly good idea now how I must behave when I have clients’ meetings.

Ingrid, Consultant – Participant to “Using power body language“

I did not realise that I was spending more time doing insignificant things than doing important things. This training opened my eyes on how to prioritise and plan my days. This motivates me to rethink my approach. Fantastic!

Karen, HR Officer - Participant to “From busyness to productivity”

Really appreciated working with Stéphanie, as she will give you actionable no-nonsense feedback. She listens to your personal needs and, since she is a go-getter, she will do what is necessary for you to get the most out of her program. She is fair but demanding, meaning she will make sure you keep your promises.

Wouter Van Eetvelde, Customer Succes Officer - Waylay

I learned a lot about myself. Saying "no" has never been easy for me. I now understand why. I learned “how to say no techniques” and had the opportunity to practice with others. Now let us put it into action.

Kelly, Accountant - Participant to “Be assertive in the workplace”

During the online workshops in my outplacement path with LHH, Stéphanie has shown strong organisational and empathic skills by leading these workshops in a very well structured way and keeping focus on the needs from the participants and defining the outcome and next steps. Well done!

Frank Penne, Managing Director - Smurfit Kappa

It is not easy to remain calm and be correct when a client verbally “attacks” you ... Usually I do not say anything and then the tension increases, then I say things without thinking. However, I learned that I must react earlier to prevent any escalation. Role-playing with the actor helped a lot to practice. Thank you.

Luc, Logistic Planner - Participant to “Dealing with verbally aggressive customers”

I met Stéphanie when she took a class of mine on the de Career Fitness Profiler. Stéphanie is a quick learner. We started working together on different projects and I have come to know Stéphanie as a dependable thorough and highly professional person. She is also patient, listens well and is a joy to work with.

Lesley Vanleke, Co-Founder - TalentLogiQs

Thank you Stéphanie, this journey covers the fundamental skills needed to function as a manager. It gives food for thought and to review my current management style. I admire your pedagogical talent as well: small striking sentences, punch, simplification of the problem and explanations by various examples and anecdotes. Thank you.

Tony, Administration Team Leader - Participant to “Become a leader”

Throughout my career counseling process, Stéphanie was always well prepared, enthusiastic, interested and flexible about meeting up. She always kept her promise to forward additional information. I never felt treated like a number and received a truly personal service. I would definitely recommend working with Stéphanie!

Robin Deman, Research Coordinator - Unizo

It is not easy to realise that we are often responsible for our own stress. Nice overview of the various kinds of stress and the consequences if left unchecked ... I liked the tips and tricks to better manage your emotions. Great!

Patricia, Store Manager - Participant to “How to self-manage in this VUCA world”

Stéphanie is a professional by all accounts. She knows what she can do and what she wants: as such, she knows how to tune in perfectly with her customers’ requests. She thinks along with them and searches for viable solutions. That is why we are quite happy to work with her.

Petra Sevinga, Senior Consultant Leadership - Schouten & Nelissen

In all honesty, I thought I was doing well ... But this training was a real "eye-opener"... Among others: questions to avoid, good practices, bias, my body language and especially how to formulate my questions to evaluate the competencies of the candidates … In short, I learned a lot … Good training, thank you.

Matthias, Manager - Participant to “Grow your interviewing skills”

Hi Stéphanie Thank you so much for a great well-structured and structure-building training programme, featuring a sound, content-rich theoretical framework illustrated with good examples! Thank you, too, for your open-minded approach, your empathy and your determination to offer us as many keys as possible.

Laurence, Coach & Trainer - Participant to “Negotiators are made, not born”

Stéphanie, you succeeded in identifying the issues and challenges facing our Academy. You have been able to produce tailor-made and bespoke training programmes based on a detailed analysis of our requirements. Thanks to your excellent trilingual skills, you were able to ensure continuity and consistency in the messages conveyed to the various groups trained in soft skills.

Diane Irakoze, Learning & Development Consultant - Securitas Academy

Stéphanie has a reputation for being strict, but she simply takes her outplacement coaching to heart, in times of personal turmoil and insecurity. She introduces ideas in a logical and phased manner, and she has a clear view of approach. She took me on a structured path of repositioning and made me reflect a lot about myself and my career goals.

Art De Maesschalk, Director Health & Beauty EMEA - Disney Consumer Products

Stéphanie provides very useful career tips and her HR experience clearly shows in all that she says. She allows room to discover step by step what you exactly need in each phase of the outplacement programme and then gives feedback in a correct and steering way. We also had follow-up conversations through Skype and it was insightful to realise that technology does indeed allow remote guidance.

Erik de Caster, Senior HR Consultant - Pyramid HR Solutions

During the Leadership journey she guided for our team, Stéphanie, perfectly bilingual, was able to convey the same content and message to all our Production Team Leaders, each in their own language. Based on what is happening in the workplace and thanks to her former HR background, she spontaneously provided HR with insights and possible improvement options.

Thomas Boone, HR Officer - Ter Beke

I worked with Stéphanie during her first months as a freelance trainer for Securitas Academy. Her professionalism, flexibility and positivism stood out. The content she created was of good quality and she could quickly adapt to the needs of our company and people. I liked working with her, which is why I recommend her when I see an opportunity.

Myrthe Rombauts, Learning & Development Consultant - Securitas Academy
