Personal coaching
I coach leaders and professionals working with embedded applications, mobile apps or internet applications across various industries. I help my clients with what they want to achieve or how to overcome specific challenges they face. I help them focus and prioritise, find answers to questions about their personal development, personal growth, their career choices.
What helps is that as my client, you can talk about a specific challenge and use the language and terminology that you’re used to. Without having to explain the business context, because I know the technology and software industry first-hand. I understand the business challenges and uncertainties, high pressure and organisational dynamics.
Coaching philosophy and approach
My coaching philosophy centres on your way of being: how you think, speak, feel and hold yourself determine how you experience a situation. I help you find ways to change situations that match with who you are. My coaching approach is empowering and tailored.
Outcomes from coaching
My clients come out with increased confidence, feeling empowered and connected with their inner strength. They talk of different perspectives, clarity and insight, focus and priorities, new strategies, and an idea of their next steps to achieve their professional goals, while maintaining the quality of their personal life.

“Erik has an organic and yet goal-oriented approach. We defined the goals I wanted to achieve upfront at the beginning of the programme and Erik helped me focus on them during our sessions. His profound understanding of the different organizational dynamics in high-tech firms helped me identify new strategies for my own reality/situation.”

“The coaching sessions with Erik have helped me to focus and prioritize my personal development. I've been inspired to reflect and find improvement areas in the way I work and in my skill set. He has asked the right questions to give a different perspec tive and sometimes he gave suggestions on the next steps to help me further develop as a leader and colleague.”
- Product Manager
“I entered the conversation with ideas on how I want to change in my career, and indirectly my life too. Erik helped me to narrow concerns about my current job down to tangible actions where I have the control to change it for the better. By the end of my last session, I was equipped with the right “tooling” to approach unknown situations with confidence! Thank you, Erik!”
