ABOUT KOEN
Where Experience Leads the Way
I loved workingĀ as a program manager and consultant for the United Nations and Non-Governmental Organizations. Contributing to a better world! This kept me going for some 25 years! However, I still kept feeling unfulfilled, exhausted and frustrated with their results. I looked for change - every day - but in the wrong places. I moved countries, and changed jobs, every time looking to contribute to something new, looking for ways to feel like I was significant, like I mattered, like there was purpose in who I was.
It literally took me surviving a terrorist attack, an armed robbery on my house, and overcoming Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, to understand what that purpose was. Only when I started to work on what was within me - rather than changing what was external, did I start to see a profound shift. And now I have evolved into an effective development consultant, and career, life and mental health coach using highly effective coaching tools and techniques to bring out the best in you, your team and your organization!

Thanks to Koen I discovered I was doing everything for everyone around me, and was ignoring my own needs. It drained me. I am now leading a much more balanced life full of energy
Cynthia, Australia
I've learned to let go and not try to control everything. People around me now feel empowered in stead of controlled. Thank you, Koen!
Louis, United Kingdom
Trying to be of help to refugees, I worked 60-hour workweeks. I learned the importance of work-life balance and keeping myself sane. After my burnout, I am now myself, and I love life again.
Rebecca, Philippines
QOEN conducted an evaluation of our 4 year project. He did so in a very balanced and constructive manner. He ensured inclusion and participation of all stakeholders in the process. The final report has helped to inform our discussions with development partners for the next phase. Merci, Koen.

In our groupwork Koen helped us clarify the results framework for our project, our Theory of Change and how we measure and monitor the progress of our program. I am very excited about our project now.
