Feeling beings who Think
Heleen Bakker,
Deputy Chief of Mission
The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Washington DC has worked with Marietta on several occasions and has been very satisfied with her approach, communication and results. In various team coaching efforts, Marietta has managed to engage team members in a positive spirit, advancing both individual commitments and team cohesion. Marietta is a good listener and observer and makes pointed and decisive interventions. She is very pleasant to work with and delivers as promised. I can highly recommend Marietta as a team coach - she effectively guides team members to better communicate and cooperate, in a positive and refreshing manner.
Cindy Thomas,
Director of Leadership Training
"Developing my commitment was a huge first step right from the first session. This has been life changing for me. My perspective has changed for the better, and I now see opportunities where I once saw challenges. I liked the relaxed, non-judgmental atmosphere and the mix of strategizing/thinking and physical awareness exercises.What worked well for me is that Marietta rarely gave me a ‘right answer’. Instead, she encouraged me to dig deeper into myself to find my own answers. Marietta held me accountable for my actions and words. I now take ownership of the happiness I want to feel in work and life."
Kilian Bennebroek Gravenhorst, Organizational Consultant, University of Amsterdam, Plus Pulse
"Marietta’s contribution to our team and the program - in a long-term leadership development program in a public organization 2000+ accounted for a large part of the success of this three-year assignment. She understands what is needed to realize change that is consistent with an organization’s ambitions. She is also great at supporting individual leaders in connecting with each other and to the purpose of the program. In addition, we enjoyed her dedication, wit, precision, flexibility and assertiveness."

Marietta not only brings to the table inherent personal wisdom in all these different aspects, she invites her clients to explore them, too. Marietta’s wonderful, warm and engaging energy makes clients feel safe, seen and heard.”
Marcel van Doorn,Operations and Facility Manager
"Marietta provided leadership coaching when I was faced with challenging personal and organizational changes. She was instrumental in creating perspective and helping identify the drivers for personal change. Marietta’s insight, well-positioned questions and holistic approach to mind and body helped me regain focus. It also helped me create the energy needed to engage challenges. I will continue to work with her on personal development and would recommend her wholeheartedly as a coach to any person or team faced with change."

Angelika Olsen,
Family Business Leadership Coach
"I highly recommend the cohort program for women leaders.
I was not aware, that over the years, I had seperated from my self and my body. As a result of the program there is greater integration of the choices my brain makes and what my body really needs. The result is greater alignment with my core self and what matters to me ."
