- About me
- About me
Your growth begins with attention to who you are. Give yourself the space, peace, and direction you need.
My name is Thijs Holkers. Since 2013, I’ve been working as a professional coach for individuals and organizations seeking calm, clarity, and growth. My approach is personal, reflective, and always tailored to your unique situation.
What sets me apart? I combine evidence-based coaching with insights from a completely different world: international expeditions. As an expedition leader, I guide teams through some of the most remote places on Earth. Out there, you learn to listen, build trust, and make decisions under pressure. Lessons I apply every day in my work as a coach.
Whether you're navigating a career transition, scaling your business, or searching for deeper purpose, I’m here to help you slow down, reflect, and move forward with genuine attention and without judgment.

- The Process
Take a breath. These 3 steps are for you.
Explore & Align
In our first conversation, we explore your questions, needs, and goals. No one-size-fits-all solution. Just an approach that fits you or your organization.
Focus & Execute
We get to work. Through conversations, exercises, or interventions, we create movement where things feel stuck.
Integrate & Strengthen
We reflect on the impact and explore how to build on it. What worked? What will you take with you? And what do you need to keep it going?

Take the first step today
Everyone deserves support, space, and reflection. Whether you're an individual or part of an organization: you don’t have to do it alone.
