For us to reach somewhere, we require solid grounds, solid foundations. In this aspect humans are similar to trees. Trees cannot survive without roots, they store nutrients, harbor water, compete with other plants and ensure the tree is aligned, strong and can withstand a storm. Even for a seemingly healthy-looking tree, the roots may not be healthy and in the long-term can cause this tree to die.

We often aim to reach high, push ourselves beyond our limits and wonder why we fall down. Because we have not watered our roots, check the soil we stand on. We have simply assumed we can just go on.

Roots and Reach provides both: Excellent consulting services in the development sector as well as coaching on how we can stabilize our roots both on a personal and a career level.

Roots : As a certified systemic personal and business development coach (European Coaching Association), I provide tailored individual coaching sessions. You have all that it requires to strengthen your roots. I work with you on finding your right balance so that you can withhold any storm and reach your goals.

Reach : With over 10 years experience in the sector of development cooperation, I can work with you to bring your projects to ultimate success. This includes: strategy and policy development, stakeholder coordination and technical support on topics of education, skills development and private sector growth and innovation. I am also a certified trainer in the Qualitative Data Analysis Software MAXQDA, which can help to strengthen your evaluation and project performances.
