Sandrine van den Oudenhoven

I accompany professionals in their development and career progression.

With a background in engineering, I started my career within multinational companies. Much before it became a usual way of work, in 1996, my professional landscape was multifunctional and multicultural, implied matrix organizations and distributed teams and was involving both face-to-face and remote working.

Curious by nature and eager to learn new things, I have worked in different industries (chemical, consumer goods, nutrition, automotive) and in different fields: project management, sales, supply chain, people management.

Since 2010, I have been coaching people in the different stages that most impact their professional development: orientation, transition, skills assessment, starting in a new role, skills and leadership development.

The tools I use in my coaching sessions aim to mobilize the different intelligences of my coachees, beyond the cognitive intelligence alone. The work focuses on transforming what they experience at work and in life into resources, performance, professional agility, know-how and interpersonal skills.

Involved and active in various collaborative initiatives, associations and work groups, I use my lived experiences to be in tune with the challenges my coachees face in their organizations, to be a better sounding board for their own experiences and to better invite them to look at the whole system in which they evolve.

My coaching sessions are tailored to each individual’s unique journey. I guide my coachees in developing self-awareness, refining their leadership styles, and fostering the courage to challenge themselves.

In order to meet my coachees where they are and accompany them where they aspire to be, I have trained in multiple fields:

  • ACC and PCC qualification according to the ICF
  • Certified Agile Coach
  • Instructor (level I) in MBCT – Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy
  • Certified Process Communication Model Coach
  • CSA Supervisor Diploma
  • Improvisational theatre techniques.

Sandrine helped me reflect my own personal aspirations along the way so that they remained the lodestar rather than the busy-ness of the everyday.

I opened my eyes on new perspectives, I have learned on myself: my strengths, my successes but also my weaknesses that are no more to be considered as a burden

For the best. Sandrine is very operational, driven by objective and goals. This makes her coaching rooted in reality with concrete workshops.

Sandrine has guided me with a lot of kindness, but just the level of drive I needed to move forward.

Sandrine has helped me see myself in a different way and has given me great tools to be in more harmony with myself which is so important professionally and also personally.

Sandrine is one of the most honest and positive energised persons I have ever met.

Sandrine has an amazing ability to help uncover one's true strengths.

My sessions were not only helpful in developing my personal strategy but also in rebuilding my self confidence.

Sandrine possesses the right mixture of clarity of mind, technical knowledge, kindness and empaty.

Being coached by Sandrine was a great experience to learn more about what I'm good at, what energizes me at work, what I need in my professional life to feel fulfilled.

Sandrine provided me with so much clarity and focus in terms of what I want and where I am heading.

Professional, super responsive, proactive, an amazing listener and coach in making me find answers in myself offering the right clues and support.

By the end of this journey, I can only say that a necessary and big transformation has taken place in my life - and for this I shall forever be grateful.

The coaching experience was very beneficial. It is a real chance to perform such a programme in a mid-carrer time.
