My way of working
I intellectually challenge my clients, work actively with my intuition for their team dynamics, bring emotions to the surface, teach them how to have healthy conflict, inspire them to find their team’s purpose (which derives from the organization’s purpose) and create a solid foundation for action. I help them become more self-aware and authentic.
​
Successful leaders don’t just solve problems, they see the bigger picture. I teach them to think systemically. It means that I help them see what they don’t see themselves, also in their wider stakeholder world. This helps leaders and teams recognize patterns, interdependencies, and underlying structures that drive behavior and outcomes. By shifting from isolated fixes to holistic solutions, my clients can navigate complexity, improve collaboration, and create lasting impact.
​​
I stand next to them and encourage them to make the change happen. Ultimately, they become better leaders of their own lives and the teams and organizations they lead. Leading better together!

"Tjessica supported me and my team
(in my previous role at Siemens Energy)
with a Systemic Coaching journey over a 16 month period. Her wealth of professional experience mixed with energy, imagination and a caring personality made her a joy to work with.
Tjessica was able to guide us through complex organization and team dynamics during a period where we were unable to work with each other in person. She brought us to a place where there is more safety and trust. She helped us putting difficult topics on the table. She have a super intuition for the team dynamics and is helping my team to go deeper. I love it when she bring mindfulness exercises to the sessions. I feel the passion and experience when she does them.
For me personally, I discuss things with her that I discuss with no one else. Her dedication to my development is incredible and I feel how committed she is. She helped me form closer relationships with my team members. She was able to help me see things that I didn’t see myself.
She leaves us in a better place as a team and individuals and I can highly recommend her for any team or individual coaching interventions!"

"Working with Tjessica has been a very enjoyable and beneficial experience that the Commercial Leads are still reaping the rewards from.
The systemic team coaching has dialled into some fascinating topics such as changing habits, the super skills matrix, the 5 disciplines model alongside using 360 degree feedback to shape behaviours.
Now there is so much more team cohesion, focused on strategy and our overall vision, but also emphasis on communicating this to the wider project team and obtaining buy-in from non-financial people and support staff. If people understand what you are trying and achieve and why, it makes achieving the overall i objective and desired outcome that much easier.
Margin, productivity and efficiency is up. Fair play to Tjessica, she played a blinder. Would thoroughly recommend."

VP Grid Consulting,

"I had the pleasure of receiving awesome coaching from Tjessica over a period of six months. This included two months of the Facet5 process.
What I appreciated was her flexibility, ability to really listen and get through to understanding the root of a problem.
As an experienced coach, she is able to challenge and dig into assumptions or misconceptions people have about themselves. This helps to bring clarity and focus about what to do and work on.
I personally realized positive results and highly recommend Tjessica. Not only as an expert in her field but as someone who cares and wants to see others succeed!"

My work is rooted in systemic thinking
The question is not what you look at, but what you see. Every time when I am in my bathroom, I see this quote next to my mirror. It reminds me that what we look at means little compared to what we see. Read more.
