Leadership Development
Leadership is not about a job title - it is about how you show up, make decisions, and inspire others.
Whether you lead a project team, a department, or organization, you are a leader.
Leadership comes with challenges. It can feel overwhelming at times, especially when navigating complex team dynamics, high expectations and constant change. The key is not working harder but smarter.
Wherever you are on your leadership journey, having a coach at your side helps you to overcome challenges and develop the skills, mindset and strategies to lead effectively.


Even the best athletes are supported by a professional coach, why would this be different for you?


From expert to leader
You are a Life Science Professional with the ambition to grow as a leader. You have built your career on deep expertise and now you are ready to take the lead. What does it take to be effective?






Leading with confidence
You are an established leader, but the higher you rise, the greater the expectations. You want to have more impact, but something holds you back to lead more boldly.
Building a top-team
You are leading a team, but are often stuck in daily operations instead of focusing on strategy. You want to deliver greater results together, but how do you build a top-performing team that excels?

Testimonials

I signed up for the 8-week coaching program with Marleen. The coaching sessions we had were comfortable and we had very open discussions. Via Marleen I got introduced to the Positive Intelligence Program (positiveintelligence.com). which was a quite impactful experience to me, maybe even a life changer. So many things that I recognized and helped me put the pieces-of-the-puzzle together...
Rob, Life Science Professional
I was looking for a communication coach with the goal of communicating effectively and with impact. Not only was this achieved, along the way I learnt to self reflect and improve to become a better leader. Marleen has a unique and impressive way of coaching you. Our sessions were so comfortable and efficient and she is easy to open up to.
