Leadership has to be taken over every area of your life. I like to compare people with trees: it’s impossible for one branch to blossom while another is dying. The tree fully blossoms or it doesn’t. The branches represent the roles you have, your role as a leader – partner - parent. All are connected. When your company is thriving but your marriage is dying, you cannot blossom. When you don’t blossom, your company won’t blossom. The impact of one dying branch is invisible and untouchable but undeniable.  

I have been working with leaders over the past four years. I haven’t helped one leader where the branches weren’t connected. Sometimes it seemed as a miracle: processing something in one’s personal life translated into their business growth of any kind.

​

One of the key elements of rock solid leadership is self-knowledge: knowing who (you think) you are and how you think. Having self-knowledge is stated as one of the most important skills a great leader should possess. Studies show that most people believe they are self-aware. But it’s a rare quality, even in leaders. I help you growing in this crucial skill. 

​

Strategic thinking is one of my strengths. It enables me to trace the root cause of your business challenge and turn it around. My toolkit exists of a surprising variety: research – experience and most importantly Biblical knowledge. I built my leadership and business on the Rock of Ages in order to help you (re)building yours.

​

It’s my mission to make you fully blossom. To support you in building your perfectly solid foundation, as solid as a rock. My name is Anouk Schaap and I am looking forward in serving you and your company.
