Meet Ivo

My Story

Ever since I was young, I’ve been curious about how the human mind works—about why we sometimes get moving effortlessly, while at other times we get stuck in our thinking.

At a young age, I was given the opportunity to become the director of a fast-growing temporary staffing and secondment agency. It was a valuable experience during which I learned a great deal about leadership, entrepreneurship, and communication—but also about myself. I realized how hard we can be on ourselves and how much energy it takes to constantly try to maintain control.

What I ultimately found most interesting wasn’t necessarily the company’s growth, but rather the interaction with people. Conversations in which things became clear. Moments when tension gave way to a sense of openness, and what had been complicated felt simpler again. A nice side effect of that clarity was that performance improved as well.

After selling the company, I continued working as a coach and HR strategist. I am trained in NLP and as a Three Principles Practitioner. In my work, I draw inspiration from Michael Neill and Byron Katie, among others.

In my personal life, I’m married and the proud dad of twins. That brings a lot of love, wonder, and a healthy dose of perspective. Ever since they arrived, I’ve been dancing around the room with my girls on a regular basis—something I’ve always enjoyed, but now I have an even better excuse to do it more often. I also love water sports and enjoy surfing, kitesurfing, and sailing.

My coaching style is attentive, curious, and unhurried. I don’t believe you need to constantly improve yourself. Often, change happens precisely when you stop fighting what is and take an open-minded look at what truly feels right.

That’s how I want to be there for you, too: not as someone who has all the answers, but as a fellow human being who truly listens, asks insightful questions, and works with you to create space for your own clarity.
