"Bas acted as trainer and coach in my Talent Development trajectory. He also supervised the Personal leadership module. Although I initially dismissed Personal Leadership as soft and hazy, Bas has stimulated me enormously to take action through his approach.
By asking direct and critical questions, sometimes very confronting, but also very necessary, he has enabled me to remove a number of blind spots from myself.
Bas is pleasant, professional and personal to interact with. This, together with a noticeable result for others in my area, makes me recommend Bas wholeheartedly!"
"Bas trains Offiss in the field of mutual cooperation. During the sessions I have gotten to know Bas as a skilled trainer and coach! He knows how to get a clear view of the things that slow you down in your personal development and/or the collaboration with your colleagues in an efficient and pleasant way. He provides tools to deal with these issues in order for you to be able to develop yourself and work better together. I have gotten to know Bas as a valuable, honest and pleasant coach with genuine interest in everyone he works with. I feel at ease with him and dare to be vulnerable under his supervision. Until now, the coaching process has enabled me to work on my personal development and with my partner on Offiss, with even more pleasure!"
"Bas is an experienced coach and pleasant person to deal with. He has given me new insights about myself and has brought qualities to light that I had forgotten. In a well balanced and sometimes playful way, Bas and his colleague have helped me to become the confident person I am today! A human being!"
"Big fat kudos to Bas and Louise. Together they organized our annual culture day that was all about getting to know yourself and each other better. The day consisted of inspiring and stimulating workshops that were well supervised. Great how safety was created and how the response was to individual issues. In collaboration with Stach, we will continue to strengthen our culture and team development.”
"Bas was one of the core trainers during the coaching program at the Trainers Academy. My experience with Bas is that he is an excellent listener. In a very pleasant way, he gives you the space to discover for yourself what is going on in your head & heart. He then asks you a very to-the-point question to get you to think/experience even more. His way of working is very respectful and decisive at the same time. Bas is a very nice person whom you can also have a good laugh with. Go experience it yourself!"
"I've worked with Bas on several occasions and I'm very impressed with his work. He's creative, has a plesant way of making contact with others, is very good coach and trainer on (personal) leadership. I can recommand him as trainer and coach for professionals and managers."
"I had the chance to work with Bas in different context. He was my team coach during MBA studies, my personal coach and later trainer and facilitator for my company. As a team coach, Bas enabled the team members to talk about the hidden issues, to reveal that things can be different and more pleasant for every member. Bas is listening very carefully and can even pick up what is not said. As such, he questions with relevance. The team dynamic improved a lot afterwards, and all this was done with care (from Bas and among the team thanks to him). As a personal coach, Bas is able to see in you what you don't see and helps you to reveal it. Once again, the questioning is relevant and the tools are appropriate to the situation (personal issues, professional and career path reflections...). He helped me to clear my mind and clarify my professional way forward. As a training facilitator, Bas did a good preparation with the management of my company to define and tailor the training content to the group ("The importance of giving and receiving feedback and how to do it"). The training was dynamic, alternating lecture/theory, exercises, acting situations, observations, discussion/ debate. Bas was able to control the group, re-focus the discussion while listening to concerns, and get respect thanks to his experience in different industries. According to employee survey, this is the training with the highest satisfaction rate since the last 4 years. Thanks Bas for the collaboration we had up to now! I wish this continues."
