Tessa Houben Coaching

"Everything exceeded my expectations; there's not a single thing I would change. Tessa is an absolute gem and a true inspiration. I was deeply impressed by how she skillfully, tactfully and wisely navigated two full days with so many of us, guiding us through many profound steps. She was exceptionally mindful of everyone. During those two days, I felt more able to bring my full self than ever before in a larger group of colleagues."

 

"Completely different kind of training, very much about understanding ourselves better and connecting as a peer group rather than shaping us as most trainings have been."

 

"Truly a very special and unique experience that cannot be easily replicated. Very formative"

​

"Perfect setting for it. Very good facilitation. 

It was great to spend so much time with each other, amazing how quickly we went deep together and really got to know each other with very few exercises. Time flew by and I left very inspired and tired but happy from all the sharing and emotions!"

​

"It was simply one of the best moments since I joined the company. Your session helped me to look at my life, my work and my colleagues from a different perspective. I will never thank you enough for that! Keep doing this amazing job, you make such a big difference!!!"

​

"This session made me feel i can change things. It gave me ideas and inspiration. [...] We now know each other better than before: I liked the deepdive in our selves and the focus on our relationships. The day is a beautiful memory"

​

"I learned a new way of retrospecting and positioning my personal experiences and personal development. This can help me in the future [...] This was an excellent chance to learn more about each other and it was great to share things about me that would otherwise be hidden. I already feel the magic of vulnerability [...] People are all different but we share similar concerns. These similairties are also connections between us"

​

"I got to know much more about the team, eventhough I know some of them for decades. I am inspired by their stories and experiences [...] I have a more forward looking perspective after this off site and I look forward to have more interaction with everybody in the team"

​

"After today it is safe and ok to share vulnerabilities. [...] Getting response and suggestions from other people helps me to get out of my own mind-trap"

​

"This is a very wise use of time: it is actually kind of magical. [...] I realize now that no one is alone, we have many similarities​​"

​

“It made me realize I was working in a bubble. I now strongly feel the connection. It was motivating and inspiring.”

​

“I like the openness. I am thankful for these human beings called my colleagues."

​

"Sharing is great to build connection [..] vulnerable moments make us closer to each other"
