I believe we thrive when we truly understand ourselves and use our strengths to contribute to something beyond ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I lecture in leadership and development at Hotelschool The Hague and bring over a decade of experience running my own coaching and training practice. I hold an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology from the University of East London (graduated with distinction), where I focused on what makes leadership development effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A strong commitment to lifelong learning and continuous development shapes my work. Over the years, I have completed a range of professional trainings\u2014including Co-Active Coaching (CTI), Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching (CRR Global), and Experiential Learning Design and Facilitation at Kaospilot, among others. Together, these experiences allow me to bridge academic insight with practical, transformative learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I design and deliver leadership and professional development programs that create meaningful, experience-based learning. Drawing on positive and organisational psychology, I support individuals and teams in building self-awareness, strengthening relationships, and translating insight into action. In my coaching and training, I create spaces for open dialogue, reflection, and experimentation\u2014combining evidence-based approaches with creativity, playfulness, and intuition to support lasting, positive change.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/chantalsoeters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/profielfoto-image-bw-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4497 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chantalsoeters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/profielfoto-image-bw-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/chantalsoeters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/profielfoto-image-bw-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/chantalsoeters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/profielfoto-image-bw-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/chantalsoeters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/profielfoto-image-bw-1024x1536.png 1024w, https:\/\/chantalsoeters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/profielfoto-image-bw.png 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-a8b1171954979966e07a556b0fbacdc3\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Are you curious about how I can&nbsp;help you, your team or your organization?&nbsp;<\/span> Contact me <a href=\"https:\/\/chantalsoeters.com\/index.php\/connect\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/chantalsoeters.com\/index.php\/connect\/\">now<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leadership &amp;
