Muriel Schrikkema: “I have been getting a lot of energy from activities focused on ‘learning and development’ of people for more than twelve years now. Through Direction I design and facilitate many learning and development projects within organizations.

I started my career in the care sector where I was able to gain practical experience in the ‘soft’ side of work. I then started to explore the ‘tougher’ side in business. Within both the training industry and the automotive industry I have developed and facilitated learning programs, both nationally and internationally, within a dynamic goal-oriented and political force field. I have been exploring my entrepreneurial side since 1999 by creating Directions together with Marco Schreurs and Esther Mollema. Since then this is where I focus on leadership and Team Development.

I am a qualified psychologist and have completed several certificate courses, such as NLP Practitioner, Personal Coach, Management Drives ®, Real Drives trainer ®, and trainer and supervisor in Systemic work. In addition I am the founder of the Direction Foundation ‘Finding Your Voice’. I have gained much relevant experience in the business sector, including measuring and guiding specific behaviors and cultures within organizations. The combination of my background, training and experiences ensure that I enjoy become the sparring partner of key decision makers in business and in government institutions.”

How can I shape my career and position myself more effectively, so that my talents are put to better use? What do I want? What suits me? How do I make my input at work more visible? Where is my balance between work and private life? What are my personal qualities, blind spots and pitfalls?

Team Development and Organizational Development: Questions about diversity, communication, and collaboration for example.
How should you manage a diverse and / or cohesive team? What degree of flexibility is best? How do you tune individual ambitions and drives to organizational objectives?
