Do you feel stuck or disconnected?

“Roel has a truly unique combination of technical brilliance, compassion, empathy, and ‘heart’. Roel’s energy and passion as a coach are inspiring, and his genuine interest in my personal growth was refreshing and something I have found lacking in my academic and professional career to date. Roel helped me gain perspective, build resilience, and develop tools that really helped me through a difficult ‘mid-life’ phase. I will definitely be back for more coaching as I encounter the inevitable hurdles that lie ahead, and would recommend to any scientist, engineer, or other professional who finds themselves struggling to find balance, meaning, or perspective to get in touch with Roel – you won’t regret it.”

“Roel is a good friend of burros.  I enjoy running at his side. He is steady and calm and faster than most humans I know – wheee! He knows I love peanut butter sandwiches and shares his with me. 5 out of 5 carrots.”!

“Our Institute invited Roel to speak with our faculty, students, and staff. The visit was an overwhelming success! Roel uses story and shared experiences to craft relatable messages that welcome participants. He has a heart for helping people, especially scientists, find joy and harmony in their life and work. You will be glad you invited him to collaborate with you.”

“Annette, why are you crying?” Such a simple question extended with the utmost compassion and empathy opened a flood of deep emotions. Through his questions, Roel helped me identify what I needed to do next to bring deeper meaning and purpose to my life. I am grateful for his impact on my life.

“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I really appreciate you, and what you have contributed to my life! You have expanded my perspectives and opened new possibilities with your keen insights. I am deeply grateful for your compassion and wisdom.”

“Roel is one of the few exceptionally gifted people that I know that has the rare combination of an outstandingly strong analytical and highly creative and intuitive mind on the one hand, and a highly empathetic, loyal and very loving character on the other. His ability to listen and quickly recognize what is the essence of the matter, and his overall well-balanced and pragmatic approach to live a life with meaning, has not only been very helpful and inspiring from a professional point of view, but it also taught me how to balance “living from the head as well as from the heart”. I highly recommend working with Roel as your coach, you will not regret it.”
