What leaders say
What sets Loes apart is the combination of a structured, deeply analytical mind and real emotional depth and warmth. She reaches you both intellectually and at a soul level.
What sets Loes apart is the combination of a structured, deeply analytical mind and real emotional depth and warmth. She reaches you both intellectually and at a soul level, creating the openness that real inner work requires — and the result is real growth, real insight, and a lot of genuine joy.
Loes is genuinely one of a kind — meeting you on every level: psychological, business, and spiritual, with a rare mix of warmth and toughness exactly when you need it.
Loes is genuinely one of a kind — meeting you on every level: psychological, business, and spiritual, with a rare mix of warmth and toughness exactly when you need it. She helped me see that scaling is never just a business challenge — it’s personal too, about staying true to your direction while letting go of what worked yesterday before it holds you back tomorrow. If you’re leading through rapid growth, working with Loes doesn’t just change how you lead your business — it changes how you lead yourself.
Loes coaches in a personal and deeply involved way. She managed to pull us out of our comfort zone as a management team and create an atmosphere in which we dared to be vulnerable.
Working with Loes has brought me a great deal, both as a member of the management team and personally.
Loes coaches in a personal and deeply involved way. She managed to pull us out of our comfort zone as a management team and create an atmosphere in which we dared to be vulnerable. Because of that, we got to know each other’s backgrounds better, we developed more understanding for one another, and as a team we were able to work together and strengthen each other far more effectively.
Just as valuable is what the coaching has given me personally. Loes helped me see that I am sometimes too hard on myself. It’s a trait that has taken me far, but one that can also get in my way. She let me experience that fears and insecurities are part of everyone’s life, and taught me — through journaling, among other things — to recognise limiting thoughts and turn them into positive ones.
I look back on our collaboration with great appreciation. Loes is sincere, committed and dependable. Both the team sessions and the personal one-on-one sessions have helped me grow as a person and in my personal leadership, during my first role as CFO at Recharge.com.
One thing that really stands out from our work together is how she helped our leadership team build trust. She designed a program that encouraged us to be vulnerable with each other.
I’ve worked with Loes in various capacities over the past nine years at Recharge, from individual coaching and leadership team development to helping us build a stronger middle management layer. During that time, Recharge grew from a startup into a successful scale-up, culminating in the Coda exit. Loes worked with us through several stages of that growth, supporting us with the leadership and organisational challenges that came with it.
What I value about Loes is that she understands what it takes to build a successful business, and the role people play in making that happen. She looks beyond roles and responsibilities to understand how people think, what drives them and what gets in the way of working well together.
One thing that really stands out from our work together is how she helped our leadership team build trust. She designed a program that encouraged us to be vulnerable with each other and share things we might not normally talk about at work. This helped create a safe environment where we could have more open and honest conversations, challenge each other and really listen to different perspectives. It made a real difference in how we worked together as a team.
I’ve also experienced the value of Loes’s approach myself through individual coaching. She’s genuine and warm, but also willing to ask the difficult questions and challenge you to look at things you might find easier to avoid. That combination is what makes her such a valuable coach, both for individuals and for teams.
I would recommend Loes to any organisation or leadership team where trust, open communication and strong collaboration are essential to success.
Loes has a very unique and powerful combination of competence (deep psychological expertise), passion that comes from her heart, and a structured mind/approach that allows for uncommon results and transformations.
I have known Loes for years — through the Argonauts community, and across many different groups and events since then: transformational retreats, leadership team sessions and a variety of other group settings.
From all these interactions and collaborations, what struck me the most about Loes was the unique combination of traits and capabilities that she possesses and brings to the situation. She has a very unique and powerful combination of competence (deep psychological expertise), passion that comes from her heart, and a structured mind/approach that allows for uncommon results and transformations to be achieved both at the personal level and the group or team level. This allows her to build on the collective experience and strengths of the group, leading them to become even better, more collaborative and innovative. I have seen this in how she helped my extremely diverse (functionally, culturally, regionally and gender) Innovation Team in a prior role get to the next level of performance and leadership.
I can wholeheartedly recommend her as a coach and/or facilitator for individuals or teams that are looking to transform themselves for the better and to achieve their potential.
Loes looks at the bigger picture of what we want to achieve as an organization or as individuals, and is really good at curating the right program, always focusing on the real take-home value for participants.
I have had the pleasure of working with Loes in a variety of settings: executive leadership sessions, one-on-one coaching, developing broader leadership and personal growth programs, and also YPO-related forum work on bespoke retreats covering several topics. For me, Loes has the capability and versatility to offer a broad scope of facilitation and guidance. I appreciate that she looks at the bigger picture of what we want to achieve as an organization or as individuals. She is then really good at curating the right program, always focusing on the real take-home value for participants. On top of that, Loes brings a pleasant energy to the room; everyone is quickly at ease, and she creates an environment of openness and sharing, which is very stimulating and helpful for the outcomes. I highly recommend working with Loes if you get the chance.
What makes her stand out is her genuine and personal approach. She has this great ability to create an environment where people feel safe, can truly be themselves and feel comfortable opening up and challenging themselves.
We worked with Loes on several (personal) leadership development programmes and I couldn’t recommend her enough!

The feedback from our participants was unanimously positive, and more importantly, we really saw them grow. Not just as leaders, but also on a personal level, which I think is just as important!
On top of that, she’s simply a great person to work with. She thinks along, understands what an organisation needs and brings her own authentic approach to everything she does.
A wonderful person who genuinely makes an impact.
