Hello! I’m Tineke, Career & Creativity Coach, Artist, never-only-read-one-book-at-a-time reader, and your ‘witchy best friend’ (real quote from a customer) during times of change
My journey
I spent 25 year in a corporate career, and spent 4 to 6 years getting out if it.
I now work as a Career & Creativity Coach, helping high-achieving, creative women feeling restless in their jobs transform their career with calm, creativity and confidence.
I am a multi-passionate. Someone with multiple passions, a multitude of skills, interests and lots of projects in various stages of completion.
I only found out I was a multi-passionate a few years ago.
It explained a thing or two about why I was feeling restless, unsettled, constrained.
It also explained why I felt most comfortable when I was dealing with change.
You see, I know a thing or two about change. Not only have I spent 13 years working as a Change Manager, supporting people through organisational and IT changes.
I also went through my own fair share of change. After 25 years of working in careers in real estate, community development and change management I've now landed myself firmly in career number 4, coaching.
(This is my Visual Bio - and yes, I can draw one for you too: Tell YOUR story)
In other words, I know first AND second hand the emotional roller coaster any change, but particularly a career change can be. I know how frustrating it can be to feel stuck in a career that no longer feels like you. I know how this feeling of 'Is this it?' can niggle away at you. How all you want is to create YOUR version of career freedom. Do ALL the things you want to do. Now and in the future.
But above all what I've learned is that there is no change without action! Because sitting on your sofa, trying to google your way to an answer is not how career change happens.
How I can help
Instead I have condensed my experience and knowledge of career change, managing personal change and women in the workplace into a structured programme helping you to create a career of FREEDOM, FLEXIBILITY and FULFILMENT, my Career Freedom programme.

But … I’m running ahead of myself.
You’re here! And that’s great.
So, let’s talk quickly about what you can expect.
This newsletter
This newsletter combines my blogs, my LinkedIn newsletter, my weekly newsletter AND my Book Reviews. All in one place.
I focus on those topics that I KNOW interest professional, high-achieving, but RESTLESS women at work. Women like YOU!
You can find ALL the blogs, newsletters etc I’ve written so far under Archive. But I’m also in the process of organising them so that they’re easier to find.
So, have a look at the ‘Tags’ page to navigate your way around. Categories include: Career Change, Body & Mind, Women & Equality, Creativity and Business & Leadership. Oh, and books, always books.
I will be posting a new newsletter every Friday (around 12 pm UK time) and will create a new Book Review as soon as I’ve finished the book (as I’m a voracious reader and have regularly got three books on the go, so this will be OFTEN!).
Soon I’ll also be exploring Notes and other features here on this platform.
So hang around! Explore. And let me know what you think.
Oh, and finally, YES, this is all FREE. However, if you would gladly be a paying reader for ALL the goodness I’m sharing, then subscribe and hit the Pledge your Support button.
