About the owner:

32 years, five paragraphs.

Hey! I am Stevanne. People describe me as authentically curious, resilient and an optimist at heart. I’m a sister, expat, proud aunt, (grand)daughter, trainer, coach, hypewoman, biological catmom, friend and solo traveler.

I LOOOOVE the mountains, which is perhaps ironic, as I grew up in the (flat) Netherlands. I’m from Rotterdam, a city known for always changing, and that's a big part of who I am too. I believe in the saying, "The only constant is change," which means I'm continuously looking to evolve.

Dora the explorer

My path is about growing and discovering new things. I've called France, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic my home. Living and working abroad sparked my interest in how people behave and communicate in different cultures.

At 21, I kicked off my consultancy career at Accenture, one of the world's largest service providers. This was just the beginning. I continued to broaden my horizons by working at acclaimed firms, improving my skills and learning a lot about various industries.

My fascination with human behaviour reached a new height, as I plunged into the world of behaviour change at the Krauthammer Academy in Brussels, where I got certified as a Behaviour Change Expert and Trainer. This journey has not only made me stronger but also prepared me to help others grow and evolve.

What’s in it for you?

I have gathered my 10+ years of consultancy expertise, including having facilitated over hundreds of training and coaching programs, workshops and events, inspiring many of my clients to create new meaningful changes in their life. I am excited for you to experience my proven 3-step system to help you turn your aspirations into achievements.

This is my story, what is yours?

I'm extremely curious!
