Miriam's excellence lies in her ability to quickly analyze clients and the situation they are in and to visualize those in metaphors. She creates a comfortable environment and listens carefully to the abundance of information provided after which she extracts the relevant information, which she reproduces in metaphors that are worth a thousand words. Miriam's unique way of working with metaphors allowed me to instantly recall discussions about my personal characteristics and behavior patterns and to address them accordingly whenever they arise. The dialogues with Miriam also build up my confidence. I strongly believed that only managers who are able to convince everyone are successful. Hence I constantly penetrated people with my opinion and did not give up until everyone followed my idea. As a result I rather lost people than won them over. Miriam coached me how to have confidence in myself and my visionary strength without the need to please everyone. This helped me to become less vulnerable to and independent of other people's opinion on my way forward. The tasks Miriam provided me with to address my behavioral patterns in my daily work where very pragmatic and helped me to break new ground step by step. This way I experienced how the world positively reacted around me by simply changing a few things in the interaction with my team, peers or manager. I very much enjoyed working with Miriam and would recommend her to anyone in need to beef up one's confidence or to change long lasting behavioral patterns!

I started working with Miriam from a place of unease, facing many challenges at home and at work. As I couldn’t come up with ‘the one’ issue that was holding me back (it felt more like a complex web), Miriam was quick to turn my mumbled thoughts into a crisp and sensible narrative. She has an uncanny ability to make sense of complexity and to articulate in clear and simple terms what a client is struggling with and could benefit from. My journey with Miriam was not easy – breaking long-held habits requires courage – but what stays with me is the warmth, empathy, encouragement, advice, a helping hand along the way. There were many lightbulb moments in my discussions with Miriam – ingrained practice or hurdles that should have been so obvious but weren’t (until Miriam pointed them out), images that inspired me to change, ‘muscles’ that once exercised can deliver magic. I am so grateful to Miriam for taking me on this journey, I am a much improved version of myself today.

Miriam is never judgmental but often questions longstanding ideas and provides a new angle to a problem. Working on problems with her felt like taking a shortcut in life. I would have probably needed years to figure out these things on my own.

"Miriam has the gift to make you feel at ease immediately. She provides a space for you to take distance from your daily routine and think problems through. Working on problems with her felt like taking a shortcut in life. I would have probably needed years to figure out these things on my own. I loved working with Miriam and can absolutely recommend her to anyone who likes a practical and solution-oriented coaching approach."
