Karolien Koolhof

As a child, I wanted to become a writer, but I eventually started my career as a journalist. In that role, I was always searching for the story behind the person and loved diving deep. My time as a journalist also taught me how to ask the right questions.

In that role, I also faced my introverted side. People often questioned it, which made me doubt myself. I thought that doing an intensive management program would surely fix it.

That was the beginning of a journey of self-discovery, which eventually led me, in 2019, to start my own business as a coach and trainer. It was also the moment I learned that I am gifted.

In my practice, I coach introverts and gifted individuals to better navigate their daily challenges, such as visibility, self-image, and assertiveness. I like to go deep, addressing things at their core.

Additionally, I give workshops and training sessions and coach teams to help them gain more insight into their similarities and differences. By understanding each other better, collaboration often becomes much smoother.
