Expertise
I am a teacher and trainer on personal and professional development at the Faculty of Economics and Business and at the University Medical Centre Groningen (SCOPE). I develop and provide education on personal and professional development for undergraduate, masters and doctoral students and their supervisors. This includes training of competences such as team collaboration, critical reflection, and perspective taking. In particular, I focus on developing the ability to take a systemic view and face complexity. Our education is mainly based on experiential learning approaches..
My original background is in nutrition, epidemiology and public health research. After I obtained my PhD, I worked in several postdoc positions. Gradually I moved away from conducting research towards (programme) management and was involved in the set-up of a number of large research infrastructure projects like LifeLines. This experience made me convinced of the utmost importance of good collaboration skills and the ability to take a systemic perspective on projects, teams and organisations for successful and pleasant collaborations, inside and outside the academic setting. Being extensively trained in system dynamics in organisations and in systemic coaching at among others the Bert Hellinger Institute Netherlands and the Wieslocher Institute for Systemic Solutions (Germany), I now integrate these systemic approaches in my teaching. In addition, I am a qualified university teacher and senior coach.
Next to my function as teacher and trainer, I am engaged in research to strengthen our education on personal and professional development. I have initiated a line of research into systemic methods used in coaching, training, and education. With my research, I aim to contribute to our understanding of these methods and the development of an evidence-based practice.
