All About Talent

Marjan is an executive coach I have worked with over a longer period of time on my personal development and effectiveness as a senior HR leader. She has the ability to gently and at the same time persistently keep you focused on how to unleash your potential by breaking down your own internal barriers. Her vast experience and highly professional coaching skillset creates a dynamic between coach and coachee that feels safe, comfortable and at the same time stretches your thinking, emotional mindset and challenges your own biases and beliefs to increase your self awareness and leadership effectiveness. Always with a sincere human touch and a heart felt duty of care. She helps you to look in the mirror with compassion for yourself and others. It has helped me to develop my leadership skills more well rounded but most of all to work from the right balance of energy, and the powerful combination of head and heart. I would recommend leaders who are ready to jump into a personal development journey to connect with Marjan.

The organization around me was changing rapidly and threats and opportunities presented themselves simultaneously. To deal effectively with this new world, I felt a strong need to test my experiences externally. Previous meetings with Marjan had taught me that she asked the right questions and looked for opportunities that suited me. In addition, she did not shy away from challenges. An excellent match for me! Marjan delves into your situation, the considerations that are made at different levels, the position you take and the changes you could bring about. Thanks to her support, I have been able to successfully anticipate the dynamics in my working environment and seize opportunities in recent years. I also learned to use my energy better and to create the necessary distance myself at regular intervals, in order to ultimately achieve a better result. Marjan's strength is that she can use different styles situationally and draws on a wealth of knowledge and experience. That makes every conversation valuable and supportive, regardless of what goal you are pursuing.

I decided to be coached by Marjan when I was considering a job change. I can not be more happy about that decision. She helped me to walk thru my internal barriers, provided light to my motivations and expectations, allowed me to find words to clarify my priorities, teached me to break challenge into manageable steps... and what it is very important: she provided me with the tools to allow me for a continuous self awareness and learning. Marjan helps to find YOUR answers by asking you the right questions. Only a very professional and experienced person is able to do so in such a dedicated and accessible way. Certainly recommended to others!

I approached Marjan because her website already shows that she puts the client first. She helped me modernize my CV and LinkedIn profile, which had a noticeable effect. In addition, our conversations clearly contributed to my preparation for the job applications. Partly because of this, I radiate self-confidence and professionalism in the conversations I have, which has led to the next steps in my career.

The Talent VIP day was particularly valuable for me to gain more insight into and become more aware of my actions in practice. This 1:1 coaching was more than just receiving advice and assignments. I have been challenged in my thinking and actions and have gained many insights, especially how I can submit and get through proposals more effectively. Marjan could empathize with my situation, acted independently and provided meaningful, clear feedback. It was a fairly intensive day in which I learned enough to be able to continue on my own. Marjan is a motivating and inspiring coach; there was a click. This definitely made it easier to fully open up that day.

I was two years out of a divorce with two children and feeling like I just couldn’t make it back into the world of work. I have to admit that I am often sceptical about these sorts of things but Marjan was what I needed! Since meeting with her I have developed more focus and belief in myself, successfully re-entered the job market and started paving a career for myself. It can be possible – A Brand New Me! Marjan, many thanks from the UK, for all your insight.

Marjan helped me distance myself from my previous position and employer. I could calmly discuss my mixed feelings and insecurities with her. Through her guidance in the process and positive approach, I regained confidence in my strengths and became clear about how I prefer to work. This allowed me to specifically investigate different options and speeded up my orientation tour. I also wanted a better work life balance; I gained insight into my time use and more control over my time and concentration. Marjan gave me the input and encouragement I needed. I am really enjoying my new job, I am closer to the patients and the content of the profession, and I can enjoy my family more. It was good to use the time between 2 jobs with a well-tailored program and pleasant conversations.

To become Chairman of a Retail Real Estate association was quite a challenge. As a senior I decided to enhance my talents for my own sake, rather than for any employer. Marjan helped me focus on my issues and was my sounding board from the start for networking, meetings and a new vision. Through our mapping discussions I got clarity and a sense of purpose. New opportunities lifted me to the next level and Marjan’s smart Talent Approach enables me to take part now in whatever comes my way in the Real Estate business. Marjan, thanks for your enthusiasm and clever support.

If you are a stubborn professional looking for a peer coach, you know that it will not be easy; you organize your own contradiction, as it were. Then you have come to the right place at Marjan Schneider. Marjan does this attentively and thoroughly and above all: with humor! I felt taken seriously, especially because I received relevant feedback in a friendly and critical tone. That creates order. Marjan works in a structured way, she moves along if there is a delay and then monitors the focus on the goal, my desired result. She spices all this up with creative and practical suggestions, not only regarding the content, but also the design of my offer.

Marjan Schneider has been of great support for me as an executive coach in the past year and it has been an absolute pleasure working with her. As a highly professional coach Marjan helped me to further understand my intrinsic motivations, strengths & how to nurture leadership skills. I would best describe her as coach who is extremely experienced on all levels of a corporate organization, has a good understanding of the work & power fields and knows when to ask the right questions, challenge you and make you think & reflect about the bigger picture. I would highly recommend Marjan as an Executive coach to anyone who wants to progress in their management development journey to further unleash your potential.
