Timmermans Consulting focuses on result-oriented growth for executives, managers, politicians and their staff.
Using the knowledge and experiences from working with 6 languages in different European company cultures, both within the public and private sector, I recognise the challenges our international and globalized world confront us with.
We provide:
International Communication & Coaching
2 reasons to improve your skills in this area:
- Want to improve your personal performance or support further development of your staff’s interpersonal communication skills?
If we increase individuals’ and teams’ communication awareness, we will create more organisational effectiveness. - Want to adapt to globalization? Our globalised world requires us to act, preferably in a smooth manner, with other nationalities when we’re working in or with international companies. Even if we ”meet” through the English language, we still have our own cultural background and company culture. We simply think and act in different ways. Improving these skills and attitudes cross-cultural leads to clear communication.
Coaching, what do we offer?
Individual coaching: supporting executives, middle level managers, entrepreneurs and their staff at all levels. We bring a different perspective into a professional or private situation.
Team Coaching: creating awareness on both an individual and team level. Your staff will want to take on more responsibility and automatically improve results.
NEW!
Real Time Coaching:
Today, as times have changed, we no longer work from 9 to 5.
Working a few hours in the evening, the weekend or even during our holidays is quite common and equally productive.
Then you sometimes need assistance ”here and now”, for example to:
– control-read your blog posts, FB-, twitter-messages etc before publication
– prepare a conversation you plan to have with a colleague, a staff member, an employee..
– go through a draft of a letter, a mailing to distributors, to other contacts..
– ventilate your thoughts on a strategy implementation, a conflict situation..
– discuss international communication matters..
– other matters where you need a sounding board..
Then you are most welcome to contact me!
For a fixed monthly sum related to the number of hours you choose per month, you will get assistance when it suits YOU most!
Coach Attendance at meetings: The coach, being a neutral person, makes a useful contribution by attending team and departmental meetings, management meetings etc. By listening and reading between the lines the coach might widen views and perspectives and help the group create different approaches to a subject.
International Coaching: Individual coaching in the respective languages are interspersed with team coaching in, for example, English. Each individual will have the opportunity to have their own personal coaching session in their native language. This, in turn will give the coach valuable information in preparation of the team meeting to be held in English. As every meeting participant has had the opportunity to talk straight from their own reality, the coach can take this into consideration during the team meeting.

Misperception or misunderstandings at work?
Conflicts and misunderstandings emerge in any company.
In multinational companies, underlying problems created by misperceptions due to different backgrounds and languages, are even more frequent.
The good thing is though: Conflicts are the engine for change.. that is, if they are well taken care of!
