You already speak Dutch. But when it really matters, leading a team, giving feedback, and making your point, it still feels uncomfortable.
“Speaking Dutch” is not the same as leading, connecting and being taken seriously in Dutch. And no standard language course will fix that.
I help you bridge the gap between functional language skills and confident, authentic leadership in Dutch. Together, we focus on the skills, strategies, and cultural insights you need to stop holding back, and start showing up fully, in Dutch and with the Dutch.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
