Experiences and results in practice
From insight to visible change in work and life
Chris Veldman
Learning & Development Manager Benelux | Mediamarkt
I was looking for a training agency with a different starting point from the "basic" leadership skills. I found that in In2Coaching. They developed a leadership programme that sets people in motion and makes them more aware of their behaviour and its underlying causes. The impact of this programme was immediately visible, as a result of which it was decided to roll out the programme further.
An important factor in the success was Roderick, the trainer/coach, who works in a pleasant and effective way. He makes contact easily and knows how to confront participants in a constructive way, creating real insights and growth. In addition, he is willing to think along and shifts gears quickly.
I highly recommend In2Coaching to anyone looking for an inspiring and impactful leadership programme.
Comments from participants:
"I thought it would be just another corporate bullshit training... but it was the opposite."
"Amazing. It profoundly changed my management style. I'm now much more connected to my decisions and choices with the team."
"This course gave me exactly the insights I needed to grow as a leader. I'd recommend it to our board."
"The training was intense, in a positive way, and gave me deep personal insights I can apply both at work and in life."
"Very insightful, with lots of practical tools I could apply right away, and a solid foundation of theory to continue growing."
Sam van der Veken
CRM & Loyalty manager | Mediamarkt
I started the programme without knowing exactly what I needed, but it turned out to come at exactly the right time. Roderick's sharp vision and personal approach gave me quick insight into old patterns such as insecurity and superficial communication. Now I am stronger in my leadership, have deeper conversations with my team and set clear boundaries both at work and privately. I used to run away from difficult conversations, now I initiate them with confidence. This programme not only gave me awareness, but also lasting tools to lead from strength and connection. Absolutely recommended to any leader who takes himself or herself seriously.

Managing director | STAWAG Energy
Initially, I doubted whether coaching would really help me further, but looking back, I see how much I have grown both as a father, partner and leader. Thanks to Roderick's guidance, I know better what I really find important and what I stand for, I make more conscious choices that contribute to this and I look for connection with the people around me more often. His approach is confrontational, but therefore effective. This programme has changed me permanently and I recommend it to anyone who wants to work seriously on themselves.

Roderick passionately took our team through the theory of personal leadership. Reactions varied from 'the most valuable training of the year' to 'really an eye-opener'. Definitely a recommendation.
Frank van Eck
Managing director | Baktec
What makes coaching so valuable is that I became aware of my behaviour and was actually able to make positive changes. I used to think I just worked a certain way without realising the effect it had on my colleagues.
Roderick asked just the right questions that made me think and helped improve my communication-not only at work, but also in my private life with family and friends. For me, work and private life are inextricably linked, and that is precisely where Roderick's strength lies. He exposes himself vulnerably, shares personal experiences and helps you end the day with more energy and satisfaction both at home and at work.
Bas Lieuwma
General Manager | Iberdeli
Jonas Six Dijkstra
Managing director | Care Force
"I was experiencing imbalance in my life where my work was always number one and I was stuck in old patterns."
Thanks to the coaching with Roderick, I have learned to recognise my triggers and make more conscious choices between work, family and myself. I experience a better (healthier) balance, much less stress, react less impulsively and function better both professionally and privately. His combination of business experience, sharp coaching and concrete assignments suit me well. I see coaching as an investment in yourself. If you feel you are stuck and are willing to take responsibility, I can absolutely recommend this programme. Finally, but just as important: Roderick is just a nice guy to work with.

Manager P&O | Mentally Better
Roderick is a driven and extremely powerful person. Roderick is someone who 'sees' people, a real people manager. I have enjoyed working with and for Roderick and definitely recommend him when it comes to projects in which culture change is central.
Adam Jooste
Financial director | Grapehub
Roderick has helped me realise the importance of connecting with myself and allowing myself to feel and articulate my fears and needs. For example, as an introvert I tend to want to be on my own, but on the other hand, I also have a strong need for connection with people. Striking the right balance of these needs is important for my happiness.
If you want to be a better, happier leader, I highly recommend connecting with Roderick. He brings, in my opinion, the right combination of knowledge, experience and compassionate approach that makes the coaching experience a must for your personal growth.
Anouk van der Linden
Owner | Let's get Leads
Coaching was nice and enlightening. Roderick responded well to what was going on with me at that moment. He came up with enlightening insights and practical tools to work with.
I found Roderick's knowledge of leadership combined with how he lives his own thinking very inspiring!
Roderick is a very nice coach. He listens well, is confrontational (sometimes a little less fun ;-)). He lives his own values, which I find very inspiring. Sometimes I felt I was talking to a good friend, nice and special.
Wendy Braat
Advisor Educational Quality | Stichting OBO
A new job, transition, a new phase of life and worries in the family caused considerable stress symptoms six months ago. I came home sick. After several weeks of physical recovery, I started coaching with Roderick. The biggest challenge was the turmoil and uncertainty in me. Roderick quickly saw what was going on and called me "Wendy go-go Braat," mirroring my behaviour within three minutes.
In the third conversation, he touched a nerve by saying I was making myself too important. This brought anger, but also a crucial breakthrough. I began to recognise my 'phishing' behaviour and the underlying need and was able to break through it, which was uncomfortable at first.
Using powerful metaphors, I learned what was happening inside me and how to use more conscious and helpful responses. The process is tough, but Roderick's reflection and guidance are indispensable. I greatly appreciate his open, honest and direct approach and can heartily recommend it.
Carel Jakobs
Marketing director | Grapehub
I did coaching with Roderick. I found the program insightful. The tools I got out of the program to apply to my business management style wasn't only useful in my business but also in my personal life.
Roderick has a unique way of observing. This skill enable you to bring out your qualities and work on your weaknesses.
School leader
The Singel
Roderick came across my path in July 2022 after I had the lid lifted on several areas in a short period of time. Separating mental focus between work and home no longer worked. I tried to control too much and became over-focused on work-related issues which also made me experience less and less fulfilment and satisfaction. Roderick really served as a clear, direct but very helpful mirror in this situation. He knew how to pierce through the patterns and behaviours that really got to the heart of the "pain". If you recognise yourself in this story, I would definitely recommend talking to Roderick. Especially if you are looking for an honest sparring partner who lets you find the answers to your questions yourself!

Thanks to Roderick from In2Coaching, I gained valuable insights and became aware of my behaviour and who I want to be as a person and a father. The sessions were packed with practical examples that helped me tremendously. What I particularly appreciated was the opportunity to raise personal challenges and work on them together.
Roderick has a great coaching style and helped me achieve my goals. His expertise and commitment are evident, and I always felt comfortable being open during sessions. Moreover, I am very grateful that I can always call him if I run into something.
I highly recommend In2Coaching to anyone looking for personal growth and development.
Dennis Dirkzwager
Managing Consultant Emeritor
Roderick helped me tremendously in just a few sessions. My coaching question was answered. Not through a ready-made answer, but by helping me gain insight into my drives and pitfalls. Through our conversations and the exercises he gave me, I am learning to recognise (increasingly early) which behaviours I am deploying. This recognition gives me the chance to choose whether this is the behaviour I want to deploy. Perhaps even more importantly, Roderick helped me look deeper than just behaviour. He has helped me connect with what I want (and don't want).
Hans Dussel
Head of Concern Purchasing | Municipality of Amsterdam
I started a coaching programme with Roderick. I had a job with a lot of pressure and tension and was gradually becoming more and more introverted and running in circles with my (negative) thoughts. Not as effective as before and unable to break the pattern myself. After the coaching sessions, I had more insight into my motives, my behaviour and underlying patterns. In this phase, I regained confidence in myself and in my feelings and I can use ratio and feelings in a more balanced way again. Roderick's calm but intensive and incisive approach has brought me a lot.
Ozgur Dogan
Strategic Advisor Quality Assurance | Municipality of Rotterdam
The experience I have had with Roderick in a personal coaching process is something no one will take away from me.
During the coaching, my current behaviour was scrutinised. As a result, I gained more self-knowledge. Since the programme, I also notice that I do everything with more feeling and attention. This creates so much more energy and life. I have become more conscious in what and why I do it. It is a path you have to experience: a life-changing experience.
Eddie Verhoeven
Business Controller | Netherlands Public Broadcasting
Coaching works! Roderick gave me insights that were often hidden just below the surface, but felt like a revelation to me. I felt I was not making progress in my career and invariably looked for the cause in someone else. Too often, I felt that others were setting my agenda. Together with Roderick, I looked at how I acted in situations, looking at underlying patterns and emotions. Now I have a better understanding of myself and know better where my needs lie. I feel more effective and in control of my agenda. I have not only helped myself, but also those around me - both professionally and privately! I can recommend it to everyone!
Michiel Kranendonk
Director owner | Kranendonk Property Maintenance
After attending a training course focused on personal development, I felt the need and desire to develop further after a few years. Being authentic, relaxed and happy is simply the goal. I achieve this by being critical of my own thoughts and behaviour and changing in these where it makes sense.
I did individual coaching with Roderick. He helped me very well, is sharp and critical when asking questions. Theoretically, he is strong and can convey this very well using examples - also from his own life. The contact was very pleasant, we laughed a lot. It gave me insights that I can use to good effect, I can recommend it to everyone!
Ezra den Broeder
Interim Corporate Recruiter | Bolidt!
Roderick guided me well in rediscovering myself. His professional and clear approach made me feel at ease in which his to-the-point communication, probing and intuition helped me enormously! I gained insight into who I am and want to be and what I want to change.
Gerard Pragt
Appraiser | municipality of Schiedam
I have come to know Roderick as a very experienced coach who can put his finger on the right spot. His working method is direct, according to agreements made and he is consistent in this. Roderick is involved in the process. In conversations, he holds up a mirror to you in order to achieve the objective. A warm personality with a sense of humour. Sporty, result-oriented and a professional coach with attention for the client.
Naomi Klomp
Procurement adviser | Servicepunt71
In2Coaching's growth programme has given me insights about myself and others. I learned to reflect on my own behaviour, patterns and situations. The awareness both in the workplace and privately has been extremely valuable to me. It has brought more peace, awareness and balance in my life and I can more easily stand up for my own needs.
Julia Westerbaan
Recruitment desk coordinator/Medior procurement advisor | Servicepunt71
The growth programme helps you get the best out of yourself and become aware of your own behaviour and situation. My way of looking at things has changed for the better. I experience much more peace, awareness and feel responsible for my own happiness.
Paul 't Hart
Director | InQuest
Roderick is an inspired coach who knows how to take people with his energy and motivate them to make important steps in their lives. He is also able to get to the core of people so that the changes are also permanent.
Bob Vos
ICT procurement consultant | Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment
In (only) six conversations, Roderick gave me insights into the underlying drivers of my functioning. These insights made me function better in my teams but also (much more importantly) in my family in a short time.
Nanieck Berger-Picket
Consultant | In2Talent
With the growth programme, you come to new insights about yourself and others. I learn to put them into practice immediately. As a result, I experience much more peace in my life and am now less likely to worry about things I cannot influence.
Daan de Vries
Procurement coordinator | SPAR International
Through coaching and training, Roderick has helped me understand my own behaviour and that of others. Furthermore, I have learned to understand why I deploy certain behaviours in situations. Becoming aware of this gives me a choice to do things differently. This gives me more peace of mind and more connection with myself and my surroundings. In2Coaching's growth programme has helped me become more of who I want to be instead of who I thought I should be.
Maartje Rietsema
Group director | Mercell
I am very pleased with Roderick's coaching. He knows how to ask sharp questions and put his finger on the proverbial 'sore' spot and creates a safe space for this. He then helps you move forward with concrete examples, advice and tools that are directly applicable in practice.
Irving Lieveld
Senior Consultant |
The NIC
I have had Roderick as a coach for many years. Over the years, with his help, I have come to understand myself better. Acknowledging, recognising and, from that awareness, coming to terms with myself more. Roderick keeps you on your toes, sees through things very quickly and, above all, is someone who is accessible. To me, these are essential skills for a coach with impact. Throw in a healthy dose of humour and you are ready to meet yourself.
Roy Vermolen
Procurement adviser | Servicepunt71
Roderick's coaching has contributed greatly to my self-awareness. Through his direct, honest and concrete approach, I learned a lot about myself in a short time and grew as a person. Roderick knows how to translate my story/thoughts into clear causes and makes me find solutions that I often hadn't thought of before.
Andel Ottevangers

CTM Solution
I recommend it to everyone! For me, the coaching process was very nice, it helped me to get a lot in line and to get more in touch with myself. I came to work on myself professionally, but I encountered the most on a personal level. That can be confronting. The conversations with the coach are very pleasant, Roderick asks the right things out. He always provides some theory, but also practical tips and exercises that you can start working with immediately. A good combination! I notice that I am much calmer and when things get busy in my head, I can find peace again more quickly.
Lois Veldheer
Account manager | Actos Talents
Since I started In2Coaching's growth programme via In2Talent, personal development and the awareness that goes with it have been a thread running through my life. Awareness can be confronting; it brings feelings and emotions to light that are not always pleasant, but at the same time are very instructive. And these teachable moments bring a lot of happiness and joy. It ensures my growth as a person and it contributes to my search for who I am and who I want to be for others, and for myself. From the first moment, I felt comfortable with Roderick and entrusted him with my personal and work-related challenges. He knew how to stimulate me with his questions and challenge me to get to the core. I look back very positively on our coaching and peer review sessions and am grateful for his contribution to my growth as a person.
Yvette Kortekaas
Consultant Business Development | Sodexo
The path to congruent behaviour to be as successful as possible. Learning to stand in your own power to gain and enjoy as much energy as possible. The (every day still) two most valuable topics that have stayed with me from my coaching process with Roderick. As a coach, Roderick is incisive, focused on people and on your own awareness. On to a successful change because it's not about your environment, but about yourself!
Justin Loomans
Tactical procurement advisor | Province of South Holland
A turning point in my life! I followed a personal development programme with Roderick and during this programme he was also my coach. From the very first moment, Roderick knew how to inspire me with his knowledge and experience of personal growth. Roderick also knew how to quickly create an environment where I felt comfortable. He helped me become aware of my own behaviour and to get the best out of myself, something I enjoy every day. I can recommend coaching with Roderick to anyone.
Ingrid van Hees
Teacher, coordinator | The Wingerd
The reason I started coaching was because I was putting too much pressure on myself, especially at work. Wanting to do well, not daring to say no, not asking for help, going on, on, on autopilot. Even during our first conversation, I noticed that Roderick mentioned things that hit the nail on the head. I found it clever that he saw through this so quickly. I liked the combination of the online course and the conversations. I received coaching/psychological help several times for the above struggles. For me, the difference was mainly that now we went more into certain patterns and how they once formed that way and to break them. That awareness made me less harsh on myself because I understood that it had a cause. I am now in the process of breaking those patterns and developing new ones.
Ramon Nieuwenhuizen
Director | Inkada
Roderick held up a mirror to me in a nice, powerful way, as a result of which I am now much more aware of my own communication style. I recognise my blueprint behaviour faster and can adjust accordingly. Roderick's coaching plants subtle seeds in my subconscious, which emerge at exactly the right moment and give me new insights. This makes it very clear to me how effective his approach is - it works through at a deeper level and helps me grow for a long time.
Lisa de Geest
Senior Procurement Consultant | In2Talent
In2Coaching comes highly recommended. Through coaching, training days and peer review, Roderick helped me find the peace in myself again and enjoy myself more. The conversations gave me insight into my own behaviour, but even more valuable: the actual need that lay underneath. Because of Roderick's background in business, he has meant a lot to me both privately and professionally, something I am very grateful for.
Ron van Engelen
Consultant / Team Leader | We Connect IT
I followed a coaching programme with In2Coaching under the guidance of Roderick and am very satisfied with the results. From the very first conversation I felt at ease and knew I was in good hands. Roderick listened carefully to my specific needs and offered valuable insights and practical tips to achieve my goals.
What I particularly appreciated was Roderick's personal approach. He took the time to really understand my situation and tailored the coaching sessions to what I needed. Thanks to his guidance, I now have more clarity about my goals and the steps I can take to achieve them.
I highly recommend In2Coaching and Roderick to anyone looking for professional and effective coaching.
Denise de Koeijer
Advisor Passive Education | OBO Foundation
I experience the coaching as very pleasant and instructive. Roderick is a coach who is reliable, open and honest. Responsibility is a central theme for me during the coaching. Which behaviours do I show and why are they not helping me.
I find the combination of the conversations with Roderick and the online learning environment very valuable, because you can increasingly link the theory and experiences to your own behaviour and consciously engage in your own development.
Ardi Hoogerbrug
Senior Demand & Supply Planner | Royal van Zanten
I got to know Roderick as a fine and expert coach who contributed greatly to my step-by-step reconnection with one of my children. With actual practical examples, Roderick was able to teach me enormously well how to reflect and put puzzle pieces in the right place.
Nothing was too crazy to discuss, which helped me build a bond of trust very quickly. I am extremely grateful to Roderick for his involvement in the coaching process! Should I find myself with complex issues again or get stuck privately/business-wise, I know who I will call
Sabrina Vermeulen
Team lead | Adjust
Roderick has helped Adjust and its employees develop further by providing coaching and training on personal and servant leadership.
My personal challenge in this trajectory has been to practice acting more authentically and giving (and receiving) feedback. In this I learned a lot during the programme with Roderick about my drives, blueprint behaviour (boundaries) and core qualities. And that it really only adds value if I keep acting from my strengths.
By letting you practice a lot and by asking the right in-depth, and sometimes confrontational, questions, Roderick helped me take further steps in my personal development.
Debbie van den Abeele
HR | Adjust
I had the privilege of being coached by Roderick, someone with an unparalleled knowledge of people. Even during the first conversations, he faultlessly knew what I was up against - and why. That sharpness, combined with sincere commitment, made me grow enormously, both personally and professionally.
What really made the difference for me was that he made me realise that I am the one in charge. That I can and may take control of my own life. Not only did that message stick, I immediately took it to heart. And the result: I can honestly say that I feel happier than ever before - partly thanks to his coaching.
Grateful for this experience and warmly recommended to anyone who wants to grow, deepen and know themselves on a deeper level.
Naomi Klomp
Senior procurement consultant | Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland
I have been following coaching for a long time and deliberately took this to my new employer. The reason is that a new environment brings new challenges and requires self-reflection.
In the beginning, I was barely aware of my own thoughts and behaviour. Why do I do things the way I do them? Why do I judge others? My biggest stumbling block was, above all, quickly getting a sense of guilt, the tendency to please or, on the contrary, put the responsibility on someone else.
Roderick is sharp and easily pierces through beautiful stories. He is direct and confrontational, and says exactly the things you may not want to hear, but which do help you move forward. An important learning moment for me was to be open to his feedback, because without that openness nothing will change in your behaviour or awareness.
I would definitely recommend Roderick as a coach. He is not only direct and knowledgeable, but also offers practical tools to really get started on your learning goal or problem. If you are willing to learn, he is guaranteed to help you take steps forward.
Wiebe van der Weerd
Director | Adjust
The coaching with Roderick has been of great value to me. Especially the guidance in reflection and asking critical questions about my behaviour and motivation (What do I really want?) have really helped me move forward. The open and confidential atmosphere was essential for me, and I am grateful that I was able to experience that with Roderick. I notice that I am better and more often able to listen to my feelings and act on them. Roderick gets to the heart of the matter quickly and knows how to discuss it in a pleasant and safe way, so that you can take concrete action. I highly recommend him.
Hadassa Bothof
UX Research Consultant | Braingineers
A year ago, I was running into some challenges at work. I was struggling to monitor my boundaries, was increasingly overworked, feeling a lot of tension and was no longer in control of my emotions.
I felt like I was just running harder to meet the expectations of others and myself.
It was very nice to zoom in on (work) situations with Roderick, asking me sharp but justified questions. This gave me insight into the role I play myself, how I can regulate things internally and how I can get a better grip on situations and my emotions. Roderick took the time to dive with me into unconscious behaviour and patterns that were by no means just work-related.
Between talks, I was able to get started with practical tips, exercises and reading valuable books. Thank you Roderick for helping me get a better grip on my life, both at work and privately!
