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.

Hoe meer ik leerde, hoe ingewikkelder het leek te worden. Tijdens de trajecten met Roderick vielen de puzzelstukjes eindelijk op hun plek.

Ik begrijp nu beter waarom ik in bepaalde situaties reageer zoals ik doe en herken mijn patronen sneller. Daardoor spreek ik mezelf vaker uit, geef ik beter mijn grenzen aan en ervaar ik meer rust en energie.

Roderick geeft haarscherp terug wat hij ziet en hoort, zonder zweverig of belerend te zijn. Hij legt de vinger op de zere plek en je voelt dat hij je echt ziet.

Het mooiste is dat het niet voelt alsof ik iemand anders word, maar juist steeds dichter kom bij wie ik altijd al was.

Jarenlang had ik allerlei puzzelstukjes waarvan ik geen idee had wat ze uiteindelijk moesten vormen. Elke training, workshop, webinar en andere vorm van informatie leverde weer een nieuw puzzelstukje op. Maar hoe meer ik leerde, hoe ingewikkelder het leek te worden.

Twee jaar geleden in het eerste traject met Roderick vielen voor het eerst een aantal puzzelstukjes op hun plek. Ik begon beter te begrijpen waarom gesprekken vaak niet verliepen zoals ik wilde en waarom het belangrijk was om iets te doen met dat rotgevoel dat ik zo goed kende. Ik snapte beter waarom ik mijn blauwdrukgedrag inzette en leerde het steeds vaker herkennen.

Mijn wereldbeeld veranderde en langzaam veranderde mijn gedrag mee. Van alles wat ik heb geleerd, ben ik misschien wel het meest blij met mijn ontwikkeling op het gebied van luister- en gespreksvaardigheden en het herkennen van mijn blauwdrukgedrag. Het mooiste vind ik misschien nog wel dat ik dit persoonlijke ontwikkeling noem, terwijl het vooral voelt alsof ik steeds een beetje meer mezelf word. Niet iemand anders, maar juist dichter bij wie ik altijd al was.

Na het eerste traject ben ik zelfstandig verder gegaan met de handvatten die ik had gekregen, ik had stappen gemaakt en herkende steeds beter wat ik nog anders wilde gaan doen. Juist daarom ben ik heel blij dat ik ook het vervolgtraject met Roderick heb gevolgd.

Ik ben enorm onder de indruk van zijn vermogen om, zonder zweverig of belerend te zijn, haarscherp terug te geven wat hij ziet en hoort. Hij weet precies de vinger op de zere plek te leggen en denkt mee over waar gedrag werkelijk vandaan komt. Je voelt dat hij je echt ziet. Dat heb ik nog maar bij weinig mensen ervaren.

Na een periode van extra onrust, waarin ik ineens van alles begon te voelen, leer ik nu steeds beter mijn grenzen kennen en aangeven. Ik spreek mezelf vaker uit, stel vragen die ik vroeger voor me hield en durf steeds vaker ruimte in te nemen. Ik ervaar ondertussen veel meer rust in hoofd en lichaam, wat me ook minder energie kost.

Het mooiste van alles is misschien wel dat ik steeds meer word wie ik eigenlijk altijd al bedoeld was te zijn. Iemand van wie ik ooit afscheid had genomen om mezelf veilig te houden. Nu leer ik een nieuwe vorm van veiligheid, met andere normen, grenzen en standaarden dan ik jarenlang gewend ben geweest.

Ik heb nog genoeg stappen te zetten; ik herken en erken steeds vaker wanneer ik een grens wil aangeven. En als dat nog niet lukt, is dat ook oké. Ik leg de lat niet meer zo hoog dat ik hem toch nooit kan halen. Geen onrealistische verwachtingen meer van mezelf, maar elke dag en elke week weer een klein stapje vooruit. De contouren van de puzzel zijn duidelijk geworden.

Ik kan Roderick van harte aanbevelen aan iedereen die niet alleen meer inzicht wil krijgen in zichzelf, maar ook bereid is echt naar zijn eigen gedrag te kijken. Zijn begeleiding heeft mij niet veranderd in iemand anders, maar juist geholpen om steeds dichter bij mezelf te komen.

Roderick is a very fine coach and has meant a lot to me. He listens critically and quickly recognises certain patterns. He is clear in his communication and immediately provides tools to work with yourself, your pitfalls and your own behaviour. Because he confronted me with my own behaviour, I now recognise this in myself and in others. I can apply his tips and advice very well in daily life.

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.

Under the guidance of Roderick (In2Coaching), I gained insight into my behaviour, who I am and who I want to be. This benefits me on a daily basis, both personally and professionally. The open discussions and practical examples enable me to reflect and take further steps. I have learned to recognise and break through patterns, and although the latter is not always without struggle, I have developed a mindset through coaching that is resilient enough to deal with it. I also experience more fun, energy and peace in the things I do. I am therefore very grateful to Roderick and find him extremely valuable as a coach!

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.

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!

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!

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).

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

After the introductory meeting with Roderick (In2Coaching), it became clear to me how valuable a coaching process can be. Namely that you learn how to deal with problems you are facing in a different, more proactive way. Through these sessions in which Roderick listens and asks sharp (read also: confrontational) questions, I gained more insight into my behaviour. The personal growth I have made as a result is reflected in my daily life. I recommend everyone to start a coaching session with In2Coaching.

Roderick's professional coaching has enabled me to further develop myself personally. I have really made great strides in both my private and business life by using self-steering and taking responsibility from awareness. This is really worth gold to me and I am enormously grateful for all the beautiful insights. I followed the Conscious Fatherhood training and this brought me even closer to my child. In a pleasant setting with the trainer and other fathers, it feels like a safe environment to learn with and from each other. The tools provided are easy to apply in practice and, in my case, have led to even better interaction with my son. It has brought me further as a father and I grant this experience(s) to every father!

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.

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.

Before I started the coaching process with Roderick, I thought certain traits were just part of me and could not be changed. For instance, I found it difficult to be really honest and direct and to set my boundaries.

During the process, I took concrete steps every month. I have now done things I would not have dared to do a year ago. There is more balance in my work and I now spend my time on what really gives me energy.

Roderick gets to the core quickly and uncovers underlying patterns. He is direct and names what is needed, without beating around the bush. At the same time, his humour and way of working keep it pleasant and professional.

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!

At first, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from coaching, as my previous experiences hadn’t always been a good fit. What made the difference for me here was the calm and personalised approach, combined with the right insights at the right moments. Thanks to the coaching, I’m recognising my behaviour and patterns more and more quickly and gaining a better handle on situations. Because it’s done in a safe and relatable way, I can actually put it into practice. I would definitely recommend this coaching to anyone who wants to work on themselves in a conscious way.

To be honest, at first I wasn’t sure whether coaching would work for me. I’d been on programmes before and found that they didn’t always meet my needs at the time. That’s why I was a bit more cautious about it.

At the same time, I had been dealing with certain patterns in my behaviour for quite some time; I felt they stemmed from somewhere, but I didn’t really have a clear understanding of where exactly. This sometimes meant that I kept my distance when interacting with others.

What made the difference for me was the coaching style. No pressure or rigid approach, but rather calm, attention and space, combined with moments when I was held up a mirror. During the first session, insights quickly emerged that I hadn’t really considered before. That was sometimes confrontational, but in a way that felt safe and helpful. Because of that, I was able to really let it in.

Thanks to the coaching, I’ve become much more aware of my behaviour and the patterns behind it. Whereas I used to only realise things in hindsight, I now recognise them much more quickly. We’re now working together on the next step: spotting them sooner and responding to them more consciously.

That gives me a clearer overview, a sense of calm, and the feeling that I’m more in control of situations that used to happen automatically.

I would definitely recommend this coaching to people who want to take a personal look at themselves and take steps in that direction. Not because it follows a standard approach, but precisely because it is genuinely tailored to who you are and what you need.

The combination of insight, recognition and a gentle approach to guidance ensures that I take steps that are meaningful to me.

“Rationally speaking, I was already aware of many of these insights. For me, the challenge wasn’t knowing what to do, but actually putting it into practice. That’s precisely where Roderick’s coaching programme made a huge difference for me.”

At work, I’m less distracted, I stay more focused, and my work takes less energy because I’ve started setting clear boundaries.

I also recognise the signs of stress much sooner and have a better idea of how to regain my calm and keep things under control.

The programme has also been very beneficial in my personal life, particularly in my relationship with my son, as I’ve become better at letting go and he now comes to me himself when he needs help. What I particularly appreciate about Roderick is that he gets straight to the heart of the matter, asks incisive questions and immediately puts insights into practice. The programme has given me greater peace of mind, confidence and awareness, both professionally and personally.

I found the coaching programme extremely valuable.

What it has taught me, above all, is to keep my feet firmly on the ground more often. To pause, reflect on what’s happening, and actually give things a go.

For me, one of the biggest changes has been at work. In the past, colleagues would constantly pop in with questions and tasks. Now I simply close my door and say: ‘Pop round at the end of the day.’ Rationally, you might know that, but actually doing it is what makes the difference. As a result, I’m less distracted, I stay focused, I finish sooner and it takes less energy.

The programme has also helped me to recognise the signs of stress much earlier. I used to see that tightness in my chest mainly as something that just happened to me. Now I recognise it as a warning sign. I sit down for a moment, see what’s really going on and fall back on what I already know: making a plan works for me. And the realisation that things have always turned out fine in the past helps me to stay calmer and have more confidence.

The programme has also been very beneficial in my personal life, particularly in my relationship with my son. I used to often sense when things were about to go wrong and would then step in to help, sort things out or prevent them from happening. Now I let go more often. That can be difficult at times and really takes some effort, but the great thing is that he now comes to me himself when he gets stuck. He calls, texts or comes to see me. I see that as one of the greatest benefits of the programme.

What I really appreciated about Roderick is that he gets straight to the heart of the matter. He lets you speak for a moment, but then asks incisive questions that bring you back to what really matters. He quickly sees through the surface and makes insights immediately actionable. I also found the summaries after the sessions very valuable, as they consistently clarified what the essence was.

I am very grateful for the programme. It has given me greater peace of mind, confidence and self-awareness, both at work and at home.

At the start, I often wondered whether I was doing the right thing. Between sessions, I sometimes even felt more anxious and thought: ‘What have I got myself into?’

However, the programme has helped me get to know myself much better, and I now have a much clearer understanding of what I need and how to deal with it. I still use these insights every day; I regularly find myself in situations where I immediately think back to what we discussed.

In particular, realising that uncertainty and resistance are part and parcel of growth has helped me enormously. I’ve gained a solid foundation that will serve me well for years to come, and I would certainly recommend this programme to others.

At first, I really wasn’t sure if I was doing the right thing. Between sessions, I sometimes felt even more anxious and often found myself thinking: ‘What have I got myself into? Should I really be doing this?’ I felt as though my problems were getting worse because everything was suddenly being talked about.

Looking back, I realise that this was a normal part of the process, but at the time I found it quite difficult.

Before I started the programme, my main issue was that I didn’t have a clear enough understanding of my own needs and patterns. I knew I wanted to make changes in my life, but I wasn’t sure exactly what or how.

Throughout the process, I’ve got to know myself much better. I now have a clearer idea of what I need, where my boundaries lie, and how I can consciously deal with them. A good example is our upcoming wedding.

I never used to think of deliberately setting aside time to relax, simply because I didn’t realise I needed it. Now I do recognise that need and can take it into account.

What I found particularly valuable was that the insights didn’t just stay with me during the sessions. I still regularly hear things being mentioned that were discussed during the sessions. In everyday life, I suddenly think: “Oh yes, this is exactly the kind of situation we talked about.” That allows me to react and make choices much more consciously.

It also helped enormously to hear that the unease and resistance I felt at the start are actually part of personal growth. From that moment on, the process became much easier to understand, and I noticed that the unease gradually subsided.

I’m glad I embarked on this journey. It has given me a solid foundation that will benefit me for the rest of my life, both personally and in my relationships with my partner, my family and the people around me. It has been incredibly beneficial to me and I would definitely recommend this programme to anyone who wants to understand themselves better and make lasting changes in their life.
