impact through calm and clarity

The world isn’t getting any quieter. The question is no longer when the calm will return, but how you learn to navigate while everything around you keeps moving.

I support new generation leaders to stand their ground and change the system. 

Whether it’s an old boys boardroom dynamic, a stuck conversation with your partner, the general restlessness of the world or an important choice at a crossroad: I help you navigate from your own anchor.

the practice

On average, your nervous system triggers a stress response eight times a day. Your heart rate rises, your rational brain goes offline, and you enter ‘fight-or-flight’ mode. In this state, you aren’t making consious choices, you are reacting, often not at your best.

This audio practice (the 3N Practice) I often use with coaching clients to shift their system from stress mode back to more intentional calm, in 8 minutes.

coaching

For when you are done with ’the old game.’ I guide you 1-on-1 to hold your seat at the table without losing yourself in the process.

How we work:

  • Somatic: Recognize your triggers and regulate your nervous system.

  • Systemic: Gain insight into the hidden dynamics of your organization or relationships.

  • Relational: Communicate with impact from a calm heart and a clear head.

about me

Having guided leaders and entrepreneurs at organizations like Spotify, Bain & Company, and Volvo, I understand the pressure of high-performance environments. My time living in Sweden shaped my vision around equality and balance: I believe making an impact is only sustainable if you can also be a present partner/parent and you can bring your full potential to work.

I don’t offer quick fixes. My approach is rooted in a solid foundation of science, intuitive wisdom and real conversations:

  • Certified Professional Coach (PCC) with 2000+ coaching hours.

  • MSc. Identity & Diversity: Scientific depth in human relations.

  • Multidisciplinary: Expert in Systemic, Somatic, and Ontological coaching, and Psychological Safety.

I offer a safe, intellectually challenging space to get to the core of who you are. From my practice in Bakkum, your office, Amsterdam, online, or during a walk at the beach.

      “I engaged in a coaching program with Lara for 8 sessions over about a year. I started with a professional question. During this year, we touched on everything from professional challenges like goal setting to the impact of losing my father at a young age and everything in between. Lara is very open, sharp, and asks the right questions. The conversations feel very safe, and Lara challenges you. She mentions what she sees and hears, providing very valuable insights. We visited various locations for our coaching conversations, such as the beach. Definitely recommended! Just as Lara knows how to include the body in coaching, for example, through a short meditation, walk, or specific exercise. Giving space to the body. So special and nice to experience what that brings me.”

      “In 2017, my husband and I had a session to align our vision for the long term with Lara. In a clarifying session, we tackled the core under her guidance. The agreements made then have prevented many arguments and frustrations. Especially because we both felt 100% accountable for our own choices and the consequences that came with them. Individually, I also joined a coaching program with Lara in 2018. Super nice, practical, transformative, well-explained, substantial, and Lara is a great person. Someone for whom this is really her profession and talent. Now, 7 years later, we have re-evaluated where we are, what we are aiming for, and we translating that into our year plan. What a relief to tackle it this way again. We feel more in control and still have room to be surprised by life. The best of both worlds.”
