Catherine Dumont de Chassart
Profile
Since I stated my career, I have worked with great pleasure as a teacher, an advisor, a sparring partner, a coach and a trainer for quite some time now. After attending different management development and communication trainings, I have discovered that I am thoroughly interested in people’s history and people’s behaviour in relation to corporate developments.
Meanwhile, I have been trained in the fields of leadership development as well as interpersonal effectiveness. Being a trainer and a coach, I enjoy the dynamics of encountering and teaming up with many different people worldwide, in many different contexts. Their trust, their strength and their honesty have all inspired me. They are my teachers.
From growing up in Belgium, to having lived, worked and/or extensively travelled in the United States, Indonesia, India, Vietnam and currently living in the Netherlands, I have absorbed cultures from all over the world. I have always been curious about the world out there and tie everything I discover on my trips to all kinds of places into my work.
After over fifteen years successfully leading strategy projects in the management consulting industry, I have learned how to blend my people skills with my business sense; it inspires me to support leaders to create meaningful impact.
As an executive coach, I have learned what it takes to become a true leader and I remain passionate about unlocking this creative potential in others, supporting people in finding their purpose to taking courageous action towards it, and on their way naturally attracting enthusiastic, dedicated followers.
As a trainer and facilitator, and as I am genuinely interested in the drive, passion, fears and creativity of leaders, I enjoy supporting them in their search for their beliefs, their (surviving) strategies and their sense of authenticity. All that will contribute to their personal growth. And to the development of their personal contribution to the mission of the company they have chosen to join forces with.
Since 1882, I live in the Netherlands with great pleasure. In my free time, I enjoy sea sailing with my husband on our lovely little classic sailing boat Eenhoorn. As well as singing in an opera choir or cooking large meals for friends and family.
