“During a phase when our business was going through a crucial phase we hired tèn company to work with some of our executive leadership members. Through their interventions and individual coaching we were quickly able to see results of the individual(s) involved. These interventions are professional, fast and pragmatic with a strong feedback loop. It makes a difference that they have personal experience and therefore personal insights in senior leadership roles . So, they know what you’re going through and therefore can make quick turnarounds”.

"Despite the good results of our business and the performance of my team, there was some misalignment between my peers, the leadership and myself. That's when I met with Paul and his team at tèn company. Their 360 was a major breakthrough for me to understand that I needed to change before being able to take the next step. By putting down the behavior we wanted to change and by consequently following up with my key stakeholders, made all the difference.

Looking back on the program, I can say that both my behavior, and the perception of my behavior, has improved greatly. We worked on actual behavior and perception simultaneously. This led to a strong improvement of my personal relationships with the leadership, with my peers and led to even further improvement of the relationships with my team. The process in total took about a year.

In the beginning, changing my behavior sometimes felt unnatural, but this soon changed. I've found that their Stakeholder Centered Coaching program is easy to understand, but at the same time, also very effective. I believe now that such a program is a vital ingredient in order to make the next step as a leader.

I've decided to implement this process with some of the people in my teams."

Paul Donkers has been coaching me for almost 3 years (from December 2014 - October 2016). He skillfully accompanied my learning journey throughout the 3 modules of the Humanitarian Leadership and management school. The pertinent recommendations provided by Paul for my leadership practice enabled me to translate the acquired theoretical knowledge into practice in my current work assignment as Head of the ICRC Delegation in Algeria. He helped my interpret the results of my Individual Directions Inventory (IDI), LEA (Leadership Effectiveness Analysis) as well as Leadership Impact Report (LIR) by conducting a series of individual skype conversations and guiding my carrer development programme. Notably, he's been effective and efficient in connecting me to the outplacement programme companies and providing useful information on the poursuit of my carreer transition within the humanitarian field. 

Paul has made me aware of the skillful use of the different leadership styles and improved my managerial capacities. He contributed to strengthening my strategic visioning and ability to lead the change in complex environment and address human resources related challenges. 

I am thankful to Paul for what I have been able to achieve in the past years under his competent guidance and wish him an excellent continuation of the great work he does,
