THRIVE ON YOUR OWN TERMS

Break your inner boundaries and unfold your brilliance.

 

Hi there

I created this space to help you reconnect with your dreams and start living the life you always wanted. A space I needed 5 years ago, when I realized I had lost connection with what mattered deep inside.

 

Let’s uncover what is keeping you from making those dreams come alive.

 

  • “Working with Bart is like a voyage through new opportunities. His positive, creative and free-minded attitude shows you on a personal and professional level how to be yourself. In my opinion, for Bart, coaching is a second nature.”

  • “Working with Bart is a breath of fresh air. As I journey from the corporate world to my own practice, Bart is serving as a sounding board and guiding light as I identify and work through the things that are holding me back. Depending on the day I might need help channeling creative ideas or just to pause to remind me what is most important—Bart is the perfect partner for all of it. He’s a fantastic coach, a safe pair of hands, and a joy to be around. His energy is contagious.”

  • "Through Bart’s coaching, I found the courage to start building my first business. I’ve gained confidence and clarity for my path forward. I’ve identified and overcome fears that were keeping me stuck. Bart has empowered me to think creatively, build accountability, and move into action. I am forever grateful for his belief in me and my dream - which is now a reality."

  • "Bart van Grinsven has been my coach since June 2021. I've been going through major changes in my life during this period and I can't fully state how rewarding working with Bart has been. Whenever I've been stuck, doubting, or afraid our coaching relationship has pushed me through."

Meet Bart

  • Bart embodies the kind of enthusiasm and positive energy that someone needs to boost their confidence and start following their dreams. As a successful former business owner in the fashion industry, with over 50 million euros in sales made in a highly competitive environment, Bart has learned to see opportunities where others see uncertainty and think in solutions where others see barriers. Today, he specializes in helping others rediscover their hidden brilliance and empowering people to thrive on their own terms, both in life and business. His no-nonsense approach and light-heartedness allow him to quickly break through the barriers people place in front of themselves that obstruct the path towards freedom.

    Apart from his ability to guide others through significant life transitions, Bart speaks five languages, loves surfing, mountain biking, and hiking. He is a dedicated family man teaching his three children to stretch themselves towards the unknown and cultivate the confidence to follow their own dreams.

  • Coaching is serious business.

    After all, we help our clients shape the course of their lives and support them in making their dreams come true.

    Knowing that you work with a coach that abides by the highest standards in coaching and has been trained in one of the world’s best coaching academies is a great reassurance.

    I want my clients to live their best possible life and give them the best possible support in making that happen.

    This is why I have chosen to get my professional coach training at the International Coaching Academy and received my accreditation as an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) from the International Coaching Federation.

 Let’s find out what you want and then create a plan.

 

Do you feel you need to either conform and leave your dreams behind or break through the barriers and start doing what matters?

In a confidential and non-judgemental space, I help you align your relationship with yourself so that you can start working towards independence.


  • The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

    Key words in this definition are partnering, thought-provoking, and maximize potential. These are the elements that differentiate professional coaching from other forms of support for organizations or individuals. The value of a coach lies in his or her ability to serve as an insight-provoking partner, supporting the client to design his or her own actionable and sustainable strategies for success.

    I basically poke your brain, challenge your thinking, help you identify your biggest desires and what is keeping you from reaching them
