Make a change.
Make a difference.
Make it matter.

Bring your brilliance, make the world a better place.
Insights + action for ambitious humans, entrepreneurs and leaders.

I’m Lisette, and I’m not your average coach.

I am the coach for ambitious humans who would rather do it right than trying to do the things other people say they should do to be successful.

There are plenty of people who can teach you the shortcuts and fast tactics that you’ve likely heard before. You tried implementing quite a few of them, and at one time tried getting up consistently at 5AM. You’ve learned, and burned. And so have I. (That 5AM thing was ridiculous!)

Welcome home.

This space is for people who are truly willing to understand instead. Who are willing to challenge themselves, their thinking and their abilities. Because it wasn’t you – it was them.

It’s time to make a change, make a difference, and make it matter.

But only in a way that actually works for you.

Why I love coaching.

Coaching is about having conversations that mess with someone’s thinking in a whole new way. It brings brings big shifts, gentle nudges and new insights, it’s unlike any conversation you have on a day-to-day basis. It allows you to see things in a new light, so you can use your brain to take a step in the right direction, rather than doing the thing you’ve been trying to make it work.

I love coaching because it’s absolutely optional in someone’s life – it’s the cherry on top to make things even better.

What is your cherry on top?
Here are a few things many of my clients bring to our work together:

Confidence

Create lasting confidence in yourself and your abilities, in a truly authentic way.

Performance

Increase your performance & effectiveness in life and work without doing more.

Communication

Improve your communication skills in your personal and professional life.

Balance

Develop a healthy work-life balance that gives you room to breathe.

HOURS OF coach TRAINING & EDUCATION

Hi, I’m Lisette.

I do a lot – that’s what I always say. I’m a multipassionate life & business coach, (marketing & business) consultant, facilitator & candle maker at Quietly Quirky.

When I’m not working, you can find me cuddling my cat Kuma, practicing yoga, singing in choir or having a spontaneous dance party.

Some fun (and formal) facts.

Multipassionate entrepreneurship

I started my first business at age 19, and am always cooking up new ideas to put a smile on more faces and make a difference.

Dutch directness, it really is a thing.

Born and raised in the Netherlands, I’ll tell you like it is. We just don’t beat around the bush. It’s not rude, it’s efficiency with love.

"Professional believer in people"

My favorite title one of my clients once gave me. It’s true, and it’s a way of life – seeing the best in others so they can see it for themselves.

What I do for my clients?

I help ambitious humans grow themselves (and their businesses) so they can have a bigger positive impact and make the world a better place.

My formal training credentials

The Menu.

Pick and choose, served with a generous amount of handholding + a swift kick in the pants.

The Partnership.

The Partnership is what it says on the tin. A smart, fun, and thought provoking process for ambitious humans. Grow yourself, learn what makes you tick and finally reach your goals in a way that’s right for you. Big challenges, small steps – great insights and smart accountability.

The Mastermind.

A small group of entrepreneurs coming together with one purpose: intentionally grow their business, together. Grow yourself – and your business through this hybrid group coaching mastermind. Get ready to level up like never before, in great company.

The Mentor.

Building your coaching, consulting, or other service based business? With over 12 years of entrepreneurial experience, I’m happy to guide you as start or grow your business. We’ll look at what you need – bringing a blend of coaching, teaching and consulting.

The Consultant.

Not sure how to fix that one problem, and couldn’t find the answer on Google? Want to pick my brain when it comes to my coaching, marketing or business expertise? For that, I have custom consultancy packages, to support you in finding what works for you and your business.

Happy clients.

"Seriously, this woman knows how to help you run a more efficient and effective business! Without Lisette’s help, I would still be spending hours trying to figure everything out on my own. She helped me feel confident in how to more efficiently run my business allowing me more freedom to work on what I love."

“She is not afraid to say it like it is, which is extremely helpful to getting down to business right away. Lisette provides instant return on investment!”

"I already feel the difference in my life, business and personal. My dreams are finally within reach. Lisette has been giving me real talk, no nonsense! Giving the necessary push to sometimes dig deeper, challenging me. I am a leader and finally feeling like one!"

Curious? Let’s talk.

I’m not interested in selling myself or what is on the menu, I’m interested to see if I can bring value to your world. This chat isn’t just your regular sales call, it’s an actual experience of working with me. If we both agree by the end it’s a good idea to move forward, we can start our collaboration together. If either of us feels like right now is not the time, no hard feelings. I have a small coaching practice, and require a hell yes commitment from both sides so you know you’re committed to the process, and I know that I can go all out to deliver my value to your world.

Please block out 75-90 minutes in your calendar for this call, we’ll dive deep and leave no stone unturned.
