“Working with Gijs Ten Kate, on the integration of Nachenius Tjeenk with Insinger de Beaufort, has not only been very efficient, it has also been a great pleasure. He knows how to get the best out of people, how to make them aware of their weaknesses while motivating them to improve. He gives management a straight vision on people’s qualities and shortcomings, and will also recommend how and where best to use talent. My appreciation of Gijs’ work could not be greater. He would be an important asset for any company wanting to improve how their people work together. He is the best consultant (by far) I have worked with in my 31 year career.”
Boardroom Consultancy
My boardroom consultancy is based on a long history at top level in a wide range of businesses, theatre and top sport as an Olympic coach. Trust and confidentiality are key.
Personal coaching
My personal coaching approach is based on the Human Givens method (www.humangivensnederland.nl) and the Foundation of Natural Leadership (www.naturalleadership.eu).
Team coaching
Small teams of up to 6 people can participate in a intensive management retreat held at our home in Groléjac in the Dordogne. This is the perfect environment for team building and sharing ambition and commitment to enable development of organisational strategy.
Ten Kate Partners
I established my coaching practice from the urge to help other people. As a director and partner of several companies, as a coach in the theater and sports worlds and as a strategic advisor to companies I have learned to help people overcome their insecurities, to achieve their goals and experience empowerment.
