What Our Clients Say
Running a multinational company in China with constant decisions to take in an uncertain and constantly changing environment, it can be sometimes hard for me to reconcile my inside-self with my external life-work balance and get the right focus. I am grateful to Stacci as she has helped me to find myself back and redirect my energy on what really matters and what makes me feel much better. She is a passionate and a very sharp listener, with a unique knowledge on human psychology. I am sure you will benefit a lot from her healing coaching sessions, highly recommended.

General Manager -China
I’ve been Working with Stichting Career&Culture NL twice. And I’m sure it won’t be the last time. During those times I was at the cross-roads regarding my career and personal development. Just in 4 sessions we not only got to the root cause but to my clear vision and action plan. All answers are within yourself and Stichting Career&Culture NL helped me to find them quickly and to stick to them. What’s different about Career&Culture NL is that they really understand you, coach Stacci sets clear goals for each session and she challenges you with a smile on her face. And yes, I love her use of metaphors.

Head of Marketing – The Netherlands
This was my first experience with a coach, and I was a little bit stressed at the beginning, but Stacci did everything to make me feel comfortable. She said: “You don’t need to worry, I will be there to help you in your search”, and that’s what she did. She was asking pertinent questions and let me go in my own direction to find the answers. In the end it was a bit like magic, the solution we came up with was totally unexpected, but at the same time felt like “the one”. The most surprising thing was that it seemed to me that I had always known the answer, but I had never been close to finding it by myself !
