What do the pharmaceutical industry and an icebreaker turned polar cruise vessel have in common? You’re forgiven when your answer to this question is, “Absolutely nothing!”

My name is Gerdi Verwoert. I help busy managers, executives and coaches too go from a life taken over by work to a better-balanced life with more time for themselves and the things important to them. A life in which they are the self-leader they are meant to be.
I’m a Dutch former consultant, project and facilities manager — with 20+ years of experience in the corporate and consultancy world — turned certified professional coach and mountain hiking guide while living among the Austrian Alps.
Whether working online or in person, Nature is never far away when we work together. She is my coaching partner, my co-conspirator; offering us a place to rest, regenerate, play and explore.
In my online programs, she joins us in the form of metaphors and stories that relate closely to your situation and speak directly to your unconscious self. As part of those programs, you’re encouraged to venture outside in your own surroundings and spend time with her.
When working in person, I guide you into Nature where you more easily disconnect from your busy life and reconnect with yourself.
You see, I believe that since we are all part of Nature, you can only be connected with yourself when you’re connected with Nature as well.
