is an executive coach. After graduating from the Royal Netherlands Naval Academy, having studied Military Business Administration with a specialisation in Human Resources Management, Richard continued to feed his curiosity by studying Occupational and Organisational Psychology. Life on board Naval Frigates though, more or less like being in a socio-psychological laboratory for months on end, was a just as powerful learning experience. Later positions within the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps, the Navy Personnel Department in the Hague and Psychological Research at the Defence Selection Agency in Amsterdam, built upon those learnings much further.

After leaving the Navy, Richard decided to specialise in the field of communication training and still enjoys serving the international military community by training them in their preparations for Peace Support Operations worldwide. Most of his efforts nowadays though concentrate on training and coaching corporate business people in how to build their desired reality proof relationships through reality proof interpersonal as well as intrapersonal communication.

In April 1996 he made a decision to train as a professional coach and motivated by a passion for learning and professional standards he trained with renowned institutes both in Spain and the UK. He is currently completing an MSc in Coaching and Development as the pinnacle of his development. His passion is to ensure that all learning and development interventions impact on business growth and that personal learning is aligned with organisational strategy. It is imperative to Gabriel that objectives for executive coaching are agreed between coach, coachee and sponsor and that regular review meetings are held to check milestones.
