My name is Nicklee de Langen, a psychologist, trainer, and coach from the Netherlands.

I have been fascinated by human behaviour since I was young. Where others developed an interest in for example technology, science or even skydiving for that matter, it has always been about people for me. How us people act and behave, how it works internally in terms of thoughts and feelings, how we give meaning to things, what drives us and how we live and work together.

I chose my studies and profession in life, based on this passion. I have a master’s degree in clinical psychology, and I’m further educated as a trainer and coach in communication skills and group dynamics. I have been working with individuals, teams, and organizations in both professional and personal contexts, for over 10 years now.

Self-development has always played an important role in my life. While I seek for answers and clarity through either self-development or spending time outdoors, I very much believe in combining the two in my work. Nature and all its possibilities, brings a natural framework for looking at yourself and the path you’re walking in life.

When I work with people, I always try to bring in multiple perspectives while looking at their questions or dilemma’s. Every development process often starts with unraveling the bits and pieces that matter in that particular moment. I believe in creating awareness of habits, scripts, and patterns, to subsequently create space for new ways of reacting.

I think it is incredibly brave when someone opens up to having a courageous conversation with themselves and the people around them, which can be the starting point of choosing and walking your own path.

I have a technical background and have enjoyed working in sales for about 10 years. Around my 30th, I made the switch to a more social career.

I studied psychology and started as a sales manager at the Dutch training firm Van Harte & Lingsma. It was there that I followed an extensive education to become a trainer myself and I started coaching after that.

After 10 years of experience with trainings and coaching, I started working as an interim team coach, which I still do today.

The thing I enjoy most is to help people find their power. To achieve that, it’s important to understand their underlying limiting beliefs and turn that into strenght. I make use of many different models and theories to achieve that.

When working with teams, I focus more on group dynamics. I often find that it helps to approach team work more systematically, as it gives more insight and tools to help improve behaviour.
