Executive Coaching Nederland, ECN
Our contribution to “a better world” is to support people in key positions in society in their challenge to make an indelible difference in that part of society they influence.
Executive Coaching Nederland is an initiative by Monique Koopman and Alex Engel.
Monique Koopman is an experienced top executive, an accredited Master Coach, and has been active as a top executive coach for many years. She recognized the need for a trusted resource for top executives—a place where they can connect with various professionals who can help them achieve the ultimate victory: surpassing themselves by performing better each day than the day before.
Alex Engel, in addition to being an accredited Master Coach, is a leading authority on coaching in the Netherlands. He has been coaching since 1993, is the founder of the Dutch Order of Professional Coaches and Coaching Nederland, and has authored several books and other publications on coaching. He is also the initiator and investor in UpGuide, the Netherlands’ top online coaching and personal development platform.
Both partners together have an unparalleled network of top executive coaches and other sparring partners, enabling them to provide 100% tailor-made solutions for every top executive.
Through this unique partnership, ECN is not only equipped with expert knowledge but also backed by a strong organization and extensive expertise within Coaching Nederland. This ensures the realization of Monique and Alex’s mission—to make the Netherlands a little better every day from the top down.
ECN is a subsidiary of Coaching Nederland, the oldest and now most versatile coaching expert in the Netherlands, with over 25 years of experience in coaching employees, managers, and teams.
Our approach
At ECN, 100% customization and discretion are our top priorities. We know what it’s about. We are committed to long-term relationships and do not believe in quick fixes. So, the concept is not about treating symptoms but addressing root causes sustainably.
