I would like to introduce myself to you, my name is Fokko Bonsma and since March 1 I am part of the coaching team at Brilliant Work.
I am commercially trained and have over 30 years of work experience at home and abroad. My abroad experience began as a boyhood dream in the USA where I started a wholesale business in fresh cut flowers. As a 22 year old entrepreneur I had the opportunity to go through all facets of entrepreneurship, from buyer, salesman to accountant to logistics manager and later by hiring staff, manager and psychologist. After a period of 7 years I sold my company to move back to the Netherlands. I used my work experience and energy in exporting to the US and Canada, Kazakhstan of fresh cut flowers and plants. September 11 changed a lot in the export market and with the help of my burnout made me make a career switch to the automotive industry as a business sales manager. B2B and B2C. My work consisted of acquiring new relationships, maintaining them and guiding and coaching colleagues in sales, communication and personal effectiveness.
Coaching colleagues was a facet within my work that gave me great pleasure and energy. I wanted more of this! For the past 14 years I have continued to develop my coaching and counseling skills by attending all kinds of training courses. The most recent training was Strategic Intervention coach at Robbins Madanes Training USA. Partly because of this study combined with my work and life experience, I know how to combine the hard business targets with what people call “softer factors. I enjoy confronting people without being threatening in this.
My current coaching at Brilliant Work is in the area of personal effectiveness development, think individual coaching, coaching of management, MT, as well as team coaching.
I hope to meet you soon and perhaps guide you to become a strong entrepreneur(star) who knows how to get everything out of himself and his |her business.
