The journey from skin therapist to successful owner of Huidkliniek Maas en Waal
Lotte Reijers, owner of Huidkliniek Maas en Waal, symbolizes perseverance and ambition. After years of working in different clinics in Ewijk and Malden, Lotte got the chance to start her own practice. When her mentor called in 2022 asking if she wanted to take over the practice, she didn’t have to think long. This was her chance to be at the helm herself. Since Feb. 1, 2023, she has been proudly running her own practice.
The step to entrepreneurship
“I had already gained so much experience in the field, but running my own practice is really different,” Lotte says. “When I got the chance to take over Huidkliniek Maas en Waal, I knew it was time to take the plunge.”
Lotte’s passion for skin therapy was great, but the move to entrepreneurship brought new challenges. She lacked an entrepreneurial network and soon found herself facing some tough questions, especially in the areas of HR and financial management. “For example, I didn’t know how to hire staff or what the financial impact would be,” Lotte explains. “I really needed someone to spar with and help me find my way.” Fortunately, she found that in the team at Brilliant Work.
The power of coaching with Brilliant Work
With the help of HR coaches Martine and Esther, job postings were drafted, job interviews prepared, and financial aspects, such as absenteeism insurance, also went through. This successful approach allowed Lotte to hire her first employee.
The coaching went beyond practical matters. Together with her coach Lizanne, a three-year plan was drawn up to grow the practice. This not only looked at the financial aspect and the importance of being clear about what an employee costs and whether you should pass that on in treatments, but also leadership development.
“It was very nice to have a team of specialists to spar with and who helped me take the right steps.” You can read Lotte’s complete story here.
The importance of good guidance
Lotte’s top tip? “Find a coach with expertise in your field. Or like at Brilliant Work, a whole team with a lot of knowledge, where you can ask all your questions. It helps you clarify your goals. That’s my advice for anyone who could use a boost.”
