Background and Philosophy

Dick Stolk is a life coach, program leader, mediator and advisor. He has many years of national and international management experience at the highest level. Vitality coaching has always been a part of his work.
Dick: “As the business world entered into a very short-sighted and transitory phase, a need arose to help people set new targets and objectives as well as regain their energy.”
In search of a clear and effective way of helping, I came into contact with BestYearYet®, a simple, attractive, and highly effective program. The focus and direction of this method is that coaches determine their own focus, goals, and ideals. From that point on, they are accompanied for one year in their realization of those aims and ideals. The coachee concludes a contract with him or herself, while the coach serves as an objective sentinel against traps or restricting conditions and circumstances.

Dick Stolk works under the motto:

“People are the best asset a company has.”
"I want to help people get the best out of themselves."
"If I listen to you, I can get to know you, what you feel, how you think, and which mindset limits your personal development."
Finally: "There is strength in unity, together you can face life’s challenges."

Do you recognise yourself in one of the following personal situations?

I do not have any balance in my life.

Works takes up all my time.

Busy, busy, busy!

I never really finish anything properly.

I am frequently tired, nothing makes sense.

I do not know exactly what I want.

I have the feeling that I am not making full use of my talents.
I allow things to happen in my life without taking charge of and would like tohave a greater control.

Vitality coaching:

Accompaniment and recommendations to talented entrepreneurs, executive managers, and the
industry teams using internationally known and proved BestYearYet®-program in order to established:
° clear priorities
° motivation and energy
° responsibility and discipline
° a transparent process for desired results
° greater vitality and balance between work and private life

Starters coaching:

Designed to help realize the dreams of independent entrepreneurs and managers. The coaching develops focus and preparatory activities. After the initial consultations, there is a long period of tracking and evaluation of progress.
Reintegration coaching:

During the corporate reorganization movement of the early 21st century, a large number of entrepreneurs and executive managers were made redundant. The way to CWI and later to UWV does not contribute to a strong and worthy self-image. This type of person generally does not benefit from group trainings, unable to regain their previous high energy levels. They have an enterprising spirit and significant work experience. Occasionally they already have a basis plan, but they can still use a helping hand. By working under the new IRO plan (Individual Reintegration Agreement) these people can benefit from coaching and accompaniment. BestYearYet® helps these people recover their strength and energy. Insight into psychological blocking processes and the management experience of the life coach ensures headway and improvement.

Mediation:

Disputes that arise between parties or within department can often slow down a productive workforce. Frequently the mentality of individuals within the group can lead to the stirring up of sticking points and building frustration. Through individual conversations and workshops with team members, these problems can be identified and targeted. Intervention and reconciliation can solve these problems definitively.
