Confidence for your journey
You are the expert of your life. Whatever challenging life or work situations you are facing at present, I am here to assist you to find the ultimate clarity and strength (=Christilience) for your journey. If some of this resonates with you let’s explore how we can work together. Here are some details about my journey in life, faith and work.
I grew up in the Netherlands. I have worked in the international oil & gas industry in North America, Europe, parts of Africa, most of the Middle and the Far East. Plenty of work experience in international marketing, sales and management. I know what pressure is! :-)
Married with four children, having lived in various countries, I also know the joys and challenges of family life.
Something on my faith journey: On my 18th birthday I declared that I would never go back to church. Thankfully God had other ideas. My faith came alive in an Anglican church in Singapore. I am eternally grateful! Following ordination training and a curacy in the UK I worked as Chaplain in France, as Canon Chancellor in Brussels and as Archdeacon for North West Europe. I have a deep passion to see others grow.
Each human is endowed with so much potential, but life can be hard and messy. As founder of Christilience.org and an accredited coach it is my deepest joy to empower people to unlock their God-given potential to discern and to equip them for what is next. I love to work with people from any background or creed. With plenty of life, work and ministry experience in international and multicultural contexts I would love to assist you on your journey.

“Paul has a real gift of connection. Our sessions are always positive and focused on getting the best out of where I am and where I want to go.
Paul is a warm and wonderful guiding force and has a terrific sense of humour. Laughing about the difficulties really helps to keep the sessions engaging and motivating. And knowing that our next session will be an open and easy conversation takes the stress out of returning. Even when I’ve had a difficult week or feel like I haven’t made any progress on the goal, I always leave the sessions feeling calm, confident and loved.
Coaching reminds me that I am strong and capable; all it takes is a focus and a direction to change my thinking about a situation or take steps to try something new. It has been essential to my wellbeing in that I feel that I have a trusted partner – someone who hold no judgements and won’t influence me but will help me navigate through a difficulty in my life. It has really been a blessing in my life!”

I was coping with a burn-out at work. The conversation with Paul regarding my work situation has been very helpful. I could see everything better in perspective and with more clarity.
It also helped me to reflect on my own position and attitudes. It gave me various handles on how to approach the people around me. Coaching has given me greater confidence and has been very insightful. It has helped me to strike the right tone for the important conversations that are now taking place.”

“My experience with your coaching came at an opportune time and from the start I have only positive feedback. After working many years at the same job, it was clear to me that I needed and wanted a new challenge. From the first day that we sat down to talk, I felt totally at ease and comfortable discussing the reasons and lead-up to my decision. You listened with great attention and I found that your ability to highlight and retain the important details of why I wanted to make a change most helpful - thus providing clarity and focus enabling my next steps.
Your positive feedback and very concrete suggestions were insightful and invaluable. It can be a daunting task to go through a career change; but with your direct and encouraging manner, you taught me how to focus on my strengths and know that the best was to come. I am supremely grateful.”

Becoming Christilient:
Integrating the spiritual, physical, mental and emotional aspects of life in old ways and new
Finding strength in God
“Coaching is a conversation that is supportive and challenging, in which someone feels heard and knows things at the end that they did not know at the beginning that will make a tangible difference to what they do or feel or think”
“Standing still is the fastest way of moving backwards in a rapidly changing world.”
— Lauren Bacall
