Relational mastery for expert leaders

You know your field. You take responsibility, recognize what is needed, and deliver results. And then there are moments when that is not enough: the conversation reaches an impasse, people do not come on board, and tensions rise.

Ik ben Erica van der Heide. Bij April Learning versterk je de relationele kant van je leiderschap. Zodat je helder blijft onder druk, mensen beter meekrijgt en de samenwerking bestendiger wordt.

Work-related coaching

Would you like to collaborate more effectively with stakeholders? Handle tension and conflict more constructively? Or build stronger connections within your team? Together, we explore your behaviour and the impact it has on others. You gain insight into the patterns that strengthen your leadership, as well as those that may sometimes hold you back. Where it adds value, we use a Hogan assessment.

From insight to lasting behavioural change

You practise new behaviours directly in situations from your own professional context. The result is stronger working relationships, greater psychological safety, and leadership that remains effective under pressure.

As a Master of Science in Executive Coaching and a learning and development professional, my work brings together coaching and learning.

Programmes

Individual coaching

Your question takes center stage

You work in a complex environment where collaboration and relationships are just as important as subject-matter expertise. When questions or uncertainty arise, coaching gives you the space to slow down, reflect and take focused action. Your specific question or challenge is always the starting point.

Coaching at work

Learning programmes for leaders.

I design and deliver learning programmes that strengthen leaders’ coaching mindset, always tailored to the needs and day-to-day reality of your organisation. This can take the form of a complete programme, from analysis through to evaluation, or a role as trainer and coach within an existing programme.
