Marietta Vis
Partner

I am a leadership coach, embodied change expert and team development facilitator. For over 25 years it has been my passion to help individuals, leaders, teams and organizations who want to reconnect to their purpose and to what really matters to them. The most effective way to find that real, lasting change is to work with the whole person - by integrating mind and body I can guide clients to fully thrive at work.

My personal story

I have always been fascinated by people and their ability to learn, develop themselves and grow. It is truly amazing how adaptive we are as humans. How we evolve throughout our lives. That is why I chose to study Psychology and, later on, became a university lecturer while studying Elementary Education. Looking back, I now see it as a missed opportunity that the body was considered irrelevant in the learning process. As a teacher, at some point I was no longer satisfied just increasing my students’ cognitive knowledge; I was more interested in helping them how to get through their college years! Clearly I was missing something fundamental. Through three years of training as a yoga teacher, I discovered how much I could learn from being in tune with my body. This re-connection opened up a path to lasting, personal change. After I moved from Amsterdam to the US with my family, I got to study the art of Embodied Learning with the original creators at the Strozzi Institute. A gift that I am now sharing with my clients.

Why I do what I do

My own personal journey to the change I had been craving, made me realize I wanted to share this with others. To bring new awareness where there was none and to open the door to including the body as an intelligent unity. Through my whole-person coaching I enable leaders to connect to what matters most to them. Which makes a huge difference in the way they deal with the challenges they face in today’s complex world. It is my passion to guide you on your way to learning and change. Whether it is for you, your team or your organization.

My commitment is to be both supportive and direct with a presence that builds trust. I offer a practical approach to get the desired results. My own inner work in the discipline of embodied change has provided me - and will provide me - valuable insights that I bring to my coaching practice.
