What does the journey look like?


We offer this trip to travelers who travel alone and sometimes also in small groups. Content-wise, the group trip is the same as the 1-on-1 trip but with a maximum of 4 other women. Going alone, you might go faster, but together, you go further. The focus is always on creating an intimate atmosphere, reinforcing each other, and using TCM for intenser coaching.


TCM stands for the Transformational Coach Method and is a proven method for sustained behavioural change from the ICF certified Health Coach Institute in the United States. This method has successfully helped hundreds of thousands of people.


The personal leadership journey emphasizes sustainable behavioral change and takes up to fourteen weeks. Practically, the leadership journey is  1 hour (2 hours if it involves a group) of coaching per week via Zoom.


Perhaps you're thinking: '14 weeks is long!' But I say, '14 weeks are necessary' when you practice:

  • Seeing yourself as a priority (increasing self-awareness and self-worth)
  • Authentic communication (including being clear, friendly, and inclusive ...)
  • Leadership competencies (such as resilience, inclusivity, courage, empathy, assertiveness, decisiveness, curiosity, being a role model ...)


We set clear, achievable goals and work towards them with small, firm steps. Each session addresses personal needs, includes new inspiration, and offers exercises that are attractively different. It's 14 weeks packed with personal growth, sisterhood, trust, appreciation, real practicing, going deep, empowerment and laughing together!

Mellow Revolution
Personal Leadership Journey

There are three steps that distinguish my Mellow Revolution leadership journey and help make your success more sustainable.

Coach programs with the best results in a relatively short time have three things in common. You can compare it to the three legs of a stool. If you remove one leg, the stool falls over.


The three pillars are:


  • the right method 
  • the appropriate support, and
  • genuine responsibility


The right method means taking the correct steps in the right order.

The right support comes from someone who has been in a similar situation and held a similar position.

Someone who approaches you lovingly, positively, and assertively, making it feel safe to be honest and vulnerable.


We often know exactly what we should do. But without feeling truly  responsible and experiencing accountability, it's difficult to actually do it!


We let thousands of things take priority, especially when we're a little uncertain. Tackling this together and genuinely wanting it is crucial.

You probably know that by the end of January, as much as 98% of well-intended resolutions falter.


Having set conditions rather than mere intentions significantly eases the path to persistence. You've likely felt firsthand how daunting it can be to constantly manage everything on your own.


Simultaneously, we hold the belief that we should manage independently, unintentionally setting an even higher standard for ourselves. Plus, the fear of disappointing others looms large. Motivation on its own falls short.


The pivotal conditions include making yourself a priority, establishing clear and attainable goals, enhancing your energy, and consistently practicing in small, incremental steps.


Lacking these conditions, reverting to old behavioural patterns becomes inevitable, resulting in more of what you wish to avoid.

Sustainable change necessitates a 'green light' across three levels: behaviour, thoughts, and identity.

Initiating from the behavioural level, it's typically easier to make swift adjustments here.


However, the second level - your thoughts - poses a far greater challenge. Your thoughts shape your behaviour, and your experiences affirm those thoughts. You might recognise the recurring thoughts of 'I knew that already' or 'I've said that before,' creating a self-reinforcing loop but offering no real progress.


The struggle with a lack of control is evident. We crave explanations and meaning for everything. Oddly, we'd prefer a definite negative outcome over an ambiguous positive one. Escaping this pattern is tough because the brain continually seeks evidence to validate these negative thoughts. However, this program assists in breaking that cycle.


Then comes the third level - your identity, the narrative crafted by you and those closest to you, comprising rules, perspectives, and events from your earliest years.


If this level also receives the 'green light,' your new behaviour becomes ingrained. This transformation occurs naturally through awareness and dedicated exercises.

Women about their

mellow revolution

"Natascha assisted me in clarifying my needs and wants. Together, we've developed specific actions, significantly aiding my adjustment to the complexities of my new job. Our discussions are candid, occasionally firm, yet always infused with humor and at times deep emotion. Following each conversation, I feel fortified and better prepared to tackle the significant challenges in my life"

Managing director
Energy company

Prior to embarking on the group trip, I harboured doubts about opening up and sharing my thoughts and feelings with others. I questioned whether I'd receive adequate personal benefit from the group setting and feared unsolicited advice from fellow participants.


However, what transpired was a wonderful, enriching, and thrilling coaching journey. Natascha swiftly dispelled my doubts. She's the sole coach during the group sessions ;-). The involvement of other participants revolves around sharing their feedback after each individual's one-on-one session—highlighting what they appreciated, learned, or recognized. It's incredibly stimulating!


At a certain point, I encountered moments of self-confrontation that stirred uncertainty and restlessness. Yet, within the group and under Natascha's guidance, I always felt secure. It was incredibly reassuring.


What stood out was the positive group atmosphere, Natascha's warm and nurturing coaching style with incisive, probing questions, and the high-quality online content that provided a one-on-one coaching sensation. It allowed each of us to navigate our personal journey.


The transformation I've undergone feels immensely valuable. The insights are applicable both in my professional and personal life. I return home with a backpack brimming with practical tools applicable to every facet of the day. They're not just theoretical but hands-on. I'm delighted that I dedicated time to experience this mellow revolution. Not a single moment of regret.

Leonie
Adjunct - director

“The combination of Mellow & Revolution did something to me. I was excited to share my experiences with others because I had no idea who I would be dealing with. I quickly felt safe.

Right from the outset, the atmosphere was characterized by openness, honesty, and authenticity. The mutual recognition and acknowledgment from the other women were reassuring and empowering. The feeling that you don't have to go through this journey alone, while still making significant personal progress, was truly comforting.


I practiced courage, self-worth, and advocating for what I truly desired. The concept of 'accountability' and the online content encouraged deep introspection. Natascha has a unique way of making you feel the experience. Her approach is gentle, appreciative, and permissive, which has been incredibly impactful.


Under her guidance, I learned to let go of old habits and embrace new behaviours, one small step at a time. This approach led to success and provided me with the confidence to continue my transformation, embracing new behaviours. I consider this aspect highly valuable.


By keeping my emotional goals in mind and using them as a lens through which I view the world, the question 'What is most promising?' and one of her 15 guidelines, 'speaking your truth without the need to be right,' continue to guide me.


I have let go of many tasks that kept me from what I really want: making a difference as an HR manager. I experience the most beautiful confirmation of my own change through the behaviour of people and colleagues around me: they ask me for advice and indicate that they use me as an example when they struggle with leadership.


Marieke,

HR manager

“If colleagues spontaneously tell you that you have changed a lot in recent months, more open, more self-confident, more assertive, then you know that you have made the right choice and that the coaching really works. The fact that I have made such progress after 5 weeks shows to me that the program is based on your intrinsic strength and is therefore effective, the result is sustainable.”

Ellen
Service management consultant.

Prior to this program, I wasn't aware of the extent to which I carried shame about who I was and what I did. I've come to realise that feelings of shame can significantly impact any relationship—be it personal, professional, or the relationship with oneself.

Throughout this journey, I've learned the importance of self-care, nurturing myself with attention and love. This has brought me peace of mind, a more positive outlook, and increased energy. I've noticed a reduction in my neck and shoulder discomfort, contributing to an overall sense of physical and mental strength that I've never felt before.

Jacqueline Ten Hoope

Staff lawyer dean/attorney

Thanks to the sustainable behaviour change method of Mellow Revolution, I've shifted from being insecure and judgmental to becoming more curious, empathetic, and less judgmental towards both myself and others. Natascha guided me to feel choices rather than just rationalize them, making decision-making easier.


Her positive directives have empowered me to connect more with myself and my inner strength. By focusing on how I want to feel, I now recognize that I have something exceptional to offer. The hesitation has vanished. I wish every 'corporate lady' could experience a Mellow Revolution.

Inge Wallage

Head of communications

Prior to embarking on this journey, I hesitated, questioning whether prioritising my personal leadership growth over the organisation was viable. I also questioned if I could have my organisation sponsor my participation.


Looking back, I've realised the immense benefit it brought to my organisation. 'Mellow Revolution' was both intimidating and alluring. I worried that the experience might lack a business-like tone, but that concern was unfounded.


Traditional corporate leadership training identifies strengths, weaknesses, and behavioral indicators, but often lacks a space for vulnerability. This transformation journey was warm, positive, and nurturing, offering a safe environment for practice. This liberating atmosphere allowed for deeper self-exploration and genuine transformation.


Prior to starting, I was overwhelmed, filled with doubts, and utterly exhausted. My most significant transformation has been the substantial reduction in self-doubt, impacting every aspect of my life.


Natascha, with her encouragement, curiosity, and generous praise, draws out your inner self without judgment. This approach feels comforting and fosters openness.


I've grown to accept and value myself more. I've truly come to appreciate the power of vulnerability, making a daily difference in my life. Among the women in the group, I experienced genuine sisterhood. Together, we dared to practice and be vulnerable.


Listening to others' coaching has been a significant learning experience. I discovered how hard women can be on themselves and how multifaceted they are. Natascha prompts each participant to express what they've learned from and appreciate in one another—an incredibly empowering, supportive experience sustained over the course of fourteen weeks.


At work, I'm now recognized for exuding calmness and smiling more often. Several have referred to me as a role model. This has been an entirely different experience. To every woman who resonates with my journey, I say: 'Give this gift to yourself.
