Program management
A proactive and results-oriented professional with over 15 years of experience in strategic consulting, program management, coaching, and network development. She excels at finding talent, connecting stakeholders, achieving administrative breakthroughs, and translating complex challenges into actionable strategies.
I'd like to see myself contributing to addressing the challenges we currently face, so that our future generations can also maintain a healthy learning, living, and working environment. By connecting (internally and externally) and working together to ensure that our behavior is less harmful to people and the environment.

(Team)Coaching:
Team Coach
"I'm incredibly interested in seeing how people learn, experience peace, relax, and become aware of their own abilities. As a coach, I can and want to empower people with this," says Mecheline.
After graduating, I set out to discover my true passion within the field. I found my passion by helping and guiding people in their development, encouraging them to reach their full potential.
As a socially committed coach, I have further developed myself and trained in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and Sophrology*) to help find balance and development.
*) What is Sophrology?:
Sophrology is the new meditation. It's a relaxation method for body and mind, focusing primarily on physical exertion through dynamic relaxation exercises: focusing on breathing and visualizing positive images.

Tip from Mecheline:
Plan fun things
Ultimately, we work to live, not the other way around—at least for most of us, that's true. So plan fun things after work, or take a day off. And fill that day with only activities that make you happy. This way, you'll have something to look forward to, and that will give you a lot of energy.
