Alex Saelen

career counselor

My name is Alex Saelen.

During my career, I attended many training courses, for example NLP, group dynamics, solution-targeted coaching, etc.… because I wanted to have an as broad as possible education.

As a result, I obtained several certificates in different subjects such as leadership and group dynamics. I obtained a Certified Personal Coach certificate at the “Universiteit van Antwerpen” (University of Antwerp) and subsequently a Practitioner in Body Language and Face Reading certificate as well. I gladly make my expertise available to everyone who wants to benefit from it: companies, leaders, sportspeople, students, parents, youngsters, in short, everybody who needs a mirror and handles to proceed in life differently and, more importantly, in a better way.

It is quite difficult to describe myself. I find the word “Coach” too limited. That is why some people call me DIFO: different from others.
Whatever it is people call me, it is exactly the combination of skills and courses that enables me to work quickly and accurately, to not skip any essential steps and not to lose any essential time by asking superfluous questions. It is a well-known fact that Direct Coaching quickly provides the best results.

I combine my experience as trainer, leader and company director with my desire to help people, because that is my mission: challenge people and motivate them.

Why coaching? For personal and team development, for “on the job improvement”. New leaders must receive assistance, new employees tend to have difficulties in their new job, a new CEO no longer has a mirror, some people are facing a burn-out whereas others are no longer happy in the company, there has been a change in organization and some are lacking motivation, etc., etc. These are all reasons to call upon an external coach/mentor/trainer. I am all three.
