Ernst Dekker

‘I become who I am by being who I want to become’ has been Ernst’s (1966) motto since he took a sabbatical in 2008. To this day, it plays a leading role in his practice as a consultant, coach and facilitator. His impressive career taught Ernst that people’s actions and development are heavily influenced by the (in)ability to believe in oneself and his or her capacity to succeed. He is dedicated to support others in their journey of growth and development and fulfil their personal and commercial potential.

Ernst is at his best in the area where results and development cross paths. His analytical insight, theoretical knowledge and business sense combined with his empathetic skills, sensitivity and sense of humour make Ernst a pleasant conversation partner. In an organisation which is undergoing change, Ernst feels right at home.
