Auke is an experienced businessman with 20 years of management experience in international organizations. He has been working with the developer of The Balancing Act, Sharon Seivert, since 2004. As a precondition for working on leadership in organizations, Auke starts from the principle that everything that happens around the leader says something about the leader–and that the desired changes in the organization therefore always find their foundation in the leader’s personal change. Auke combines business with the human aspect in his consulting, and his approach is direct, open, honest and of a powerful simplicity. Auke works as an executive coach, change process facilitator, and a consultant on leadership development, team building, career transitions, cultural issues, strategic business planning, mergers and starting new companies. He is (co) author of the booklet “Happy at Work” and gives interactive, in-depth workshops on Leadership and Organizations in Balance.
