WHO AM I AND WHY WORK WITH ME?
My name is Katrien Van Genechten and I have over 20 fascinating years of experience in HR. For the last 10 years, I have worked with great passion and satisfaction as a freelance career coach, including 5 years as an internal coach at J&J Belgium. Over the past decade, I’ve made many 'career' hearts beat faster, and I plan to continue doing so for many years to come!
Through my extensive experience in HR, particularly in large, complex, and leading organizations, I have gained substantial knowledge and expertise in:
1. Coaching
2. Personnel Management
3. Training and Development
4. Reorganization & Change Management
5. Recruitment
6. Resilience and Well-being
7. Employment Law & Payroll
In my 12 years as an employee, I spent most of that time as an HR Business Partner at ZF Wind Power, acting as a link between the organization and the employee. Therefore, I have a deep understanding of the workings and challenges of large organizations.
"I am passionate about unlocking human potential and creating connections that enable companies to thrive. I love to see employees with joy in their eyes."
"Katrien, for 5 years, you were a driving force behind Healthiest Careers (internal career center) at Janssen Pharmaceutica. You achieved a lot during that time, fully utilizing your talents for our employees and leaders.
Thank you for everything and good luck with your next step!"

2. You specify which profiles you wish to have coached
3. Based on your company's needs, we collaboratively choose the best approach:
Most organizations offer some form of coaching.
However, what is often lacking is a sustainable career coaching policy: a structured and clear framework of the various career coaching options, easily understandable for everyone in the organization.
A clear career coaching policy answers following questions, in an uniform way :
I can support and advise your organization in building one.
Because it's the way forward.
A lack of clarity means that a policy doesn't work optimally. Possible consequences:
