CTL Leadership Coaching for Leaders in Education

Drs. Allard Gerritsen, from his mediation/core reflection background, is involved in individual coaching of teachers and in leadership projects. He is also a trainer and educational consultant at the Centre for Teaching & Learning.

"From your professional identity, it is pleasant and important to map the 'playing field in which you move on a daily basis.' To discuss the pros and cons of possible choices. And then to look at your considerations and interests. Content, from the organization, the relationship with your team, your vision of leadership and your own circumstances. I address your strengths and possible challenges. I look forward to meeting you!"

As a teacher educator and ICF-certified coach at the VU Centre for Teaching and Learning, I support leaders in higher education and beyond in cultivating self-awareness and navigating complexity.

My coaching is inspired by the words of Thich Nhat Hanh: “The way out is in.” I believe meaningful leadership starts with looking inward and deepens through genuine connection. In our conversations, we slow down to observe what’s really happening—within you, your team, and your organization.

Drawing from systemic coaching, mindfulness, embodied learning, and my background in pedagogy, I help you explore essential questions: Who are you as a leader? What patterns shape your work relationships? How can you move with more clarity, ease, and direction?

Together, we create space for new perspectives and grounded steps toward a more life-affirming way of leading.
