Sander van Eekelen has worked closely with Alan Seale and the Center for Transformational Presence since 2012. He is currently a program leader for the various Transformational Presence programs, both open-enrollment and in-company forms.
Sander thrives on enabling and witnessing growth in individual and leadership development. His own continuous learning and developmental process lies at the core of his life and work. In describing what this work is for him, Sander says, “I’m inspired to learn and teach; it’s a reciprocal, never-ending dance. To playfully enable people to become the fullest version of themselves is my ultimate goal in life.”
Sander is an experienced transformational leadership coach and facilitator, founder of Academy of Life and co-founder of ShiftsHappen. He is also a Certified Transformational Presence Coach. He specializes in individual and organizational wholeness and self-organizing systems. He creates environments in which people feel safe and supported to explore their greatest potential—environments where they can develop the courage to step through self-created and self-imposed barriers. He has a way of both respectfully inviting and compassionately challenging people to go take their next big steps in deep exploration, making significant shifts possible.
With a background in social psychology as well as many years of experience both in management and in the field of Human Resource Management, Sander speaks the business-language and knows by experience the issues and situations executives are faced with on a daily basis.
