Sustainably scaling a business comes with a big portion of self-development.

PERSONAL 1:1 COACHING

For who is this?

You are an entrepreneur or business owner on a mission. You have a clear vision of where you are heading, but the real challenge is remaining focused on what matters and becoming the person you need to be to achieve your goals.

You have no time to waste. You want to get the personal support and guidance you need when needed. You are looking for someone you can trust who keeps you accountable and is your sparring partner and critical or supportive guide. Someone who has only one thing on the agenda: your success.

What is it?

It is a partnership. Together, we set crystal clear goals at the start of our journey. Week after week, I challenge you to define the next step that brings you closer to your goal. I challenge your beliefs, stories, convictions and the many ways your mind wants to trick you into solutions and actions that might not be the best way to move forward.

​

What's included?

​

  • Deep-dive 

  • Weekly 60' coaching call for a minimum period of 3 consecutive months.

  • Every quarter, a deep-dive session to evaluate the past quarter and prepare for the next quarter

How does it work?

It all starts with a simple call (or a face-to-face meeting) where we get to know each other and find out if this is a match. This is not for everyone; this way of working together requires a high level of commitment.

Do you want to find out if this is for you?

WHO AM I?

IMG_5973 4.jpg

I'm Els Niemegeerts, founder of Thriving Founders and high-performance coach for the driven.

​

My journey began in the arts, where I learned the power of focus and the importance of discarding the non-essential.

​

This lesson became invaluable when I joined a fast-scaling tech company, teaching me the essence of growth: concentrating on what truly matters and ruthlessly removing what's not. As an expert in global online learning and development systems and infrastructure, trainer and process engineer, I constantly found ways to make people and organisations thrive in complex and fast-changing environments.

​

A personal challenge in 2004—a significant health setback—transformed my approach to life and work. It propelled me into a quest for effectiveness, exploring mindset, bio-hacking, and productivity frameworks. This exploration wasn't just about overcoming personal obstacles; it was about mastering the art of high performance in any context.

​

As COO, I discovered the critical role of leadership. Beyond strategy and knowledge, successful leadership is about resilience, inspiration, and continuous investment in self-improvement. I've seen the effects of poor leadership and made it my mission to cultivate thriving leaders who can navigate change without burning out.

​

Learning to be a thriving, resilient and inspiring leader isn't easy but incredibly rewarding. When leading people, investing in yourself is not optional; it is a must. I've witnessed firsthand the havoc bad leadership causes to companies and people. This is my why and drives me every second of the day to do this work.

​

Leadership is complex, but its impact is clear. It shapes your team, your network, and your success. In a rapidly changing world, how you lead makes all the difference.

​

I'm here to guide you on this journey of growth and leadership. Together, we'll unlock your full potential.

"I finally got out of the operational trenches and got back time for strategy and product development. More than that, I was finally the leader of my team"

​

I had quite a bit of coaching behind me when I started the process with Els.

 

Els was the first coach who had real insight into the chaos prevailing in my head and organisation.

"Els is a confidant, someone you can talk with, organise your thoughts, and clarify the next steps."

​

Having someone to talk to and reflect on which what to do next, which decisions to make, which conversations to have, and how to have them effectively has made all the difference.
