From the age of 18 to the age of 36, my life has mainly taken place outside and in nature. Worldwide I have sailed on large traditional sailing ships as a sailor with sailing trips to the Mediterranean Sea, the Baltic Sea and Spitsbergen the North Pole, but also as a skipper in the Netherlands on the canal cruise in Amsterdam and on a two-masted clipper on the mudflats and the IJsselmeer. During my travels I became aware of the power of nature, the wind and the sea. As a result, I also started to live more consciously. That's when I actually started coaching. In addition, I also worked as a ski instructor, activity supervisor and sports and games supervisor, where I gained a lot of experience to literally get people moving.
In 2010 I started as a professional coach/trainer at Greenpeace, where I coached and trained for three years in role-playing, conversation, presentation and communication techniques. Since 2013 I have started for myself to make people captain of their own lives. Because new positive behavior is often difficult to learn, I was always looking for a better way to help people with this. That is why I started working with Virtual Reality in 2015 as the first coach in the Netherlands. Virtual Reality and other immersive technologies are a very powerful tool to help break negative behavioral patterns. For example, we are now developing the Captain App.
The Captain App is a holistic digital prevention tool, a smartphone App with AI and Hologram coach/buddy. After thorough market research and a feasibility study, we received a subsidy from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) to support us in this development. The Captain App will literally get you moving and helps to stimulate healthy behavior so that you can be the captain of your life.
We would like to work with a large organization to pilot the Captain App this year. Do you work or do you know a large organization that has to deal with high absenteeism due to burnout and lifestyle diseases? Please contact us, because we would like to help.
Be the Captain of Your Life!!
