“ I am a senior leader having worked in different fields, ie sourcing / setting up global supply chains for building materials, foods and consultancy in IT / SAP analysis and build. I managed a lot of teams. You could say that I am set in my ways but - open.

What I was looking for, was bringing in an outside view -
a ‘disruptive innovator’ who understands ‘managing complexity’ and ‘complex, multi-layered plannig / inter-dependencies’.

Since 2 years I schedule regular conversations with Manuela in which we look at, ‘brain-storm’ and ‘reflect on’ complexity.

What I appreciate the most is the honest - human to human - conversation that is also ‘mirroring’ and helping me seeing and understanding in a fresh way.

Obviously, I was used to ‘power over’,
here I am learning seeing the power in
‘the power with’.

Thank you. “

“ Thank you for your patience in supporting me learning English as a third language during the past two years.

I am a team leader and you supported me despite my dyslexia, to articulate myself well and prepare for the Cambridge B1 -Linguaskill Business Exam that has changed from paper / personal to computer based only and AI-powered exam taking in September 2024. This change in exam taking is a huge challenge to work with upon itself.

My colleagues at work, also leaders in a global environment, fed back to me that I am more confident in my communication and that they understand me well.

This indispensable and valuable skill, I could only develop, because you took good care of me exceptionally well.

Thank you for your perseverance, believing in me and your trust in my abilities!

I do highly recommend partnering with van der Glas & van der Glas to reach your goals, because with them you truly are in good hands.

Thank you! “

Rewarding it is, because steep learning curves can be witnessed and how to manage tricky topics or challenging situations well can be learned in a psychologically safe environment.

In Manuela haben wir als Expats einen ausserordentlichen Menschen gefunden, der uns ohne Vorurteile geholfen hat, uns in der deutschen Sprache besser und mit mehr Kenntnis, Selbstsicherheit und Selbstvertrauen zu verständigen.

Sie hat uns nicht nur die deutsche Sprache sowie die Schweizer Unternehmenskultur näher gebracht, sondern uns auch einfühlsam beraten, getröstet, uns berufliche Möglichkeiten in der Schweiz aufgezeigt, Mut gemacht und Hoffnung gegeben.

Manuela ist wie ‘google’ - einfach in der Form eines tollen Menschen.

“ I collaborate with van der Glas & van der Glas since 2018.
I highly recommend working with them, because they do not only offer superficial, transactional ‘English lessons’, but are also open so that I can also bring a wide variety of topics and questions to the table that I sit with. They listen, care, support and have healthy boundaries. van der Glas & van der Glas are deeply relational. I can be the way as I am; authentic.

van der Glas & van der Glas are
TOP! “

Would you love to build and embark on a deeply relational collaboration too?

“ I sensed being stuck, dissatisfied and disoriented for years and I felt the nagging pressure intensifying.

This is why I found van der Glas & van der Glas and I started collaborating with them 6 months ago.

I found them easy to talk to, open and supportive since day one.

I enjoy collaborating with van der Glas & van der Glas, because I value them bringing in an outside view to the organisation, the system as well as a fresh perspective in relation to my thinking patterns and the way we collaborate within our trust.

This is defenitely a collaboration that is more than worth the investment - on many areas: organisationally, professionally as well as on the human side - a mutually enriching experience I highly recommend. “
