My coaching with Kristine was very influential. She is a great communicator, someone who listens attentively but doesn’t lose sight of the goal. She goes straight to the point and one can feel that she truly cares about the outcome of her coaching, all of the while making it clear that the only way it can be successful is through our own actions.

When I reached out to Kristine, I was stuck in a job that drained my energy and motivation, unable to move forward. I knew that I needed a change but had no idea about what I wanted and how to find that out. I just felt lost. Being new to coaching, my vague expectation was to identify “more fulfilling” job roles. My coaching journey with Kristine gave me so much more…

My intention to make a slight career shift turned into the realization that I actually wanted a major reorientation into a new field. Although I had been going through the motions for almost 2 years, this realization came after only a few sessions with Kristine. I am not sure whether I would have ever found out without her guidance, and I am deeply grateful for this.

Beyond finding clarity on my next career goal, one of the biggest outcomes of my coaching sessions with Kristine is that I learned to listen to myself. In particular, I learned to recognise and express my needs, an ability which I had been neglecting ever since.

What was most helpful for me, during the sessions and in between, was to reflect on questions that pushed me out of my comfort zone and, sometimes, made me feel uncomfortable (in a good way). Kristine’s questions guided me through pathways that my mind was not used to exploring. It was not an easy journey, but what I learned from it was priceless. And it was fun.

Kristine also helped me to become more aware of my emotions, especially the negative ones, and to choose optimal strategies to deal with them---which is really useful to face life challenges. Somewhat indirectly, this has also helped me to spell out my strengths (which I have always found frustrating), as well as to acknowledge my weaknesses without judgment.

After each session with Kristine, I felt empowered with deeper awareness and useful mental tools for becoming a better version of myself. Overall, my coaching journey was a transformative experience that helped me move towards the “real me”.

I would recommend doing coaching with Kristine to anyone who is seeking to live a more authentic, fulfilling life and does not know yet how.

The coaching with Kristine was very useful and beneficial to my life! I was really down and didn't know what to do with my life a few years ago, so I decided to do some coaching with Kristine. Her methodology helped me find myself back and discover my potential. I started to put energy in developing myself and have much more confidence in myself after the coaching. Kristine is attentive, friendly and professional, she always listens and understands what I say, coaches me through the process and guides me on the right path. I highly recommend Kristine to anyone who is on a crossroad and / or facing difficulty in life. 

I came to Kristine because I wasn't happy with my work situation, I was feeling stuck and underestimated. I felt that I needed a change, a disruption in my work routine, in order to progress with what I really wished for my future career. With Kristine, I had the opportunity to dive into my psyche, uncovering what was holding me back from progressing.

We mostly worked on how I should face the challenges in my work-life, shutting down the "gremlins" in my mind telling me "You can't do that", while embracing a more positive attitude. I learnt that a negative answer doesn't have to be considered as a rejection, but as a learning opportunity, or a misalignment of goals.

I left our session with clarity and confidence, and for that I am very grateful to Kristine.

Working with Business & Life Coach Kristine Duyck during the preparation phase of launching my startup was an absolute game-changer. Her guidance helped me clarify my vision, structure my ideas, and turn them into a concrete, actionable business plan. What I appreciated most was Kristine’s ability to combine strategic insight with practical examples, ensuring that every session moved me one step closer to a successful launch. Her encouragement, expertise, and honest feedback gave me the confidence to take the leap and start my business. I can wholeheartedly recommend Kristine Duyck to any aspiring entrepreneur who wants to become independent.

Working with Kristine has been an incredibly interesting and a transformative experience. Through her thoughtful guidance, I was able to explore my aspirations with clarity, identify my talents, and most importantly end up with much more confidence in my abilities. Her approach goes far beyond surface-level advice: Kristine allowed me reflect deeply on what makes me happy, and how my values align with the path I want to pursue. Each session left me more motivated about pursuing my objectives. Thanks to Kristine, I am now feeling excited and empowered to embrace the next chapter of my career and my life.

A while ago I reached out to Kristine Duyck, more based on luck and coincidence by finding her website on google, to work out a career direction. What I accomplished was beyond expectations.

To explain a bit my background: My career so far was more accidental. I started 25 years ago with a bank apprenticeship. After my first experiences in that sector I decided to study business administration.

After my studies I landed by chance in commodity trading, believing that my career is Finance. After some years I felt a loss of momentum. I was unable to study anymore and was in constant search for the next step.

Despite my biggest efforts I was unable to find what I was looking for.

When I first engaged with Kristine I was not really sure what to expect, but the first impression was good. I had booked 8 sessions over the course of a year. After each session I started to remove the blockers and became more clear on the intrinsic drivers. What Kristine did, so my view, was brilliant psychology at its core. She guided me to find the answers myself. This resulted in clarity of my aspirations, increase in self-confidence and it unlocked my mental capacity again. My revelation: We are who we are, with our values and experiences. Understanding this made me understand in which direction to look and now all comes together naturally.

The career counseling was a small investment, which paid x-fold back. I am not sure I would have been ready earlier in my life to run the career counseling, but I am confident that if I were, it would have benefitted me greatly and saved a lot of time and energy in my search. My gratitude to Kristine. I recommended her to friends, family and colleagues and would do so to anyone who has the desire to elevate their career in a more meaningful way.

I came to Kristine to unblock some patterns that I had been building over my life that were the main obstacle to achieving something bigger in what felt like a small career I am in. I have learned two main things: how to manage my inner negative voices that stop me from doing great things NOW, and how to redirect my mind toward goal-driven, conscious planning for my NOW and future, while keeping my emotions and well-being in check. I have had many intense conversations with Kristine, and she has managed to maintain a high level of toughness to challenge me and make me be honest and accountable, while being incredibly soft, kind, and embracing. I can’t recommend Kristine enough. I am very sad the coaching has ended, but I hope I will have more opportunities to reconnect with her and get more of her wisdom!

How to summarize my journey with Kristine...

I have learned so much during our sessions and I am still working hard on myself but:

• I am way more positive than before

• I do not see new challenge anymore as 'I will not be able to do that',  instead I always say ' I will do my best…'

• I am not letting the workload stressing me (that much)... work in progress here

• I am receiving a lot of positive feedback, they all say, that I changed a lot for the better

• I can raise my hand and show that it is too much without thinking (too much) that I will appear weak. My new favorite word: showing VULNERABILITY. I learned to tell how I feel

• I am doing really good in my new position, I am learning new things and I like that a lot. I even got a raise because of the good development and hard work I made in the last months

• I enjoy new adventures and don`t create all the scenarios with : but what if? Okay,  there are some exceptions still but I am working on them

Of course, there are also bad days but they do not weigh that much as they did before. So I take my time to be angry or sad, but I move forward much quicker as before. And I see the good!

So yes... what I wanted to say is THANK YOU! For showing me how to live on the sunny side of the life! For teaching me how to enjoy the view of this ride we call life.

You really helped me to feel lighter and be more in peace with myself… you  guided me towards the good parts of the life.

I am really happy that I got the chance to meet you and that you had such a positive impact on my life.

So thank you one more time!

I wasn't unhappy but felt like I could do better, when I came to Kristine. I was stuck and wanted help in creating an action plan. But Kristine saw right through me - I didn't get what I wanted, but rather what I needed. She helped me to make an honest inventory of my life. As a result, I felt more appreciation for what was good already, and more empowered to make the right changes due to increased clarity about what is meaningful to me. Visualizations used by Kristine, were very helpful to bypass thinking patterns from the past and discovering my deeper strengths and wishes. I also realized, how some of the old unconscious strategies were blocking me from moving forward, in work and life. Some realizations led to immediate changes in my daily behaviors, resulting in more satisfying relationships in general and more productive collaborations at work.

Thanks to Kristine's insightful guidance, I am now generally contented with my life and excited about what I can bring about in the future, guided by further exploration of my life purpose.

Kristine guided me through a process that was both practical, creative and, at times, challenging in order to move forward in my life, both professionally and personally.  She helped me to draw on inner resources and perspectives I didn't know I had.  What I treasured especially about Kristine was the combination of her well-developed, critical thinking skills plus her emotional sensitivity and intelligence.  As someone seeking to return to an area of work after a career break, I benefited greatly from her insight into the jobs market in Switzerland and the recruitment process.  After a long period of underemployment, I have found a permanent position, and working with Kristine, is a key part of why this happened.
