About Pippin
Inspiring, Energetic, Empathetic, Sporty and Performance oriented
'Pepijn's strength and interest lies in supporting people in leadership positions who regularly have to perform under pressure. Corporate athletes who are expected to be able to quickly adapt to changing circumstances. Looking for inner simplicity so that they can better deal with external complexity. His motto; 'You don't have to be sick to get better'
Where do I come from?
Pepijn came into contact with golf at an early age. Had a talent for this and selected himself for the Orange selection. With due pride and pleasure he was able to represent the Netherlands abroad for a number of years. In his top sporting years, in addition to a lot of positive experiences, he also had to deal with setbacks. He then became very aware of the Body and Mind connection and how you can positively influence it to improve. After completing a bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy and a master's degree in Human Development (Psychology of Work & Health), his holistic view of humanity was given a more scientific basis. At the same time, he discovered that top sport is decades ahead of business in a number of aspects when it comes to sustainable performance. That is why he and two friends started a company in 2002 with the mission: the Netherlands in Olympic form, starting with business.
Where am I now?
Pepijn is the founder of Lifeguard and author of the book published in 2011 'Healthy behavior is contagious' handbook for vitality, health management and sustainable employability. He is currently active as an Executive Performance Coach, trainer and advisor within the business community. Clients to whom he has personally contributed a lot are EY, Achmea, Accenture and USG people. He is married to Nicole and has three sons. His passion is still golf and to stay physically fit he does boxing training.
Where am I going?
“Lead by Example”
Pepijn gets his satisfaction from optimizing the energy of people, teams and organizations. He has built up a lot of experience in this over the past thirteen years. Now that he is certified as a Being in Balance Coach, he can get to the heart of the matter even faster and tackle problems at their roots. By identifying and subsequently eliminating unnecessary energy loss, Pepijn guides people to sustainable top performance and greater personal satisfaction. In addition to the Being in Balance concept, he uses a mix of Positive Psychology, MBTI, Neuro leadership, Alpha meditation, Epigenetics and his personal experience from top sports. He creates a Personal Action Plan for each participant that is fully tailored to the personal wishes of the client. The problem is often not that people don't know what to do, but that they don't do what they know. He is focused on making that hole smaller for you.
