Pieter Maas Geesteranus

Associate Partner | Founder PMG Team Action | Psychologist | Senior Team and Organizational Coach

Pieter is one of the partners of Awareness in Business and works with Ella for several clients. Pieter is the founder of PMG Team Action, specializing in systems coaching and LEAN team coaching. He ensures that trust can start to grow in every team by activating team members to connect with each other, address each other, give feed back and secure agreements. Telling the unsayable to each other anyway and staying at a distance from each other.

From systems thinking, he focuses on the connections between people in a team. What are those interpersonal working relationships like, and how are they influenced by the other team members? Is there a common goal, and how do the working relationships contribute or not to the desired results? As an experienced Lean and Agile team coach, Pieter asks probing questions in a human way; are we doing the right things, in the most effective way possible? From previous positions as line manager and project manager, Pieter knows what is going on in companies. As team coach he is active in medical environment, education, technical business, government.

Building blocks for social safety and growing trust in teams are group discussions, and experiential learning assignments. With the latter, teams work together in a relaxed atmosphere. Success experiences are interspersed with feed back rounds: what behavior is effective; what less so? Central is the link between trust and results-oriented work.

Pieter works with attention and care, knowledge and curiosity, sharpness and gentleness, enthusiasm and humor, preparation and improvisation I guide your team in any program, custom designed. From a short session to weekly training with return days. From 5 to 150 people. Outdoors and indoors.

What teams say about my approach:
"He gets us to know each other like we haven't gotten to know each other in 20 years" and "Finally a training day that immediately hands on how to get along."

Milou Scheeren

Associate Partner | Career Coach | Reintegration Coach
As a Career and Reintegration Coach, Milou works with many different target groups and requests for help. Since the questions often come down to processes that manifest themselves on a subconscious level, she is also a Systemic Coach in training. All requests for help basically come down to a desire to take a step in depth. To look at stubborn patterns and re-experience whether they still serve you and your career. 
 
After studying Corporate and Internal Communication, Milou knew for sure that she wanted to learn to understand people's (group) behavior and see how it works out within organizations. During her studies she did research on cultural differences in the workplace at the Australian Embassy in the Netherlands. She then gained international experience in international projects and the non-profit sector on St Maarten, Dutch Caribbean. 
 
As a certified DISC Practitioner, Ella and Milou help teams and individuals gain insight into particular patterns and tendencies. These can provide insights to uncover the communication behavior of teams. These insights aim to improve mutual communication and cooperation within teams, thereby making operations more efficient and in order to create more job happiness.
 
Milou also works as an associate partner for the Caribbean at Awareness in Business, participating as a consultant in leadership and team development projects for various clients in the Caribbean Netherlands.
