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."
