Who: Caroline Westdijk (39), journalist
Goal: Discovering her talents and passion
“When I started the Dream Team course, I didn’t really have a defined dream. However, from day one, it was a great experience. It is incredibly inspiring to get together weekly with a group of kindred spirits and to brainstorm and motivate each other and be energized. By doing fun and exciting exercises, you discover interesting things about yourself which seem apparent; however that you don’t come up with by yourself. I have gained more insight into myself and have made an important decision with the support of my coach and the group: I signed up for a training to become a professional photographer. And I have just heard that I am accepted as a student. Without my Dream Team, it would have stayed just a dream. I can recommend the Dream Team course to anyone!

Goal: Produce a detailed plan for her start up business and future
“A tremendous learning experience; I found the Dream Team course fantastic and extremely useful. I gained a lot from the experience. Julia’s practical way of coaching enables you to look at yourself with fresh eyes and gives you insight in your motivations and the way you react to things. The techniques that we learned to structure our lives are very effective. In every session, we could be honest with each other and yet we laughed a lot, especially at ourselves. And then to find out that my life is actually already on the right track! This was really a great stimulant to continue with what I am doing. This course was the final chord in a year in which my life turned out to be in a transition. Looking back on it, it was exactly what I needed at the time.”

Who: Doret Bakker (39), entrepreneur
Goal: To give focus to her business and to find out whether she is on the right track
Extremely inspiring; Julia Stoel-Legro has a very professional and moreover positive way of coaching. She really brings out the best in you, by giving down-to-earth advice and concrete assignments. She knows how to motivate you and to put you (back) on the right track. Together with my team I came up with answers and solutions. That is one of the strengths of the Dream Team, to break through a deadlock situation by looking at the problem together and from different angles; angles that you don’t come up with by yourself. I still feel the effect of the Dream Team. My company, Deining Communicatie, is on the right course and I now truly see myself as a web designer and copywriter. Moreover, I am eager to develop myself further in this area. Besides all this, I was pleased to discover that I am a tapas-type person. What that is? Discover it for yourself and join the Dreamers.”
