Our team

Marijn Damsma-Blaisse

I am a trainer with a background in psychology and I am the founder of Yep Trainingen. Working as a trainer is exciting, challenging and diverse for me. I am constantly searching for the context in which a person or group can experience their impact and grow.

I am most keen on the topics communication, coaching leadership, and personal effectiveness. [email protected]

Sophie van Oers

As trainer and training actress I invite participants to experiment with new behaviour. This takes courage, and it is so beautiful to me when participants take this step and get to experience the positive effects!

I focus on communication skills, dynamics and team development. [email protected]

Céline Verkleij

As a psychologist, trainer and coach it energizes me to get teams and individuals moving. They take steps for themselves, their organisation and also to make society and our world a bit sweeter.

Clients find me entusiastic, pragmatic and describe me as someone who brings what is needed through humor and confrontation. My main subjects are effective communication, (personal) leadership and team development. [email protected]

Anna Stutje

It inspires me to work with people who have the courage and endurence to contiously find their own path. They make difficult decisions and often need to acquire new insights and skills. In my work as a coach I love to stand close-by and provide support during this path-finding adventure.

I am a member at the Dutch professional organisation for coaches (NOBCO) and work conform the International Ethical Code for coaches.

Paulien Koppius

As a trainer I draw inspiration from my nephews. Why? Because they are experts in continuous learning without ever getting intimidated! They learned to walk by simply observing, trying, falling and getting back up. I enjoy watching this growth mindset in action. This is what I encourage during my trainings. “Dare to make mistakes and learn!”

Esther Schalkers

On a daily basis I am occupied with personal growth in others and myself. The Dutch word for ‘development’ is ‘ontwikkeling’. An interesting word if you take the meaning litterally ‘reduce difficulty’ or in other words: simplify. To be more connected to your core and remove difficult layers and patterns.

I enjoy helping clients through this proces and teaching them the tools they can use to get closer to their goals.

Esther van Meurs

In my work as a trainer and trainingactor at Yep, I draw on my extensive experience in education as a drama teacher and team leader. My focus is on experiential learning, infused with a healthy dose of humor and enjoyment. I invite you to take a look in the mirror. What patterns are holding you back? What potential do you see?

My mission is to boost your self-confidence and provide you with practical tools, enabling you to take control and feel proud of yourself. The trainings I host are centered around communication, personal leadership, and team development.

Josje Tummers

I connect and empower socially driven professionals, both at the team level and on an individual basis. I achieve this through fresh, customized training sessions, always with a touch of creativity.

I am committed to ensuring that my sessions are well-founded and practical, so that you can implement the provided tools the very next day.

Diederik Rijpstra

With my background as a jazz trumpeter and composer, I believe it’s important for people to approach their development as a creative experiment. You try things out, step out of your comfort zone, kill your darlings, and learn from it to move forward. As a trainer and coach, I am grateful to play a role in that process. I often hear that I bring calm, ask thought-provoking questions, and use humor effectively.

You can turn to me for training in communication skills, personal leadership, leadership, and team dynamics (sometimes even with music—because that resonates!).

Rianda van der Veen

What makes you act like you do? What gets in the way of reaching your potential?

As a organisational psychologist I am interested in individual and group behaviour. With pleasure I contribute to the advancement of self-insight and motivation to move forward. I work both as a trainer and coach.
