Els Vandingenen

My passion for guiding and supporting people began in education. I first taught children in elementary school how to read, write, and do math. Later, I transitioned into a support network, where my role focused on coaching teachers in their guidance of children with special needs. Additionally, I spent about ten years working in retail, managing a team of six people and providing many student employees with their first work experience. This was my first encounter with HR, which inspired me to further develop my professional skills as a coach.

After completing my training as a professional and systemic coach, I pursued a certification as a grief and loss counselor at PXL. The knowledge I gained there has proven invaluable in my work, especially when supporting individuals who have lost their jobs due to dismissal or illness. Life-altering events have a significant impact on how we function, and finding a suitable job can be a powerful tool for improving one’s ability to move forward.
