Whether it’s your boss, co-workers, clients, your partner, or your family, you’re ready to shake the insecurity you feel when it comes to taking a stand for your worth–at home, with yourself, and in the workplace.

You’re ready to stand in your power.

Speak Your Truth

Speak Your Truth 1-on-1 Coaching Program

Speak Your Truth is a 3-month coaching program (we meet weekly!) I’ve created to support women to go from feeling powerless to empowered. It is in your power to make that happen. And I want to help you learn to be assertive in a way that works for you and that organically connects with who you are(and want to be!).

In our weekly sessions, we will:

  • Identify the blocks, the excuses and the stories you are telling yourself to stay ‘safe’ while  keep playing small 
  • Remove all emotional barriers that keep you from speaking up for want and need in all spaces of your life 
  • Understand YOURSELF; your emotions, your needs and wants, how to ask for them, AND how to fullfil them
  • Create a custom-to-you plan for curating confidence for speaking up for you & what you want
  • Work together to integrate this new skill for speaking up into your day to day encounters with colleagues, employees, family members and loved ones.

Feeling empowered to speak up is yours when you’re ready to take it.

Okay so, how does it work?

We’ll use my 5-step methodology to:

1. Discover

Make a plan surrounding exactly what you want and need

2. Identitify

Find the root of the issue to create a conscious understanding of the root and origin of the issue

3. Generate

We’ll install new beliefs, thought patterns, premises to create a stress free and happy life with a solid foundation

4. Integrate

We’ll rinse and repeat steps 1-3 and weave the new you and habits into your day-to-day life

5. Expansion

We’ll take it further by expanding your growth and bringing you ease and flow to a state of bliss into your life.

You BELONG exactly where you want to be.

You’re a force to reckon with… really. Yes, REALLY. You add value to work, home, and your partnership–you know that. 

But… you’re afraid to actually add value. You don’t want others to judge you, feel “stepped on” or be labeled as difficult. Maybe you would even prefer to fly under the radar. Sound familiar?

You likely struggle with things like:

  • Being assertive without demanding – you’re afraid to come off “as a bitch”
  • Stressing about providing feedback or opposing views in the workplace
  • Communicating in a clear and concise way while feeling confident
  • Putting too much pressure on yourself to juggle not being too much or too little
  • Negative self-talk keeps you away from expressing yourself in a natural way
  • Feeling unheard or insignificant at work and/or home (partner, kids, etc.)
  • A lack of confidence to claim time and space to be alone, to be away from your family or work.

The story that someone told you (or you tell yourself) how you “should keep yourself small” was wrong.

Growth opportunities are abundant (regardless of what you might think); let’s create them for you.

From eager-to-please and 'too much' to speaking from my heart.

Hey, I’m Job Smulders and although I feel confident to speak my truth now in a clear yet gentle manner, I once was what you can call moving between ‘eager to please’ and ‘overcompensating'.

As the youngest child from a family of a total of 6 children, I stayed far too long in the role being the “Benjamin”. Over the years while doing multiple workshops, therapies and becoming a life coach myself, I have learned to just speak from my heart. For me, this journey was all about being more in touch with what I feel and then having the confidence and trust that I’m safe in speaking just as I feel it.

Over time in coaching women who wanted to be more assertive, I saw a recurring theme. Their blocks were often related to hidden fears and false premises related to self-worth, such as not being accepted or loved if they were to speak up. In some cases, they were discouraged from doing just that.

Whatever you think that is stopping you right now to speak up and claim your space, you can change that if you’re open to doing the work. 

Whatever you think that is stopping you right now to speak up and claim your space, you can change that if you’re open to doing the work. When you clear what is holding you back, I can assist you in becoming assertive in alignment with who YOU are and want to be.

I am Job, living with my wife and three teenagers in Hilversum.

Since 2015, I have been increasingly approached by people around me as a sparring partner/coach, whatever you want to call it. In recent years, I have actively kept time free in my schedule to be a sounding board for mainly busy professionals between the ages of 35-55.

I live near nature and I walk an average of about 40 kilometers per week. Walking is a breath of fresh air for me, as I am not good at sitting still. 😊 Many of my coaching sessions are done outdoors, while walking. But there is always the option to work indoors in my coaching space.

Appreciation, balance, anger, and being connected. These themes I have extensively experienced and explored myself in recent years and through the multiple coaching trainings I have completed. My fascination lies in how we view our world and how this affects our emotions, our actions, and so our life. I have a large toolkit of methods and interventions. I draw a lot of inspiration and methods from the work of Tony Robbins, Bashar, Brandon Bays, Nick Breau, and many more.

Central to my approach is slowing down to become (more) aware of what we think, what we belief to be true, and what we feel. I do not work according to a fixed methodology, but I use a backpack full of tools. It is beautiful to see and experience that listening, asking questions, walking, short activations, and interventions can lead to real and deep changes in the dozens of people I have guided over the past years.
