Meet the Better Minds at Work Team











Claudia Poels is fascinated by people, their motives, their behavior and personal growth throughout life. Not only in doing so. Also in their way of being. As a human being and as a leader. For the past 28 years Claudia has been active in the business world, the last 18 of which as HR director. After a successful career as a board member at Telenet and EDS, Claudia complemented her backpack with an in-depth and transformational training in the coaching profession.
The expertise, perspective and experience she has built up in the business world ensure a relevant and credible input into her current role as executive coach for senior leaders and entrepreneurs. Others describe Claudia as positive, result-oriented with a no-nonsense style and clear and respectful communication. Discretion is her trademark.
Claudia offers a safe sounding board, where there is room for great openness and trust, without judgement. In conversations, her role is to continue asking and mirroring, while giving the coachee time and space to reflect and distance herself, thus finding new & positive directions that allow their teams to make decisions with which they can continue to work. The result is a boost of energy and increased personal resilience as a role model and a leader.


To help them, Hélène can draw on her 15 years of managerial experience in an international environment, as well as her practice of coaching and training for more than 10 years. Hélène is certified in coaching at Coaching Ways / BAO Elan Vital and is an ICF member. Hélène's personality in a few words: curious, pragmatic, resilient and enthusiastic!

From the participants in his training and workshops he recovers that he can easily switch in the process, depending on what is needed and that he has a dynamic and energetic approach that moves people. He uses his extensive experience as a trainer, facilitator and coach.
When he is not at work, he walks around with a camera, makes nice trips, sings a happy note or he is exercising. In addition, he is - curious as he is - always open to discovering new things and learning new skills.




In order to give her work more depth, she followed various coaching courses. For Better Minds at Work you can call upon her as a coach, trainer and consultant. As a trainer, she combines tranquility with stimulating insights that are scientifically based.
Peace, solidity and a holistic view of people and their context characterize Nele.

Being able to assist her coachees in their journey in the most complete way, Carolien considers it a privilege. Listening, inspiring and motivating. She is guided by a motto that forms the common thread throughout her coaching trajectories and far beyond. 'Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.'


She has over 15 years of experience within Human Resources in roles as (interim) manager, HR Business Partner, talent manager and trainer/coach. With a good dose of infectious energy, a high degree of sincere attention and a down-to-earth view, she brings others in motion from a focus on talents, strengths and energy givers.
She translates her passion for working happily into practical tips and insights for individuals, teams and organisations in order to improve agility and productivity.
