calendly.com/dklopsowinska/45minpowercoaching Coaching & Counseling is to support international women in the following areas: expatriation coaching, life & career coaching, counseling, workshops. My company assist international companies by helping their expat employees and the

ir partners to feel at home during the critical settling in period and stay in the Netherlands (or elsewhere in the world). Stress resulting from a long lasting feeling of dissatisfaction of the partner can have a negative effect on the whole family and on the expat employee in particular leading to less efficiency at work and in some cases to the early termination of the international assignment, or even break-up of the family. How can my company help? Through the program “Making Holland Your Second Home” DoSo! Coaching & Counseling helps to empower expat women to have a fulfilled life during their stay in the Netherlands as well when returning to their home country. As a result of the program they will experience their live in the Netherlands as an exciting adventure full of opportunities rather than a hurdle that one has to overcome. Better understand the cultural differences between the Dutch culture and her own culture and how the Dutch culture works in practice. The company provides support for international women in the following areas: expatriation coaching, life & career coaching, counseling, workshops.

We think perfectionism is about high standards — but it’s often about fear:

Fear of being judged

Fear of making a mistake

Fear of letting go of control

Perfectionism isn’t precision, it’s paralysis.

You’re not just “being thorough.”
You’re stuck in a loop of tweaking, overworking, reworking… and still not hitting publish.

That’s your Stickler saboteur at play.

“It’s not quite ready yet.”

“It has to be better.”

“I know how this should be done.”

The Stickler doesn’t want things done.
It wants them perfect — which means they’re never done.

📊 In this carousel, I’m sharing 5 practical strategies to calm that inner perfectionist and finally start moving forward.

Let me know which one resonates most — and save this for the next time you feel stuck polishing something that should already be out the door.

If You’re a Procrastinator, like me this one’s for you.

Not all procrastination is about poor time management.
Sometimes, it’s your brain trying to protect you from discomfort.

We avoid a task — not because it’s hard — but because it feels emotionally unpleasant.
That’s your Avoider saboteur in action. This is how this shows up:
→ You postpone meaningful work
→ You default to easier tasks
→ You say “I’ll do it later”... but later never comes

📊 In this carousel, I’m sharing 5 practical strategies to shift that Avoider pattern — all grounded in what the mind actually needs to move forward.

From starting with 5 minutes to shifting your emotional state, these tools will help you beat avoidance without relying on motivation.

💬 Let me know which one you’ll try today — and tag a fellow procrastinator who needs this.

🔜 Up next: How to deal with the Stickler saboteur — the perfectionist in you.

16/06/2025

Are You Avoiding the Task — or Perfecting It to Death?

Not all procrastination looks the same.
Sometimes you delay to escape discomfort.
Sometimes you delay because it’s “not quite perfect yet.”

There are two powerful saboteurs:

🟥 The Avoider — puts things off to avoid emotional tension.
🟦 The Stickler — gets stuck trying to meet impossibly high standards.

They look different. But both stop you from starting, sharing, or finishing.

📊 I broke down their key differences in the chart below.
👀 Look closely — which one feels more familiar?

✅ And if you're wondering:
“Okay… now what do I do about it?”
Hang tight — I'm sharing a follow-up post with practical strategies to deal with both

We avoid the feeling — not the task.

I remember when I delayed launching my first group program. I told myself I was “too busy” with 1:1 clients, but deep down? I was terrified it wouldn’t work. That nobody would sign up. That I’d put my heart into something and it would flop.

Once I named the fear, it lost its power. I took one small step — and then the next. And the next thing I knew the group was full of amazing people.

Next time you catch yourself delaying something, ask:
🔍 “What am I trying to avoid feeling?”

Because when you shift focus from time to what’s going on in your mind, you can finally move forward — even if it’s just a 5-minute action.

👉 Save this post or share it with someone who’s stuck in delay-mode.

Are You a Procrastinator? Take This Quick Test.

Most procrastinators don’t look lazy.
They look busy — but stuck.

Sometimes it’s avoidance.
Sometimes it’s perfectionism in disguise.

🧠 I made a quick test to help you spot the patterns.
Give yourself +2 for every behavior you relate to in the graphic.

👇 Now check your score:

🎯 Score 0–4→ Level 1: Situational Procrastinator
Probably just dealing with situational delays — a few tweaks to your routine can go a long way.

🚧 Score 6–10 → Level 2: Moderate Procrastinator
Moderate patterns are creeping in. It’s starting to impact your quality of work and well-being. Time to get intentional.

🚨 Score 12+ → Level 3: Severe or Chronic Procrastinator
You’re stuck in a cycle. Deeper mindset work and support might be needed.

Does this sound familiar?

You’ve built a solid career. You’re experienced, driven — but deep down, you know there’s more.
More impact. More purpose. More alignment with who you’ve become.

If you’re a senior professional or executive navigating your next career move — especially as an international — you’re not alone.

I’ve been there myself: changing countries, starting over, and wondering how to make it all work in a new environment.

And over the past 15 years, I’ve supported more than 1,000 clients from around the world to do exactly that — to grow, pivot, and thrive in their careers (and lives) abroad.

Along the way, I became a certified coach at the Dutch Academy for Psychotherapy, trained in brain-based coaching, mental fitness coaching and committed to helping people like you lead with clarity, courage, and confidence.

Because you deserve to feel empowered to shape your path — and actually enjoy it.

If you’re curious what that could look like for you, I’d love to connect.
Send me a DM with COACH and we’ll take it from there — no pressure, just a conversation.

It starts with a good intention:
“I want to do this properly.”

But soon, you're reworking that draft again...
Postponing the task altogether...
Avoiding it — even when you know it matters.

🎭 That’s the Stickler saboteur — the perfectionist in you — setting unrealistically high standards.
🛑 And that fear of not meeting them? It activates the Avoider — the part of you that delays anything unpleasant.

This is the loop:
Perfectionism fuels procrastination.
You freeze.
You wait for the “perfect” moment.
You never begin.

🧠 Want to break it? Start by naming it.
Ask yourself:
Am I avoiding this because it’s hard — or because I fear it won’t be perfect?

And then, take one imperfect action. That’s often all it takes to shift the pattern.

02/06/2025

“It’s not urgent.”
“I’ll feel more ready tomorrow.”
“Let me just clear my inbox first.”

Sound familiar?

Procrastination isn’t always obvious — it can feel like being “productive” while quietly avoiding the real work.

The problem?
It builds slowly — from occasional delays to missed deadlines, to critical inaction, even when the consequences are serious.

🔍 That’s why learning to spot which stage you’re in matters.
Because how you tackle a situational delay is very different from breaking chronic avoidance.

👉 Sometimes, a 5-minute rule is enough.
👉 Sometimes, it’s a signal for deeper work or support.

Recognizing the pattern is step one.
Taking one small action is step two.

So—where are you stuck right now?

26/05/2025

Want senior leaders to really listen to you?
It’s not about fancy words or polished slides.
It comes down to one powerful question:

👉 “How does what I’m saying help them make a faster, smarter, or better decision?”

Whether you’re speaking to your manager, a director, or the CEO—remember this:
Leaders are decision-makers.
Help them do that well, and you’ll instantly stand out.

🧠 Focus your message on:

Strategic impact – How does it align with big-picture goals?

Results – What are the tangible, measurable outcomes?

Risks – What’s at stake if nothing changes?

When you speak their language, they lean in.

💬 What’s a conversation with leadership that changed your career?

22/05/2025

Want to be heard in the boardroom? Before you speak in your next meeting with senior leaders, structure your message with the SIRA framework:

↳ Situation: Frame what's happening in the context of strategic goals. "This initiative supports our 2025 goal of expanding to the UK market."

↳ Insight: Share what you've observed, ideally with data. "Our analysis shows a 22% increase in demand from UK prospects this quarter."

↳ Result: Highlight potential consequences. "Without a coordinated approach, we risk losing market share to Competitor X who's already establishing presence."

↳ Action: Propose clear next steps. "I recommend forming a cross-functional team to develop our UK entry strategy by Q3."

Remember: Senior leaders make decisions all day. The most influential employees help them make faster, smarter, and better decisions.

What's your experience with influencing upward? Any frameworks you've found effective?

19/05/2025

Not getting invited to the important meetings where decisions are made?

I've created a guide on how to get that coveted "seat at the table" where real influence happens.

The truth is, visibility and influence go hand in hand. Being invisible - no matter how talented - limits your impact.

Swipe through for strategies that have worked for me and my clients, plus a bonus visibility checklist.

Influence isn't about manipulation or politics. It is about building genuine relationships based on a positive intent.

What's worked for you in gaining visibility with senior leadership?
