Who is Ingrid Coremans

I am an enthusiastic and energetic business coach , professionally trained and qualified with a long and successful management career in a US multinational. Depending on your needs I combine a wide range of coaching tools and methods with a deep understanding of business life.
I offer business coaching and management training in the Dutch and English languages.

In 1983 I graduated as “Licentiaat-Doctorandus in Applied Economics”. After a year as a schoolteacher I began in 1984 a successful career with Mars, Incorporated, a US food multinational with many global power brands including Uncle Ben’s, Mars, Snickers, M&M’s, Whiskas, Pedigree..
The first 9 years I built experience in various management jobs in the Finance Division, the last 14 years in Human Resources. From 2001 to 2007 I was Personnel Director for Mars Belgium with factory and office sites in Olen and Brussels . From 2005 to 2007, I was project leader on employee engagement for the whole of Mars Europe (30 sites in 14 countries).

During my career I experienced that whilst the employee training generally results in higher knowledge, it is often not accompanied by long-term behavioural changes. This conclusion has stimulated my passion for coaching. I am convinced that a coaching programme will result in the integration of increased knowledge and skills in long-term behavioural changes.

In 2008, I have been certified as Professional Coach by The Coaching Square (www.coachingsquare.be).
For me integrity, trust, engagement, responsibility and personal development have always been my most important values in achieving success. I strongly believe that people make the difference in business life and that self-knowledge, insight and emotional intelligence are the keys to success.
