About Kim van der Feltz
I'm a certified executive coach, and I work with leaders and founders who want more clarity - in how they lead, and in the choices they're making. I help you slow down, see what's really going on, and move forward with more confidence and direction, both at work and beyond it.
I hold a master's in law and bring over 20 years of corporate experience, including 10 years at McKinsey & Company in people leadership roles. Since 2017, I've been guiding leaders and founders to build careers and lives that actually reflect what they want.
Words of Wisdom
“In times of constant change, seeing yourself clearly is what keeps you grounded - and helps you focus on what truly lies within your control.”
Who I work with
Leaders
For all professionals - from lawyers to consultants to investors - my coaching helps you step back, gain perspective, and make decisions with clarity. I focus on awareness, reflection, and practical strategies so you can lead confidently, navigate complexity, and grow without losing yourself in the process.
Founders
As a founder myself, I know the entrepreneurial spirit drives both opportunity and pressure. My coaching helps you grow your business, build strong teams, and collaborate effectively with co-founders, while staying aligned with your vision and values. We focus on practical strategies, reflection, and resilience so you can scale with confidence.
Teams
I help teams unlock their full potential by building trust, fostering inclusion, and turning collaboration and communication into collective strength. Together, we create a space where every voice is heard, ideas flow freely, and the team can make better decisions and achieve goals with confidence.
Female Leadership Circles
It's about empowering women to step into their leadership, build confidence, and create strong alliances - something women are not always naturally inclined to do. In these safe, supportive spaces, participants reflect, share experiences, and strengthen their presence and influence in environments where they may be in the minority.
My Approach
My goal is simple: to help you see more clearly - what's really going on, within yourself and around you. I do this by holding up a clear, honest mirror and asking questions that go straight to the heart of the matter. That clarity is what opens the door to real change. And because every client is different, I never work from a fixed model - I start by understanding your specific question, and build the coaching around you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How likely is it that coaching will lead to a solution to my problem?
Coaching is not about quick fixes or ready-made solutions. I don’t have a magic wand or a bucket of answers. What I do offer is a structured, reflective space in which you gain clarity, challenge assumptions, and explore what is really going on. From there, meaningful and often unexpected solutions emerge, because they are yours, not mine.
How long does a coaching program typically last?
Typically, I meet with coachees between five and seven times over a period of six to twelve months. This pace allows enough space for reflection, experimentation, and integration between sessions, so insights can turn into lasting change rather than quick fixes.
What can I expect during a coaching session?
A coaching session is a safe, confidential space that usually lasts 1–1.5 hours. We start by defining a clear coaching question to guide the conversation. Both coach and coachee share responsibility: I ask the questions, and you bring your honest answers. Together, we explore behaviours, patterns, and limiting beliefs, helping you become aware of what may be holding you back and discover new ways to act.
What kind of methods are used in the sessions?
I don't work from one fixed method - I use whatever fits you and the moment. That might mean looking at the bigger picture around you: your team, your role, the dynamics you're part of. It might mean visualization, so you experience something instead of just thinking it through. Or it might be more intuitive - picking up on what's happening in the room, or in you, and working with that. The common thread: I stay close to what's actually going on, not a fixed program.
What is the difference between coaching and psychology?
Coaching is forward-looking. We focus on where you want to go and what may be standing in your way right now. Together, we explore behaviours, patterns, and limiting beliefs so that, once you are aware of them, you can consciously choose to do things differently. While some context about who you are and where you come from is helpful, coaching is not about analysing the past - it’s about using insight to move forward.
