Ria Allewijn

Ria Allewijn-Koekkoek (1969) has more than 15 years of experience in systemic work with leaders and teams, both in corporate as well as operational functions within the non-profit and the commercial sectors. She has contributed to the transition within the energy sector from utility company to commercial organisation in a variety of roles, both as a manager and as a content expert. For the past twelve years she has been guiding organisations in their (change) assignments from the role as (interim) program manager, trainer and program facilitator.

The realisation that the evolutionary power and that of the collective is so much more guiding than that of a collection of individuals is the basis from which Ria works. The result is a more relaxed attitude towards complexity, combined with focus and sharpness. When you look beyond a possible question of guilt and ego, you will discover what your issue is truly about – movement can occur and you can utilise the potential.

Through her way of asking questions, Ria ensures that deeper mechanisms are open for discussion and manageable, to ensure that change really lasts and persists. Her sharp observations are combined with humour, self-deprecation and loving intentions: after all, we are all students of life itself.
