Saskia van der Horst (1969) is a seasoned coach and consultant with over two decades of experience in leadership, change management, and team and personal development. With a strong foundation in systemic coaching, Saskia’s approach involves identifying and addressing the underlying patterns and dynamics that influence individual and group behavior. She believes true transformation begins with understanding these systemic relationships, whether in a corporate setting, team environment, or personal development context.

Saskia began her career as a Human Resource Policy Advisor before transitioning to consultancy in 2005. During this phase, she conducted numerous development assessments for leaders at all levels within organizations, quickly identifying their behaviors, challenges, and potential. This naturally led to coaching both individuals and teams to enhance their effectiveness. In 2011, she moved to Switzerland to work in Financial Services as a Senior Consultant, focusing on change management, leadership and team development. In this global role, she enjoyed working across Asia, America, and Europe. Her last position was Head of Change Management for a multi-year global transformation program.

In 2023, Saskia chose a different path. After relocating back to the Netherlands, she became an independent consultant, supporting individuals and teams in achieving their full potential through transformative coaching methods and workshops. Saskia is trained in systemic coaching and equine-assisted coaching, often working with her own horses to leverage their intuitive and reflective nature for profound insights and breakthroughs. Additionally, she draws inspiration from nature, the interconnectedness of all life, and her yoga teacher training. Integrating her corporate background with body and mind-related exercises allows her to explore behaviors, emotions, and dynamics at a deeper level, making working with her a unique experience.
