#60 What do you want? And how to find that out via ‘Descriptive Communication’ – Interview with Joppe Quaedvlieg (part I)

Joppe Quaedvlieg, originally from the Netherlands, has many years experience of supporting foreigners in Finland as a career coach, helping them to find a job. The success of his support is grounded on communicating with his coachees in an empathetic and conscious way – and finding a good answer to the question ‘What do you really want?’. Instead of responding in general, shallow platitudes, Joppe has found a way to make people feeling comfortable to talk about their wishes and career ambitions in an honest, detailed and authentic way – and that’s what Descriptive Communication means. Why it is so important to talk about visual and emotional details that matter to us – for example in a job interview – and if I am succeeding myself in trying out Descriptive Communication, this is what you will hear in this episode! You can find out more about Joppe Quaedvlieg and his offers for leadership coachings and company workshops on his website https://www.artiqula.com/ or by following him on LinkedIn! The second part of the interview with Joppe will come out one week after this episode! The podcast ‘Spotlight your TRUE self’ is based on three pillars: • Self-confidence & self-esteem • Managing your emotions • Concrete communication techniques based on NLP And in each episode, you will hear about one of them.
