Download my free E-book (in DUTCH!) with the 3 steps to transition into a life of purpose and meaning.

YOU ARE AN AMBITIOUS PROFESSIONAL, DRIVEN TO MAKE MEANINGFUL IMPACT.

Everything in your life seems on track. But you feel unfulfilled.

People see you as successful. But you feel something is missing.

You already have an impressive job, you own a company or even hold a top position in the organisation. You are ambitious and others admire you for what you have accomplished. And it all looks great on paper: a solid income, a comfortable house, nice friends, a relationship and family.

What else could you possibly need?

Only, your stomach hurts if you imagine this is your life for years to come. You miss the feeling of fulfillment. Instead you feel a certain emptiness or tension. You regularly ask yourself: 'is this it?' You question if all those years of hard work and everything you have built up, both professionally and privately, should not give you more satisfaction and peace?

Absolutely.

Stop making concessions.
Life is too short.

This is you:

  • You work hard. You give yourself completely, but you feel that something is not right. Your stress level is high and if you are really honest you just don't feel satisfied.
  • You feel that there is much more within you than comes out. And that makes you feel bummed, because you can't get a clear picture of what it is exactly.
  • Deep down you feel that you have 'something' to do, something with more impact and meaning. But you don't know what it is exactly, where to start or how to figure it out
  • You feel restless, because you recognise: your time is limited and something is missing. And that is not only true professionally, it also has an effect in your private life and within your relationship(s).
  • You are overthinking your current circumstances, you feel that change is necessary, but you do not get a clear picture of how. You feel insecure and frustrated because you have on this roundabout for far too long.
  • Endless pros and cons lists didn't get you any further. You miss a convincing YES.

IT'S TIME TO UNCOVER YOUR PURPOSE

I believe that everyone has a unique mission in life. It's a combination of our motivations, talents and personal vision.
A meaningful career and fulfilled life is truly available to everyone. Regardless of your current situation.

I's time to take ownership.

We're in a huge transition collectively, and now more than ever it is time to share your unique qualities, talents and personal stories with the world.

Firstly, because you want to make a positive and meaningful impact in this world. And secondly, for yourself to find the mental clarity and emotional peace that you so desire.

That's why, in addition to a line of text on my website, this is mainly an invitation.
An invitation to you to make powerful choices in your career and personal life.

To make autonomous choices that completely suit you. Know that you are needed. And know that you are exactly who you need to be and where you need to be at this point in your life, to be ready to recognise your purpose in life.

It’s impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life.

And it is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work.

Jim Collins

YOU DESIRE A LIFE THAT IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH WHO YOU ARE

You desire peace and a sense of fulfilment.

But let's be honest… How much longer can you hold up this way?
More importantly, how much longer will you accept this situation for yourself?

What price have you already paid? How much frustration, uncertainty and endless conversations with your partner, friends or family has this quest cost you already?

So what do you say? Are you ready to uncover your life's purpose?
To start feeling who you really are, to make a valuable impact. To start living the life you were born for.

Or would you rather stick around and try it yourself?

The choice is, of course, entirely yours.

In any case, it is not at all surprising that you face difficulties tuning in to your purpose. This society is focused on getting what we want. To achieve and doing. Far too often we adapt to outside expectations. Both in professional roles and in personal relationships. But with that we lose strength, courage and authenticity.

Allow yourself to learn the methods living from a place of authenticity.
So that you can make powerful, autonomous choices. Choices where your rational mind and inner feelings line up.
It's not a trick, it's a way of life. A way of life available to everyone.
Because it is your true nature.

Hi, my name is Dominique!

My name is Dominique van Wingerden. It is my purpose to guide others finding theirs.

When I was born in '88 into a down-to-earth butcher's family, I never thought I would help others aligning with their purpose: their calling in life. I was the child who always asked the deeper "why" questions, but who never received any satisfying answers.

Until I suddenly died during a boat accident when I was just fifteen years old. In one clear moment I gained insight into the meaning of life. It suddenly all made sense. Life itself, the purpose of it and how it was orchestrated. I suddenly remembered who and what I was and what I came to do here.

Yet, my own life's journey after this experience was far from easy. A burnout after quitting my PhD and even a second time 'at the gate' after giving birth to my daughter about eighteen years later, were needed to help me integrate what I realised at the time.

Dying gave me profound insight into the meaning of life. It taught me a lot about myself, but most of all it taught me how to live. The years after my near-death experience were completely dominated by my own healing process. Both personally and professionally, my focus was on learning to apply those insights.

Since 2015, I have been working full-time as a counselor in my practice Pause to Play. In which I guide others in their memory and healing process. It fulfills me deeply to be able to guide others in tuning in to their purpose and building a meaningful career.

    When I started the Know Yourself Coaching I felt drained and very down. I was still recovering from a burnout I’d gotten when trying to complete a PhD dissertation two years earlier.
