Swier Miedema Owner at Strength Management Consulting

Swier is an excellent senior executive with very deep strategic, operational and systems experience. He is a great people manager with excellent problem-solving skills. He has successfully led strategic transformational initiatives at Logica and various companies, significantly improving efficiency and effectiveness in their operations. He is driven by success, demands much of himself and others, has very high standards, is very results oriented and organized. He is also fair, extremely bright, curious, passionate about learning and is a very good teacher and mentor. Swier would be a valuable addition to any organization and I am proud to recommend him

I have experienced Swier as a excellent coach. He is one of the few people who can give someone a personal insight in oneself. Due to his personal insights he gave me strength in a difficult period and teached me how to explore and use my strengths. He can read between the lines en really let you see the issue that lies beneath the surface. With his way of asking questions you get confronted with yourself. I have achieved a lot since Swier was my coach. I still remember his words in difficult times and that ensures me to reach my goals.
My favorite quote is: "Be the change you wish to see in the world". Well I can say: "Thank you Swier for being my change and my strength to see the world.

Swier heeft mij opnieuw in laten zien waar het mij nu in de kern om draait bij het ondernemen met ELIGO. Met de focus op mijn waarden en een duidelijk doel heb ik nog beter richting kunnen bepalen. Het gevolg is dat voor mijn klanten ook veel duidelijker is waar ik voor sta, wat ik doe en waar ik het voor doen. Op rustige wijze en integere wijze heeft Swier mij gefaciliteerd en gestimuleerd bij dit proces.

For the past six months Swier has been my coach. His coaching programme is very appealing to me because of his focus on my values and talents in relation to my goals. I'm very pleased with the results so far (I'm half way the programme).
What I most value during our sessions is the way he relates to me: he's able to tune into my mood and feelings. As a result of that he asks the right questions, he's sharp in his remarks and he gives me the desire to get the best out of me. During our coaching sessions Swier provides a safe environment and is able to push me further without me noticing he’s doing that (I realize it after the session). Furthermore he’s very engaged, fun to be around, understanding and he truly handles in your best interest. I’m looking forward to our following sessions.

Swier has in a short term proven to be a very good coach. Within half a year Swier coached me and showed me my strenghts, made me think about my values and their correlations. He showed me what it can mean to me in work and life. Every session we discussed progress, hard lines and he suggested actions to me and gave me advice. Very valuable! Thanks Swier!

Swier is a very supportive and committed coach. Because of his genuine interest and precise questions he was able to make me become more aware of and focus on my strengths. Swier has a broad set of skills and is able to switch in a very natural way from a more philosophical to pragmatic style. With that style he made me think and work hard, but with the desired results.

I was inspired by Swier’s positive attitude and his passion of coaching and helping people to discover their top talent’s and using them to reach their top goal’s. Since more than one year I have followed the training program by Swier. Each time after the coaching sessie I am highly motivated and grateful. After the first year being coached bij hem I have performed far aboved the expectation of my manager.

I have known Swier for most of my working career and he has become a good friend. During our early years in IT we had lots of very fruitful discussions and challenges that he handled very well. I enjoy his company as a peer, always being able to discuss the challenges in life.

Although Swier and I only worked together for 2 years, he always showed a committed and positive attitude to improving the company, and came up with several new ideas on how to create opportunities for the company which he pursued with vigor.

Swier is a very motivated Management Consultant with a good commercial feel. Swier's special interest is what motivates people and how to coach individuals as well as how to improve organisations in their people management and culture.
