Trenches engaged Hande for several reasons: (i) to put an organisational structure in place; (ii) to guide senior executives on their Trenches’ journey to achieve set goals; and (iii) to help senior executives believe in their abilities.

Hande was amazing – she is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and that shows in the guidance she gives. She has such an ability to make you believe in yourself and that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. She also has you deal with issues that have had a big impact on your life, whether they be positive or negative experiences, and helps you realise why you have a certain behaviour. You come away from Hande after an hour having achieved so much and emotional but in a good way! I have learned so much about myself, the abilities I have and the dreams that I know I can make happen……..

Happy Clients

 

“ I was newly appointed into a senior role on our Senior Leadership Team when I started working with Hande .  I lacked confidence in my abilities and felt like I was out of my depth.  Hande helped me to work through this, her straight talking approach helped me to see that I was capable, she challenged my thinking and helped me to realise that I CAN do it. I feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Hande.

“Only after 2 sessions, I now, know the reason for my overly-emotional reactions in business matters, but more importantly, I know that I can change those reactions. I made this decision. I know that my feelings are data and do not define me. Hande’s approach and support changed things fundamentally in me!”

—SS, Sales director, Amsterdam, nl

“In every coaching session Hande was able to tactfully start without making me feel in a rush. I always felt it was perfectly fine to be 100% honest, and simply be myself. Her openness, accepting manner, and her frank smile made the sessions completely non-judgemental. The sessions we had helped me to get clarity on the problems bothering me and they were great help in my journey and I am now where I always wanted to be”

—PVL, global startegy executive, academy for digitilization and sustainability, ECuador

" I worked with Hande during a difficult time of my life. I quit my job and we started our sessions just before that. I was going through a personal transformation as I realised that I was not happy with my job but did not know what to do. Hande helped to realise what really matters in life. Her provoking style of questions always made me think about my own answers not only during the sessions but also later. If it was not the sessions with her, I would not be here in my life as a happy person".

Working with Hande has been an enlightening experience, Hande has opened my eyes to the way I view myself personally and professionally and as well as equipping me with new tools has enabled me to use the ones I already had at my disposal to progress. I can be 100% honest with Hande in my sessions – there is no judgment from her, only empathy, kindness, and support.  I always leave a session with Hande feeling inspired and motivated, she has been fundamental in my growth as a professional so far .”

“It was an eye opener on all aspects of my life. What I learnt about myself and my potential can’t ever be unlearnt and is now part of who I have become, who I am. You are a great coach. I am so glad our paths have crossed." .

“We were at the crossroads of changing the way we do business or loose everything we have build so far. Hande with her astute and no nonsense style helped us to set a strategy that works for us and then helped us to build on it. Where we are now, a successful business, is all down to her veracity”

Hande has been a great catalyst in my business life. What I value most about her is the combination of deep human understanding and business skills. Her insanely insightful yet objective questions changed my life for the better. I am grateful to her for that.
