ASK THE EXPERT: What Brings You Confidence in Your Career & a Twinkle in Your Eye?

ASK THE EXPERT: What Brings You Confidence in Your Career & a Twinkle in Your Eye?

November 19, 2026

What sparks your drive in your career? 

Career coaching helps professionals identify their strengths, explore career opportunities and set clear professional goals. It provides personalised guidance and practical tools to build confidence, develop your skills and navigate the labour market more effectively.

 Join us for an interactive session with Rokus Harder, career coach and founder of Rokus Harder Coaching. Rokus has had a diverse international career spanning multiple industries, including service, marketing and general management in the Netherlands, India, Libya, and Turkey.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT

Rokus will take you on a career coaching journey. He will share practical insights on building self‑awareness and making meaningful professional choices.

This two-hour in-person event will give you a clear and practical introduction to the structured reflective journey used in career coaching.

You’ll learn the essential steps to: 

  • Build clarity and confidence about who you are and where your strengths lie. 
  • Identify what truly matters to you, the things that make your eyes twinkle. 
  • Use the above and your experience to find matching opportunities. 
  • Present yourself better in your profile and interviews. 

By combining concise theory with short, hands‑on exercises, participants will get a taste of each step in the career coaching process. Both the theory and practical samples will offer insights you can use to explore your career direction further. 

This is an in-person event.

Your core
takeaways will answer two important questions: “What steps will help you get a better view of your opportunities, and how do you use these insights?”

Secure your spot and discover how to stand out!
