This session is by Gabriela Lodewijks, an emotional intelligence mentor and coach for Expat Spouses Initiative’s Women for Women program.
She will host an interactive session about her personal journey towards success after moving to the Netherlands.
A GLOBAL MOBILITY STORY OF RESILIENCE
Once a woman searching for her path, today a leader helping others rise.
After moving to the Netherlands, she faced rejection, uncertainty, and had to rebuild her life from zero– even selling meat door-to-door as her first step to entrepreneurship.
What once felt like a broken chapter became the foundation of strength. Through self-awareness, emotional growth, and resilience, Gabriela transformed not only her life but the way she connects with others.Â
Today, she is a mentor and trainer supporting people from all walks of life to break toxic patterns, strengthen emotional intelligence, and step confidently into their power.
Her story is not just about overcoming challenges — it’s about becoming unstoppable, and inspiring others to do the same.Â
INSPIRATION TO MOTIVATION
Gabriela’s story reflects those of many in the international community who have come to the Netherlands.
From this event, you will draw inspiration from a personal story of someone who has built a successful career, learn how to reset with purpose after professional setbacks, and forge ahead with new determination and positivity.
