My name is Olaf Scheffers and as a child I was fascinated by the underwater world. I could watch endless documentaries by Jacques Cousteau and draw pictures of divers in the deep blue sea. The drive and passion for discovering and investigating what lies beneath the surface has never left me. Both the literal blue depth of the sea and the emotional layers and depths of humans.

 

After I took my first diving course on Bonaire as a 19 year old, I knew from that moment on that I wanted to become a diving instructor, and so it happened. I really wanted to share my love for the underwater world with people. It is a fantastic experience to guide people on their first leap into the depths of the sea.

​

From my profession as a diving instructor, I switched to the business world where I started training people as a trainer and guiding them in their professional development. Partly due to my own personal development during those years, I started to focus on training people in personal leadership, management and leadership skills. Here I discovered that one-on-one coaching was a very powerful tool to help people move forward in their personal and professional lives

​

In 2022 I certified as an ICF performance coach with the International Coaching Federation. I completed the training at Performance Consultants International.

During this training I learned a lot about coaching people on their own strengths and potential. It always feels like a privilege to help people move forward in their lives. Not to teach them something, but to help them learn.

This year (2024) I started the PRT training at the Aumm institute. This is a body-oriented (psycho) therapeutic training based on inner child work.
