Leadership & breathwork

Koen Brinkgreve

On paper you would say I facilitate leadership training and breathwork. In essence I’ll take you along on my journey to live more authentically and more truthful. To meet yourself and others on a deeper level. While you need courage to do this, you’ll mostly likely find that a new strength and aliveness will rise from within.

I served as an officer for the Royal Dutch Army for sixteen years. At the frontline I experienced what it meant to synchronise body, mind and spirit for optimal performance. Under these extreme conditions I learned to lead from a deeper place. Cultivating trust because our lives depended on it. Leading with clarity, openness and vision.

Today I bring these experiences together in my in company immersions, retreats and 1:1 mentorship programs.

Join me on this journey

  • Beyond the mask - company leadership training

    An in-company immersion for teams that want to cultivate courageous leadership and facilitate true connection. Showing up with their authentic selves and creating a transparent safe culture.

  • 1:1 mentorship

    Feel the call to dive deeper? I support courageous leaders to live and lead from their full potential, through individual breathwork and coaching.

  • Workshops & Retreats

    Into the wilderness, the mountains and into the self. Meeting ourselves deeper in nature supported by other teachers bringing in their own flavor and expertise to these journeys.

“Koen is a leader you trust intuitively. He knows how to create a safe environment for the group in which deep connection and camaraderie can take place incredibly fast. While the physical and mental challenges take you deeper inside yourself. The breathwork sessions and spiritual lessons made it complete.”

Certified wim hof breath work coach

"Breath for me was the key to the unlock my inner peace"'

After I have been working with the breath to integrate my experiences from my missions I decided to get certified as a breathcoach. I have been trained in several styles of breathwork, I’m a certified Wim Hof instructeur and I continuously develop my knowledge in this field.

Intervention consultant for companies

The art of intervention consultancy is to find what is alive in the undercurrent in every organisation. Why don't we do what we say that we do? The answers to this can be found in the irrational domain of every organisation. It is up to the leaders to go there and ask the difficult and sometimes unpopulair questions. To become a more conscious leader I followed an intense program with Eric Koenen en Jacqueline Willeboordse to deepen my understanding in these patterns.
