What clients say about us:
Elsemieke Nieuwenhuijzen Kruseman
Wouter radiates confidence. I immediately felt at ease to say whatever came to mind. He created a nice atmosphere that made me go to coaching sessions with much pleasure. The trajectory was professional and successful. It’s made me realize that I don’t have to choose a job I was trained for, but I can choose for what truly makes me happy. I recently started a new job in a different field, which has been nothing but positive.
Gert Westerbroek
Powerful People offers a comprehensive and well-structured career coaching programme with its Professional Power Programme. Thanks in part to the Reflact assessment, you gain a better understanding of your natural and acquired qualities. This made it feel like a complete package to me. For me, this programme delivered 100% of what I was looking for. And the great thing is: the journey to get there is really enjoyable!
Arjan Smit
Situations, circumstances, knowledge, new environments, etc. constantly change your personal and professional life. We quickly hit it off! Wouter is a fresh, enthusiastic and decisive sparring partner who, based on the Reflact measurement methodology, has given me new insights, as well as in increasing my decision-making space to make the right choices for myself. This was really spot on! I would recommend coaching to everyone, especially with the qualities of Wouter Metz.

In all that we do, we strongly adhere to our core values:
Freedom
We believe that true success begins with freedom. The freedom to choose, to feel, to create, and to live life on your own terms. Internally and externally. Freedom isn’t about escaping responsibility; it’s about aligning your work with your truth and being free from your own automatic responses.
Love
At the heart of every meaningful change is love. For yourself, your values, your work, and the people you impact. We meet our clients with deep presence and compassion, and we guide them to connect with what matters. Our coaching is rooted in respect, connection, and unconditional love.
Sustainability
Sustainability means more than being good for the planet. It means being good for you. We help build careers that you can grow with, not grow out of. Ones that energize rather than exhaust, that evolve with your life, and that support the world around you. A sustainable world starts with you.
Development
Growth is natural when you feel safe, seen, and supported. We believe in lifelong learning – but not the hustle kind. Development with us is about expansion, curiosity, and conscious evolution. Together, we uncover your potential and translate it into real, tangible steps.
Celebration
We believe joy is not just a reward at the finish line – it’s fuel for the journey. At Powerful People, we celebrate small wins, big shifts, new insights, and courageous steps. We make space for gratitude, play, and the magic of simply being human.
