Bernadette Laermans
TECH of our body
As energy coach at Randstad RiseSmart, and an eternal student, Bernadette has spent the last 15 years studying the power of our human brain and body. She combined this incredible knowledge with 20 years of labour market experience and coaching. Bernadette works with individuals at all levels, on becoming aware of their body, their balance and energy and its impact on their efficiency and happiness at work. All based on tools and science.
She also works with organisations to create a culture where, in addition to thinking, ‘feeling’ also has a place. By supporting them to create a safe environment, organisations give everyone a chance to embrace embodiment and make the most of and develop talents.
“My personal mission is to inspire people every day, in a business context and during my yoga classes, to bring out the best in themselves, to find peace, contentment or even happiness so they can inspire others too. The key lies in thinking, feeling and acting differently, not in doing more.”
Bernadette Laermans
