Ate Ploegmakers

With me, you can “let it go” and be yourself.

Meet Ate, a dynamic team coach with a passion for healthcare, education and government. Based in Rosmalen, where she lives with her husband and two children, Ate finds the perfect balance between her professional life and her love of cooking and spending time with family. As a nature lover, she knows how important it is to relax and recharge outside work. Her approach as a coach is anything but rigid; she is accessible to everyone and is known for her down-to-earth and open way of communicating. Ate’s unique ability to level up at different levels within an organisation makes her an excellent partner for any team.

In her training sessions, Ate uses a powerful combination of the DISC method and her own innovative approach, aimed at breaking through obstructive patterns within teams. Her sessions go beyond standard programmes; they create an environment where deeper layers of communication are exposed, which is essential for sustainable behavioural change. Ate’s programmes are specifically designed to promote safety and understanding within teams, allowing colleagues to better understand not only each other’s behaviour, but also the invisible dynamics affecting their interactions. With her hands-on approach and practical work formats, Ate ensures that every participant leaves the team training with valuable insights and tools to improve team dynamics. Managers in healthcare, education or government will discover that Ate’s approach is not only inspiring, but also directly applicable in their daily practice.
