ABOUT DANIËLLE
Labor and Organizational psychologist in heart and soul, health scientist, strongly focused on servant leadership and innovative analyst. Likes to cook, is always looking for special wines, enjoys life, her family, friends, cats, reading and complex puzzles. Married to Marnix and mother of 2 beautiful daughters. Yellow and orange are the dominant drive colors.
My personal mission is to give people handles that make them feel good about themselves. As the daughter of an occupational expert, my interest in people's behavior in relation to work, team and organizations arose. The choice to study Health Sciences was very logical for me: I learned more about human behaviour in relation to biology, (epi)genetics and the context in which a person finds himself. I then went to work in a large rehabilitation centre, where I did research into work load and (work) capacity. Coaching employees with work-related stress complaints and complex issues at the intersection of work and health give me energy.
The feeling that you're on the right track, that you've found the one piece that interests you, has led me, next to my job, to start again with a study Labor and Organizational Psychology. I developed a special interest in corporate anthropology (cultural aspects in an organization), team functioning and personal leadership. In mid-2018 I also completed the course Effective Leadership at the University of Groningen. With this theoretical foundation - but especially with the practical experiences of everything that goes well (and not so well...) - I can offer tools for development. In these special times, in which the retention of employees and therefore knowledge and know-how is essential for the continued existence of organizations, that is essential'.
The secret of leadership is simple: follow your heart!
ABOUT EDMÉE
Social scientist and result-oriented visionary. Married to Erik and mother of 2 energetic boys. Loves traveling, her labrador, cooking and enjoys yoga and socializing in combination with Daniëlle's special wine discoveries. In her drives pretty green and yellow.
"Human Being Management has actually always lived in me. Through a few detours, after graduating in Business Administration, I continued to specialize in Strategic HRM. When I had held various positions and roles in international business for years, things started to tickle and I became restless. I wanted more. More depth. Every year I followed a training course, eager to learn and driven as I am. My own burn-out then led me to really know what I want and what energizes me.
My passion for people, cultures and organizations is my inner drive to work together and to pursue a people-oriented culture in organizations. In my opinion, win-win situations can only arise when talents are optimally and sustainably developed and deployed. In this way everyone's individual strengths form the perfect match and the organization can flourish. It is an oil slick that is growing. I very much want to be the inspirational factor in all of this and breathe out amplition in everything I do."
Connection, that's what it's all about!

I like to help people and organizations that want to continue to develop in the light of the changing spirit of the times and attach importance to coherence, integrity and impact. I do this from a meta perspective from which you can set course towards a sustainable future. For yourself, your employees, your customers, your shareholders and the world as a whole. It is my mission to make organizations more coherent'.
Transformation and transition issues give me energy, I take care of movement, dynamics and the right course. Started with a Bachelor in Hospitality Management for a healthy basis servant leadership. Later on developed as a strategist and steward during an international MBA. And after having been entrepreneur in electric cars, a little too far ahead of the music, I deepened my knowledge of transition management as a fresh-minded & cross-thinking person. The last couple of years I have been focusing on the mental legacy of coherence. In the full conviction that organizational development issues should be approached holistically for truly sustainable results. For me this is threefold: happiness at work, truly distinctive customer value and also the right honestly earned profit.
Happiness is the only thing that multiplies when you share it!
ABOUT CARIN
Enthusiastic organiser and likes to bring structure with positive attention to others. Married to Darren and mother of daughter Stella. Karateka and Marie Kondo fan. In love with Maastricht and Amsterdam. Enjoy sailing and supping through the Amsterdam canals and running in South Limburg.
Trained as a speech therapist, she then gained work experience in various sectors and positions. It is the dynamics and the great variety of contacts as a pivot in an organisation that bring her happiness at work. This resulted in the versatile role of Office Manager. My work is successful when all the pieces of the puzzle have been found and then fall into place and connect. Not for nothing are her motives quite green, blue with a touch of red. In her spare time, as a member of the PR team, she is involved in the association Veldeke Krink Mestreech, which enthuses people to start and continue speaking and writing Maastricht dialect.
Convinced that coincidence does not exist, which is why there are always surprising adventures on her path. Naturally curious and genuinely interested in everything and everyone, which reflects the diversity of her circle of friends and network. Every day she is amazed by her child's way of thinking. This gives her inspiration to apply daily in her work at Amplitia.
Attention is the key word!
ABOUT CECIEL
Neuropsychologist by background, but now above all a calm, objective, people-oriented and empathic all-round gz-psychologist. She is married to a very enterprising man and is also the mother of an energetic, cheerful and just as enterprising daughter. The three of them love to go out and often end up on a terrace. She likes hiking, preferably in the Austrian mountains, where she prefers to ski in winter. She is also in love with Budapest.
"In health care, attention is often only paid to the symptoms and what is not going well. By getting a picture of the person in his or her entire context, you can see why someone has become stuck, but also what is needed to help someone get back on track. I do this in an open and transparent way. I am not an all-knowing psychologist, but stand beside the person and help to discover certain limiting patterns and to break through these. I like to create a safe setting where the difficult aspects of life can be discussed and emotions are allowed to be there. During the conversations I use different psychological interventions that are tailored to the person and the question. Step by step, gaining new experiences that make someone feel strengthened to go further in life and make the choices that are valuable to him or her."

ABOUT MARJOLEINE
Social psychologist, ACT coach, specialised in neurodiversity. To keep her own balance, she relaxes by doing yoga and moving around in nature, and likes to play on stage. She has four powerful and sensitive (young) men in her life: Chris and their three sons. They always keep her on her toes and their authenticity and cheerfulness are contagious. Her environmental sensitivity and experiences make her easy to talk to and accessible to a variety of people. Her colours are red and green.
In the various roles I have had, my greatest motivation has always been to activate and motivate people towards autonomy and mental well-being. My career started as a social pedagogical worker. I have worked with various people in vulnerable positions. My need to understand human motives and the language they use in this process led me to study social psychology at the University of Amsterdam. This is also where I got my teaching qualification, with which I started working at the Hogeschool Pedagogiek. As a teacher and trainer, I was able to guide young professionals in their professional development to become powerful pedagogues. In the role of training actor, I let people experience the impact of their (non verbal) communication and how they can use it to achieve their goals.
Because I saw more and more that stress, burn-out and bore-out were getting in the way of people's happiness at work, I started to investigate individual coaching in which the development of resilience is central. With a toolbox of exercises and interventions, I guide people in recognising their strengths and using them for sustainable happiness at work. As a coach, I can use humour and lightness to create a safe atmosphere where discomfort and vulnerability are allowed to be. In this way, we can get to where the problem is and from there move on towards autonomy and growth. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is clearly visible in my thinking, acting and communication. Finally, I can use the holistic technique of Mind Eye Power to guide clients in releasing blockages.
In vulnerability lies strength!
ABOUT BERDIEN
How happy I am to be working at Amplitia. Amplio in Latin literally means "increase, multiply, improve," and I speak from experience when I say that increasing individual (work) happiness can be a challenging path. The biggest challenge I found was planning and dreaming while accepting and embracing daily reality.
I was born and raised in Vaassen, Gelderland, but Valkenburg beckoned when my father started a campground there 20 years ago. That's also where I met my husband. Now 3 tough little guys down the road, we live in his hometown of Margraten, where we can often be found on his parents' farm. We make few plans and enjoy touring, eating and hiking. In doing so, we regularly cross the border for a nice special beer.
There is always a question that pops up that I want to see answered when it comes to human behavior. The inquisitive nature of Utrecht University therefore suited me well; this is where I studied Work and Organizational Psychology. Behind professionalism lies strength. Approaching psychology from this strength is what energizes me. I gained my work experience in various change processes in the business world, particularly in large companies. Valuable experiences that I take with me into what really works.
Everyone has unique qualities and strengths. The key is to identify those and utilize them.
Be weird. Be random. Be who you are, because you never know who would love the person you hide.

ABOUT MIRANDA
Together with my husband Thijs and dog Sjappie I live in Echt. We have a composite family with 4 children, the last of which has recently flown out. Hiking, yoga, zumba and dancing are regularly on my program. Cosy dinners, outings, culture and nature are not to be missed. Years ago now, after a pleasant student time in Nijmegen, I graduated as a Basic Psychologist Clinical Psychology and Personality Studies and since 2013 I am NIP registered. My drive to keep learning in life has led me to take courses in CBT, EMDR, Mindfulness and EFT. In addition, in 2019, I completed the postgraduate training to become a Clientcentered Play Therapist in Antwerp.
My work style is person-centered, from a holistic view, with attention to body and mind, coping, personality and meaning. Directly to the heart of the matter. With humor, perspective and the necessary confrontation, I teach my clients to connect with themselves. What is going on in them, and then translate this into their needs.
Collaboration, equality and practicality characterize my approach. I always focus psychological counseling on lasting change.
If you have work that suits you and in it you can pursue your own values, then you are in the right place. Let's search for work happiness together!
ABOUT SANNE
Occupational therapist and occupational therapist, focused on supporting people to function and participate as optimally as possible in daily life.
Lives together with Jeroen in South Limburg and likes to be outdoors, loves gardening, cycling in the Heuvelland or hiking in for example the Veluwe or the Highlands. Likes to read a good book, watch a nice series and loves sociability.
'After completing occupational therapy training, I gained experience treating people in specialist medical rehabilitation and occupational rehabilitation. This can include people with various conditions, including amputations, trauma, complex heart and organ problems or mental health issues. I admire how people with health problems can regain value in their lives and return to daily activities in a different way or with assistance(resources).
After working in the rehabilitation setting, I started working as an occupational health and safety expert for an occupational health and safety service. I strive to balance the (work) load and load capacity of people in work, support in the prevention/recovery of disability and actively look at the possibilities in work and the work capacity of people. Work is a big part of daily life for many people, which can be difficult for both employees and employers if a person is not balanced or in his/her strength. That's why I like to think along!

Mission, Vision and Core Values
Mission
Our mission is to create sustainable organisations by letting them experience how powerful working from amplition, from individual happiness at work, is.
Vision
It's unique to live now, in a change of era. In which a new societal order arises, the economy is completely turned upside down and there is also a change of power. In this changing, uncertain, complex and unpredictable world, companies have a greater chance of surviving (sustainably) if they develop a change strategy. Given the disruptive nature of all current and upcoming changes, we can state that companies need to permanently adapt to disruptive change. This requires a continuous change strategy (transition strategy), from a new orientation, focused on new customers and much more sustainable revenue models.
In that force field, we want to help entrepreneurs and companies make the right choices, aimed at more well-being instead of just prosperity, so that they can participate in the continuous changes in a sustainable and dignified manner. We want to help to focus on happiness at work, because that is where the key to success lies.
Companies are important in people's lives, not only for what they produce, but especially as a social construct and as an employer (source of income). A company is more than the sum of the individuals who work there, but they are the DNA of the company. Our goal is to get companies to focus more on happiness at work, because we believe that happy employees automatically provide happy customers and therefore happy shareholders.
In other words from happiness at work to value to profit.
