Coaching + Strategy✨

  • SMART goalsetting based on defining the deepest transformational purpose of your heroic adventure

  • Full breakdown of the terrain you’re working on with all of the moving parts, audiences, stakeholders, and main leverage opportunities to make it through the journey

  • Analysis of main risks versus areas of support + tangible strategies and actionable steps for each one of them

  • Clear timeline and planning to hit your marks and still be flexible, with planning pivoting guidelines based on different potential scenarios

  • Razor sharp media & communication plan for every step of your project

  • Filling in blind spots using your new lean & mean infrastructure for external information input all throughout your project

  • Define and challenge inner dragons: what shadows to work through in this project?

  • The elixer that creates lasting change for you and around you. How will you distribute the gold?

If you’re frustrated, stagnating and overwhelmed regarding that one project that will change your life and change the world, congrats! You’re right on track.

Now let’s find out where to go and select and align all priorities around your personality style so that you can be sure of quick breakthroughs and sustainable project management.

You’ve got what it takes, if one of these things is true:

… Your launch or upscale of a artistic or social project is being deemed “irrelevant” by industry heavyweights yet “extremely relatable” by your target audience

… Your company’s hr & workflow is officially the responsibility of everyone yet no one, and when shit hits the fan you’re the only person who can and will crisis manage to fill the gaps

… Your career direction doen’t excite or fulfil you anymore and you want to use your experience to be a part of the solution, not the problem

… Your first or next funding round is crucial for the survival of your startup, yet you’re in deep enough to know what your exact competitive edge is and cannot afford to compromise on it for the sake of securing investment

… Your global impact institutional project pitch takes way too much effort to put through all the burning hoops as you compete with multinationals so you are now looking for a fast-track past the traditional hierarchy

Whatever the industry you’re working in and at what level of your career you are, you probably are:

+ a hardworking sigma stoic sigma wanting to experience flow instead

of overwhelm in your schedule

+ a curious & sensitive wild child when it comes to your professional ambitions and integrity standards

+ someone people open up to wherever you go even though your natural habitat truly is big sunglasses and a baseball cap, with a cat under a blanket or meditating in a bath tub

And that means you would benefit from:

! Communication plans that touches hearts

! Production infrastructures & creative solutions to safeguard your growth and desired outcome

! Representation of the marginalized leading edge information and experiences that your field needs to prioritize ASAP

! Funding & business model strategy aligning not compromising the purpose of your cause

! Genius zone focussed coaching and tight accountability using constant evaluation and refinement of your time management to get you through your own growth leaps and shadowwork too

! Crystal clear instructions on how to move through toxicity in your fields power structures the way Neo moves through bullets

If you hear the call, the quest is ready for you.

I live to use my corporate,

political & media experience to assist you. Let me obsess over every detail of the map we draw up together so we do ensure you come back to society to share the elixer & gold.

Move from compromises into alignment!

Let’s clear your path and make aligned adventure work ✨

YOUR

QUEST

What clients are saying:

““In tough industries, in ones where there is a lot of competition, in ones with traditional power relations – as in, spaces that aren’t very diverse – it’s really important to have a peer group. And then you have a space in your life where you can talk about everything that’s going on without constantly having to explain how things work. We only needed a couple of words to understand each other.”

— Robin Goudsmit (Environmental Reporter, on Hadjar Benmiloud’s Vileine Academy)

“After a year of working together, I’ve experienced the entire (executive strategic consultancy) process as especially enjoyable because of the way Hadjar truly takes you along on a road of understanding and action. And that says a lot haha, because many others had already tried with me on this subject before.”

— Harm van Taselaar, (former) editor-in-chief of RTL News NL on Vileine Consultancy

“Starting with a broad assessment of recurring situations and delving into deeper meaning and misunderstandings helped me practice a new way of thinking that I could not immediately bring into practice after the first session, but already helped me assess where to act with much more clarity.
Using the NYD Representation Toolkit helped me to differentiate between problems I was having. It gave me the tools I needed to identify my needs and clarify the specific problem or issue in every unique interaction. This enabled me to prevent getting lost in a broad or general discussion and instead focus on the issue at hand. At one instance I was surprised at the impact of the conversation, but also by the unexpected pleasantness and how quickly we were able to get to a conclusion. It helped me understand the views of my executive producer, without entering a polarizing discussion. It made me excited about more future focus and actions around developing real and sustainable Representation, where before after such interactions I often felt hopeless or disillusioned.”

— Kaja Bouman (Freelance journalist at various legacy newsrooms, after 3 weeks of Not Your Diversity coaching & toolkits)

“In the coaching sessions with Hadjar I’ve learned a lot about the Representative framework and how to focus looking through that lens using it in my direct surroundings.

Understanding around what and how to create awareness was most important to me and the concrete action points and strategic approach Hadjar shared with me has been and still is very supporting to my work. 

Also, the Innovators Roadmap gave me anchors to get to my destination. I always felt totally safe and free to say anything and ask anything in the personal sessions with Hadjar, which created a pleasant environment to reflect and grow in.“

— Liselot van der Klift, editor and project initiator at the Dutch National Press Agency after two coaching sessions and using the Innovators Toolkit of Not Your Diversity)
