No company can outperform its leadership
From expert to leader
Leadership development & Coaching
You built your career by being the expert. Now the challenge is different: delegating without losing oversight, having difficult conversations early, and setting direction instead of having all the answers. That shift is what we work on.
About us
“Authentic leadership starts with self-awareness “
At BolsterKracht, we work with leaders that want to lead with integrity, authenticity, and impact. We help them improve how they communicate, make decisions, manage people, and navigate complexity- especially in fast-changing environments. Our goal is to equip leaders to have real, measurable impact in their teams and organizations.
Our Story
BolsterKracht was founded in 2015 by Niels Loendersloot. With a background in computer science, Niels started his career as an engineer before shifting his focus to leadership and team development. He developed a practical leadership model that combines analytical thinking (IQ) with emotional intelligence (EQ), now central to BolsterKracht’s approach.
Niels is one of roughly 5% of ICF-credentialed coaches worldwide to hold the Master Certified Coach credential, ICF’s highest level. It is awarded on the basis of recorded real coaching sessions, assessed against a published standard. For you, that means a coach who doesn’t need a script: someone who hears what sits beneath the technical problem and knows when to push and when to hold space.
BolsterKracht is known for its direct, no-nonsense approach to coaching, workshops and leadership programs- focused on raising self-awareness, tackling practical challenges, and driving results.
