WHO WE ARE
Our mission: developing leaders with an
open mind and heart.
We are an independent network of seasoned leadership professionals who've had hybrid careers in business, leadership and coaching, and expertise in the human side of organisations.
Cathalijne Bol is the founder of The Junction and the first person you'll meet here. As an organisational psychologist with an international business background she coaches leaders & teams in organisations across the world.
Having lived and worked in 4 different continents during her career as a business leader at Unilever and later as a leadership coach, Cath discovered the universal human forces at play in organisations that drive motivation and success.
She has an executive master in organisational psychology at INSEAD business school and graduated with distinction on the subject of leadership development programmes catalysing positive change and high performance within organisations, which became the bedrock on which The Junction was founded. She is a certified professional coach at CTI since 2013 and at Barrett Values Centre since 2020.
Patricia
Leadership & Team Coach
Patricia is a psychologist, with a specialisation in systemic work in organisational and family systems. Her career started in the corporate world where she learned organisational dynamics from the inside. The most important lesson she learned here: no matter how brilliant a plan may be, forces in the undercurrent, psychological insecurity and egos are always stronger. Patricia has been coaching leaders and teams in change processes for ten years. She creates space for conversation, emotion and introspection, allowing individuals and teams to find simplicity in any complex situation.
People and the way we work together are the source of organisational success.
We are on a mission to develop leaders with an open mind and heart so they can get the best out of themselves and the people around them.
When people feel a sense of belonging, meaning, and wellbeing, they perform at their best. Especially now, when life in organisations has never been more turbulent and the pressure to perform increases.
Leaders who get this and reconnect with the human side of organisations as a way to overcome challenges and drive change are the leaders that we need.
