De Vastloopcoach
My name is Nadine Lucas. I’m a goal-oriented and creative coach specializing in business and walking coaching.
As a coach, I’m open yet discerning, creative, and intuitive.
My guidance is built on carefully listening and sensing what you need, so we can work on it together while walking. I incorporate elements from nature as we move forward. By blending walking in nature with goal-setting and applying my expertise, we achieve sustainable results. You will gain greater insight into both your positive and limiting behavior patterns, and I help you face what may be difficult.
I listen without judgment, hold up a compassionate mirror, and think with you in a practical and down-to-earth way.
Just a few coaching sessions can make a big difference: greater self-confidence, more inner calm and relaxation, increased energy, and enhanced decisiveness.
The focus is on rediscovering your strength and applying it in your daily life, with an emphasis on the here and now. This way, you can feel happier and regain control of your life.
Biography Nadine Lucas
Nadine Lucas (1982) may still be relatively young, but she’s already a seasoned professional. The Dutch-German Lucas grew up in places like Scotland, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. These international experiences sparked a deep wanderlust in her, one that can only be satisfied by frequently leaving the chilly Netherlands behind. It’s no surprise that this highly experienced marketing and business professional gravitated toward jobs that either allowed her to live abroad full-time or required frequent travel.
It all started with Marketing
While most people start at the bottom after finishing their studies, Nadine began somewhere in the middle: her first job was as a marketing manager at an IT security distributor. In the years that followed, she steadily climbed the corporate ladder at various international IT, payment, and fintech organizations. Titles like Head of Marketing, Director of Marketing EMEA, and Manager of Global Marketing & Communications adorned her business cards, and she traveled all over the world. Yet, the higher she climbed, the less appealing the view became. There was little to no room left for further growth and development.
After years of hard work, like many of her generation, Nadine experienced burnout. Of course, it was an unpleasant experience, but in hindsight, it turned out to be an opportunity. An opportunity to discover what she truly wanted to do. Nadine spent a lot of time outdoors. She hiked part of the Pieterpad, (re)discovered her love for photography, and took up cooking with great passion. Photography and walking allowed her to let her creativity flow again, and slowly but surely, she bounced back.
Nadine makes a Career Shift
It was time for a complete change. Nadine decided to become her own boss. She still loves marketing but prefers it in the form of well-defined projects for start-ups and small-to-medium sized businesses. That’s why, in early 2020, she founded her marketing agency Be A Legend alongside De Vastloopcoach. Be A Legend combines creativity with strategy to bring the client’s story to life, together with—how could it be otherwise—an international team of freelancers.
Nadine is experienced, driven, and creative, but above all, she’s empathetic and, as she describes herself, “stubborn as hell.” Her greatest strength is that she truly listens—to her clients and their needs, but also to herself and her intuition. She’s committed to continuing her development in Life, Business, and Walking Coaching through her own initiative, De Vastloopcoach.
