About

I am Erik Schouten and I coach and train individuals and teams. I’m also a father of two little boys and a Shiftleader of the most productive container terminal in Europe for the third consecutive year now.

I work with people willing to invest in their future. People who are prepared to go to places that are challenging and are prepared to step out of their comfort zone for growth and development.
