Richard graduated in Sportstudies at Windesheim. During his studies he developed a passion for outdoor and worked for several outdoor companies throughout his college time. This experience, combined with his drive and the conviction that he could offer something better and more professional, resulted in establishing Lifestyle Adventures in 1990. Initially an organisation that offered outdoor/teambuilding activities to companies. PriceWaterhouseCoopers, DSM, Nashuatec and UWV were among his first clients.
His eagerness to develop himself, and his company, resulted in becoming a (DISC) trainer, supervisor, coach, mediator and obtaining a master in conflict management (MCM).
After studying account management and Business Psychology, Cathelijne started her career in the temp agency world (reintegration, recruitment and selection).
This is where she developed her expertise in creating opportunities for and guiding (young) people. Throughout her career, Cathelijne had the opportunity to get close insight in how businesses – varying from big corporate or industrial organisations to small/medium businesses – face challenges in dealing with Human Capital. To her dissatisfaction, a lot
of human potential seemed wasted.
Cathelijne’s interest in human potential was also expressed through her love for (career)coaching. After obtaining her diploma at The Coach Academy and Adviesbureau Hoogendijk she started coaching people on a daily basis. Her strength is her focus on someone’s drive and dreams, while guiding them towards realizing their goals.

Integrity. Personal and professional. We are a value driven company. We act responsibly with a commitment to a conscientious and productive performance. We commit to a spirit of collegiality with an emphasis on both cooperation and collaboration, by taking responsibility and ownership for our actions and behaviour and respect each person as an individual. We accept value differences within every organisation. We extend our respect to both our clients and ourselves.
Connection. People are the core of every company. It’s not the machines and procedures that make the difference, it’s the people. They are the brand ambassadors of the company. Therefore, we challenge people’s leadership in order to push their dream forwards and create a productive way of living.
Co-operation. Teamwork makes the difference. The way we used to work or organize our life is different from 10 years ago. Nowadays, we work in team where all the qualities come together. Collaboration to us is based on common goals, a clear vision and agreements, tasks and results. We believe that people who work together as a team motivate each other, create energy and team spirit and achieve the best results.
Service Orientation. We offer services and expertise to our clients with care and commitment. We are approachable, empathetic and use our abilities to listen and assess our clients’ needs, attaining the highest quality outcomes in our efforts. Responding with efficiency and effectiveness.
Results. Productive and successful. We create a platform for success and the spirit to innovate. As we believe success starts with the desire, a picture of how live could be. When people are successful, they get into a flow of energy, power, joy and excitement. Making the difference and change in our lives depends on the challenges we are willing to take in order to achieve our goals; both personal and professional.
