THE BELONG NETWORK DIFFERENCE
Be more you – embrace your true self.
The Belong Network believes the heart of the matter is recognizing and nurturing the authentic self. Reaching back to parts of yourself you’ve forgotten or neglected, engaging in signature strengths and exploring new parts yet discovered, we can generate fresh perspectives and possibilities for you. When aligned with who you are and what you value most, purpose and passion is revitalized for you to experience greater engagement, satisfaction and potential in your work and relationships.

Your coaching questions, answered.
How many sessions would I need to book?
Each person is different but typically clients prefer at least 5 sessions to find awareness, create action steps and generate traction.
Why not just ask my family or friends for help?
I offer objective listening aiming to make you aware of limiting beliefs and blindspots that have a potential to be shared with your family and friends. I’m here to foster change and accountability while your friends and family can become an additional support network as you integrate action steps toward your goals.
What is coaching?
It is a positive, future-oriented process where clients, as experts, collaboratively explore resources through meaningful questions to connect with values, set goals, and implement habits for growth. We do not look to the past to heal wounds, diagnose or professionally lead action plans.
True belonging doesn't require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.

Laura Schouten
Hey there! I'm not one for the hard sell; instead, my coaching approach involves gentle invitations with thoughtful questions and opportunities when you're ready. I prioritize “being” more over “doing” more and advocate for facing life's complexities with a touch of humour and the support of community. When I’m not coaching you'll find me in spin classes, paddling with my dragon boat team, immersed in a good book, and cherishing family time – especially with my grandson. Deep and wholehearted conversations are my fuel!
