Prior to hiring Dr. Pelzer as my coach I was struggling, both personally and professionally. Gerrit has helped me with both.

With Gerrit I’ve found a skilled consultant, and a good listener. He’s taken time to understand my personal life, which sets the background for my struggles at work. Through a structured yet flexible program, I’ve made a lot of progress in the few months we’ve been working together.

Through a series of exercises and discussions I’ve been able to:

-clarify my priorities in life
-objectively understand my position in my career
-set clear steps toward achieving my goal of a new job that will be more aligned with my interests and values
-reduce the day to day pressures that were wasting my valuable energy
-waste less time on ‘non core’ tasks, both personally and professionally

Dr. Gerrit has provided me with a custom made program of coaching. He clearly has a bag full of tools, and but only pulls out the ones that will benefit me at the time. Through discussions of common experiences, he made me feel like he’s been in my shoes. I believe he creates this feeling with all his clients.

"I approached Dr. Pelzer for coaching before undertaking a dramatic career change. I was considering a move to a Fortune 500 company and this was very unfamiliar territory for me. I had previously worked with a life coach but was looking in this case for a more executive approach.

Dr. Pelzer has a confident but relaxed approach to his coachees. He is highly attentive, very knowledgable and has the ability to remember intricate details from previous sessions.

Dr. Pelzer has helped me considerably through a tough decision making time to gain clarity, increased
confidence and renewed energy.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Pelzer to anyone considering executive coaching."

"My job as Corporate Education Leader covers Asia Pacific; constructive communication skill is vital in between the US and Asia. Through Dr. Gerrit Pelzer's workshop, I have learned about various personality types and how we think and react differently in the same situations.

His workshop definitely helped me to broaden my view of the DIFFERENCE and provided me a chance to put myself in the other person’s shoes. It is useful in both my personal and professional life to reduce conflicts with others.

Gerrit delivered messages to everyone very clearly even though we had 24 participants from 12 different countries.

According to our internal survey, 100% of participants replied either strongly agree or agree for the question 'I can take what I learned in this session and apply it to my job.'

Gerrit is well organized speaker who knows how to deliver clear messages to everyone. It would be nice if he can expand his business to Asia as a whole."

"Gerrit Pelzer guided me through a structured coaching process that helped me see the big picture. As a result of the coaching I see my business unfolding more clearly, and I feel more confident as entrepreneur. I recommend Gerrit as a professional coach to anyone seeking support in gaining clarity about their professional goals and achieving them."

Magnus F., Entrepreneur, Sweden

"Today I got a great score in my annual review - higher than I rated myself, although I thought I was pushing it already. My boss mentioned that I improved significantly since I started the executive coaching with Dr. Gerrit Pelzer!"

Billy, Manager, Thailand

"Gerrit Pelzer helped me gain more clarity on my goals. I feel more focused, and follow-up more consistently on achieving these goals. Gerrit has the necessary theoretical background to transfer substantial knowledge into practical use that produces results. His ability to create an atmosphere of trust makes his coaching utmost effective. I recommend Gerrit’s executive coaching particularly for managers who want to improve their capabilities in setting the right goals and achieving them."

Torsten, Managing Director, Bangkok

"Gerrit has the emotional and intellectual horse power under the bonnet to be really insightful and asked provocative questions that made me think about challenging issues more positively. He is reliable, logical and working with him has given me much greater clarity on my business niche. As a consequence I know how to take my business forward. Having an ‘impartial confidant’ has proved to be really beneficial and ensured I stayed focused on what mattered. Gerrit’s coaching program gets at the nub of self-limiting beliefs and instills a ‘can-do’ attitude. Coaching with Gerrit worked for me and I highly recommend him! "

Richard, Head of Recruitment, UK



"Overall, I was highly impressed with Dr. Gerrit’s personable and professional approach to coaching, as was my audience. He combines a very natural presentation style with engagement of the audience, clear concepts and results driven content which actively demonstrates his expertise in this field and ability to get instant results.”

David, Senior Manager, Thailand

I relocated to Thailand with my company in pursuit of further professional and personal development. Very soon after arriving, I realised that challenges with a new environment and much broader role, were a lot greater than I imagined, nor prepared for. The result was unproductive mind-talk and lack of traction that needed a focused and supportive approach to get me aligned to the challenge that I was embarking upon.

Gerrit helped me to identify the source of my problems and - more importantly - find solutions: within less than three months, I re-gained my direction and focus and started to ‘enjoy the journey’ much more and started to deliver some solid results. Today, I feel at ease, and I deal confidently with the inevitable daily challenges.

I am truly delighted I decided for coaching with Gerrit. Gerrit’s style is natural and relaxed while at the same time he holds up the mirror and quickly digs persistently to the core of a problem. I always felt strongly supported and encouraged.

What I think makes Gerrit truly unique is his true passion and persistence for his clients’ success."

Ross, Director, Thailand

“Dr. Pelzer’s MBTI workshop was not only an extremely enjoyable and insightful exercise for our entire team, but also has had a lasting effect that continues to benefit the participants many months post workshop. I would highly recommend Gerrit and hope to work with him on various team development initiatives in the near future.”

Matt, Managing Partner, China

Gerrit, in my opinion, is an excellent coach. Clearly he is quite bright and is a voracious reader, and he frequently brings references from his “library” to the table in the coaching session in a way that helps shake up perception powerfully. He is empathic but professional, insightful, patient, and has the right combination of flexibility coupled with a willingness to hold the client accountable. It has been my experience that some people who focus too much on accountability without an appreciation for the interference of “real life” come across as harsh and unrealistic; those who fail to confront appropriately, of course, are at risk of not helping the client reach his or her goals. Gerrit falls in neither camp, instead making the client feel supported and encouraging movement towards goals whether flexibility or accountability is called for. He has a well-developed sense of humor, which he applies appropriately and judiciously. It not only aids with rapport building but also in its own way helps with the development of greater insight and clarity. He is very good at focusing a conversation and helping the client narrow an area in which to work when needed. On a final note I will add that I am a doctoral level psychotherapist of more than twenty years experience and have been concerning myself with matters such as rapport building, use of confrontational skills, accountability, and change agents for above these two decades, and that is the filter I bring to my assessment of Gerrit’s formidable skills.

G., Psy.D., United States

"I had the privilege of working with Dr. Gerrit Pelzer for 3 months. His kindness, compassion, and ability to centre on his client is evident in every session. Gerrit's awareness of his self and others allows him to healthily challenge his clients in their thinking, self perception and everyday behavior. His flexibility and commitment to his clients are commendable and attributes that will lead to great success in the future."

Joann, Canada

"...I have had the privilege of being coached by Gerrit Pelzer and found him to be a warm and deeply thoughtful coach. He is able to create a safe and comfortable environment in which to share thoughts and feelings. He asks great questions that help turn the perspective around, to look at the situation from another vantage point. He is very respectful of cultural and life differences and gently seeks to clarify what has been said before proceeding to ask more thought provoking questions. Gerrit reflects back what has been said and focusses on the main issues to facilitate goal setting and action plans.
I highly recommend Gerrit to anyone seeking excellent, professional coaching."
