About Sugato

Background, Mission & Vision

Background

In the Buddhist language Pali the word ‘sugato’ means: Going to a good destination. It is the quality to walk the best path to reach one’s goal.

And any destination can be a right one. It can offer joy and success, and it can offer a mirror and an opportunity for reflection and learning.

The logo symbolises the journey – your journey too perhaps – with elevation for overview; with spread wings for motion, openness, and strength; and with yellow, orange, and red for warmth and passion.

Sugato has been founded in the Summer of 2016 after the owner realised his true path was a different one than the one he was on, walking towards his destination, his mission.

Mission

Happiness arises form the connection to yourself, others and nature. We help making and strengthening that
connection, and so with working and living with a lot of authenticity and self-esteem.

Vision

Since we were little we have all found our ways to progress in life. Throughout we have struck a balance between being ourselves and taking up space on the one hand, and on the other hand fitting in because that space was lacking. Experiences over time have adjusted or strengthened our ways every now and again. Everyone has interpreted events and (parental) messages in his or her own way, and has linked conclusions and decisions to them; either consciously or sub-consciously. This way we all have internalised many believes.

Some of those believes are no longer serving us today. Those are believes about when you matter, about right and wrong, and about who you really are. You notice when a belief is no longer serving you when something in your (work) life bothers you or misaligns. You feel annoyed by things or certain people, frustrated, sad, anxious, or uncomfortable. All of them being signals that underneath the surface things are off.
Within an organisation or team such signals surface easily, since with all those different characteristics and lives of people there is often enough someone around who just does something other than how you would have liked it.
In a society in which making errors and not-knowing is not appreciated a lot, psychological projection is a logical consequence. Nevertheless, we invite you to turn inwards; to feel where inside of you more space can be created to become even more authentic and happy, so to deal more effectively with your question or matter. This process of learning about yourself and transforming yourself into your best version, is what we call self-leadership.

About the owner

Sander Stokkink

If you can let your feelings and thoughts be there, you live authentically. If you on top of that, keep working on your deepest dreams, desires, and passion, you live your life to your fullest potential. With the notion that everything around us never causes our feelings, …

… but that our interpretations, identification, and attachment cause our feelings instead, ownership of our behaviour, thoughts, and feelings can be taken. It is my path to perpetually grow in this ownership. And on my way, I am happy to take another along. The outcome? A happy life with compassion and in connection to yourself and others.

My profile

As a coach and trainer I work intuitive and inquisitive. By clients and friends I often get described as open, involved, and humurous. Those qualities I bring along as a person and in my job as coach.

Ever since I was young I learned to use my ratio, and a lot less to express my feelings. Over the years I got to acknowledge my feelings, and learned to trust om them increasingly. I started to feel who I am and what I want, instead of thinking what makes sense or would be right in the eyes of someone else. Now I coach individuals, teams, and managers to strengthen their connection to themselves and others, so that everyone can become the best version of themselves.
In that sense I combine head and heart; my rationale background of International Business and experience as management consultant, and the world of feelings and intuition.

Professional background

In 2006 I graduated in International Business (MSc). Between 2007 and 2016 I was employed at large international consultancy firms (Capgemini and KPMG) working on HR(IT), change and culture challenges. Halfway, in 2013, I completed the Management Consultancy (MMC study).
I started coaching in 2016 strongly motivated by the study ‘Intuitve coaching’ by IMC Mensontwikkeling.

About Sugato

What people say

"I had the pleasure of knowing Sander since May18. Since then and through our meetings, Sander has shown great knowledge, wisdom and experience. He showed me different perspectives to every challenge faced, how to approach it differently, and this enormously affected outcomes positively. One of the qualities he has is to help you discover answers yourself by asking you the right questions or go through probable scenarios together, and this adds the value. I learned a lot from our meetings together; more than the books I read, as real knowledge is a mixture of information and experience, which Sander has. I am thankful to Sander's efforts and advice."

Sam AlAshabi

"Through my conversations with Sander I gained the space to analyse and structure my thoughts and believes. It gave me the insight into how these believes can influence my daily life, and what I can do to cope with this in a better way. I feel more in balance, and have good means to have a more positive outlook on life."

Natascha Hellegers
Senior manager KPMG Quality and Risk Management Group

"During half a year Sander supported our organization through workshops, training sessions, interviews and general guidance in managing the change during the implementation of our new ERP system. We have learned to know Sander as a solid sounding board, stressing what change management is about and how comprehensive and complex it is: stakeholders, impact, risks, individuals, resistance, communication, motivation, explanation, education etc. It gave us a lot of knowledge, insights and lessons learned."

John van Gerwen
Group IT Manager at Energyst CAT Rental Power

"In a couple of meetings Sander has helped me in my development as a person. In every encounter something of substance happened: Sander was able to touch me on a deep level. Whether through a voice dialogue conversation, a constellation, or 'just by talking'; it was "boom". Making old patterns visible, triggering, discovering new steps, stepping out of my comfort zone and opening my heart; always something essential happened. As a coach and person Sander is very pure and authentic. He has always given me a great feeling of trust, and with his humour and sensitivity he was able to open difficult doors. No conversation was the same; and this I have experienced as his great strength. In the NOW we felt together what was needed, and there he invited me with his warm personality fully to show more of myself every time.  I am grateful that Sander wanted to walk along on my personal journey; with an open heart and a listening ear I have gotten to know myself and my path much better."

Together we work on getting processes & energy in one direction, by getting people 'on' to take responsibility for and be involved in the organisation. We realize that it is not easy. But what makes its way through is our attention to what inspires you, bothers you, where you are now, and how we help you step by step. In fact, we help ordinary people to do special things.
