"Laurens is steady and a good leader for a team, his decision-making and approach is very good with the team. He is knowledgeable to handle any situation and make a call that will help the team and project. He will find the root cause of the problem and try to get the solution by discussion with team, he shares his knowledge and gets feedback. He communicates his expectations clearly, makes balanced decisions based on the input from team. He is approachable and open-minded. These skills help team members to deliver results. Velox Consilium are a quick service provider that help us to perform, learn, and do our best for any new opportunities.

This also helps to document automatically so that any one can go and review anytime. Laurens & Velox Consilium are a very good asset to any team and the company"

"When I first started working with Laurens at Velox Consilium, my goal was simple, to qualify as a personal trainer and build a career in the fitness industry. I had the passion and the work ethic, but I needed clarity, structure, and someone who could challenge my thinking.
Through coaching, I developed far more than technical knowledge. I learned how to set meaningful goals, stay accountable, and approach challenges with the right mindset. The sessions helped me build confidence in my abilities and make better decisions about how to grow my career.
Over time, that support helped me move beyond simply working as a personal trainer. I started thinking like a business owner — learning how to lead, how to manage clients, and how to turn a passion into something sustainable.
Now I run my own gym. The coaching I received played a huge role in that journey. It gave me the tools, discipline, and perspective to move from ambition to achievement. If you’re serious about progressing, whether that’s in your career, your business, or your personal goals, working with Laurens and Velox Consilium as a coach alongside you can make a big difference."

He takes the time to gather insight from across teams before making decisions, which makes him a reliable source of guidance in complex situations. His depth of knowledge and collaborative style create an environment where colleagues feel heard and supported, enabling stronger collective decision-making.”
Thomas Gallagher
Regional Managing Director
"Without any hesitation I would pin Laurens as practicing a "Participative" leadership style, he encourages all the team members to provide input, encourages collaboration, and delivers results using a democratic approach. Involving stakeholders in the decision making process, his ability to pursue a vision, and facilitate those around to become the best versions of themselves. He brings loads of experience and we can all gain so much from it. One example comes to mind - faced with an enormous body of changes/requests from various stakeholders he drove the implementation of a unified approach of logging them, thus effectively formalising the way incoming requests for our team are funnelled. The easy to use approach, frees team members time, and provides observability and tracking capacity."
