Sabine Dekie
Sabine has had quite an a-typical journey.
A journey that was characterized by challenges, difficulties, opportunities, good and lesser choices, setbacks and successes. It is a long road with a lot of curves and blind spots. A constant discovery of oneself.
​
After she graduates from highschool as an assistant accountant she continues to search for her path and a few years later comes across a book that will change her life. This book helps her to understand that she wants to go back to school. Despite some reservations from her immediate surroundings she persists and enrolls for a bachelor in communicaton management at the EGON College.
​
She follows the three-year program quite smoothly and passes her exams each year during the first examination period. Meanwhile she also commits herself to the well-being of the other students and becomes a member of the student council. She starts out on the reservelist first but pretty soon becomes one of the driving forces of the council. In her second year she accepts the position as president after the nomination by her fellow council members.
After three years she graduates with the major in corporate communications.
​
The search for a secure position (once again) does not go easy and she moves from job to job, collecting a wide variaty of experience in both job content as well as job environment. After a few years she lands a position at Ghent University. Starting as a maternity leave replacement she proves her worth and continues on as an international coordinator at the department of development cooperation for the next 3,5 years and eventually lands a permanent position as the department secretary of two departments.
​
But something kept bothering her ever since she obtained her bachelor degree. She choose a non-academic path back then because she thought that she would be unable to succeed in academic studies. This uncertainty has been stuck with her ever since.
​
Eventually she decides to get clarity in this matter and she enrolls at Ghent University, going for her master in communication sciences. She combines her fulltime job with her studies and successfully obtains her degree.
​
Over the years she continued to stay actively engaged with self-reflection and personal development and she knows she has an active interest in psychology and the development of human potential. She knows she wants to do something with this, but what?
Following her master's she enrolls for a post-graduate inspirational coaching study. She identifies at first as coach but feels intuitively that something is not quite right. She engages in conversation with colleagues, acquaintances, friends, family and psychologists and continues to reflect, read, listen and think.
And suddenly two things become clear to her:
​
She is at her core a mentor. That is what she has always been and what she has always done. Even without realising it herself. Helping, advising, training, guiding, motivating, inspiring and activating people. That is what she has done her whole life and what fuels her energy. And to top it off, she's really good at it too!
​
Every single moment she's helped someone. Every conversation she had with people who were struggling. Every case that was presented to her. They all had one thing in commong.
They could all be brought down to one subject: decision making.
​
She decides to help people who struggle with decision anxiety and steps in to her new role as decision mentor.
​
Below she explains her motivation to do this and how she plans to handle it.
​

Optimization
A passion
What did I want to do?
It took me a while before I realized that optimization was my thing. It came so naturally, so automatically, so normally that I never really noticed it. That, it turns out, is what experts call the hallmark of a 'natural talent'. Only... optimization of what?
That too had been a part of my entire life without me noticing it... Making Choices.

Purpose
A focus
Why making choices?
I am intimately familiar with how it feels to struggle with decisions. The fear, the doubts, the stress that comes with having to make an important decision. I know how paralizing it can be. You're stuck and have no idea how to break free again.
However, I also know how it feels when you do make the right choice for yourself. How liberating it can be and how, suddenly, everything becomes so much clearer and obvious. And therein lies the answer for me. I am a very goal-, result- and solution-oriented person and I get a real kick out of helping others reach their goals.
So, I want to help people with decision anxiety to learn how to make choices without fear or stress.

Personal and without fuss
An approach
How did I want to do that?
I knew immediately what I wanted to be. I wanted to create a bridge between what is and what could be. And I knew that I wanted to combine my extensive experience, both substantively and with different target groups, with my personal interest in human nature.
That is why I act as a personal mentor and assist people based on their personality and a back-to-basics approach. As PM I combine the elements of coaching, consulting and training to offer a hollistic package for each situation.
