Arnold Timmerman
International author, consultant, coach and facilitator
Arnold got his masters in civil and social law in 1997 (Leiden, The Netherlands). Instead of pursuing the laid out corporate HRM career, he became a photographer and editor of glossy lifestyle & travel magazines.
5 Years later he turned to his lifelong passion - self-development - which has taken him around the globe facilitating seminars in personal development, emotional awareness and mind-body health to people from a wide variety of nationalities, cultures and professions.
As the European Director of Conscious Company Arnold has also been a co-creator and co-presenter of the international Visionary Leadership Program, which introduced emotional awareness and emotional intelligence into the leadership realm.
In 2011 Arnold launched a new approach to leadership development called Leadingship©. Leadingship development has been facilitated to organisations, business and individuals in Europe and North America. His book ‘Leadingship: Exploring the Essence of Leadership Dynamics’ has been published in the UK (’12), The Netherlands & Belgium (’12) and India (’15).
In 2014 he initiated the Coaching Master Clinics, guiding coaches, consultants and therapists beyond method, skill and technique. His second book ‘Mastery in Coaching’ was published that same year. He also started the New Generation Retreats, which provided bespoke retreats for individuals and organisations. Out of it came the intense 3-day Combustion Coaching 1-1 Retreats that regularly take place in Spain.
In 2015 he started developing an out-of-the-box self-development brand called Dogma Detox®, which is launching a series of books, training programs and newly designed intervention technologies.
All of Arnold’s work is driven by a passion to support individuals and organisations in times of transition and transformation. When Arnold is not working, he is enjoying time with his wife, kid and dogs in the mountains of Southern Spain, playing padel, scrambling, skiing, rock climbing or mountain hiking.
