Testimonials

Thanks (again!) for a very valuable 4 days on your Momentum training. Lots of great content, experience, thoughts and ideas to take away and continue to work with. I especially liked the mix of action + interaction that thoroughly tested the senses! Having reflected more, 4 months later, the most valuable element that remains with me is the power of reflection and perspective that the training instilled in me. Having the skills and techniques to keep cool when all other things around us are going a little crazy is invaluable!

Roeland is an inspiring trainer who brings complex topics to life and provides practical methods to help bridge the gap between theory and the real world.

Every day I am gaining benefits of all the lessons learnt during Momentum. It’s a combination of positive effects on energy level, clear communication and managing feasible expectations. It became a kick off for a new chapter in my life. With the practical and effective approach of Roeland I learnt new insights how to become in charge of my own happiness. Even after one year I am still realizing how much I actually gained to make the change. And now all the good things are falling in place all because of the power of being myself. I became me.

I participated in the training Momentum and know Roeland as a very inspiring and focused trainer. He is a good listener, quickly recognises your specific needs and provides “tailor made” advice to become more effective in your professional and personal life. I recommend this training and Roeland to anyone who wants to unlock their potential that is too often limited by unconscious filters and own ideas.

Attended the Momentum training and this training is an “eye” opener in each personal development. Roeland has his own style, motivation, enthusiasm and very high care for the individual student. He knows very well, how to connect to people, and to make complex stuff understandable. This kind of personal development training, you can only get from Roeland and nobody else!  I highly recommend Roeland as trainer/coach.  Many thanks for this great experience.

Roeland’s inspired and skillful guidance made my Momentum training an eye-opening and invaluable experience. His energy, engagement and wit are infectious and keep you completely immersed. The practical models and exercises used throughout the training allow you to get the most out of it from day 1. Roeland is very perceptive and his ability to be empathetic without losing objectivity is impressive. This quality allows him to ask sharp questions, challenge your assumptions and help you reflect on what’s important for you and driving you as an individual. For me, Momentum had an enduring impact on my professional and personal life.

I admire Roeland’s ability to recognize people weaknesses, and then take these to an area that one sees them as strengths. In the training I received support and direction from Roeland that I can aim for the “stars” and my growth as a person is unlimited.

Together with Roeland Bemelmans training & consultancy I filled in the presentation needs for an expanding ICT-company. While working with Roeland I experienced a devoted, cooperative professional. A man with a large potential and a great understanding of his job. I look forward to working with Roeland again and can recommend Roeland to everybody who wants to take a next step.

Roeland is a great trainer for commercial management and sales skills. Our team had a great experience with Roeland. It’s very likely that we will work together with Roeland in the near future, regarding a training cycle of our commercial staff. This is good example of an independent trainer that can offer customised training cycles.

Roeland has an outstanding talent to motivate trainees and make them believe in the possibility of making positive changes themselves. Very inspiring. I wish his approach and guidance to making a difference and achieving collective goals of changing work practices for the better could be practically adopted by all active in management. This could by good chances make a significant difference in the everyday life and well-being both of their employees and themselves.

This has been our main training institute for years. Roeland combines a personal approach with a professional and exciting training style. It works great for us, our employees enjoy the training sessions and we learned a lot.

Roeland is very enthousiastic person, able to get a group into action and make them feel comfortable amongst each other. Roeland’s strong point as I witnessed is to make a connection with a group and his ability to make a group individuals feel as a team.

As trainers who do very similar work in different places, Roeland and I have enjoyed the opportunity on multiple occasions to spend many hours discussing methods and techniques of delivering information & skills to our clients. I’ve found Roeland’s insights and ideas both compelling and fresh. As a professional who is very difficult to impress, I am confident in recommending Roeland’s training and consulting services to any business whose employees aren’t performing at 100% — for any reason. Bring Roeland in, and treat your company to the kind of creative thinking and problem-solving that it most truly deserves.

I know Roeland as a passionate, dedicated & experienced trainer in the area of commercial & interpersonal communication skills. Roeland has both a analytical & creative approach in designing a custom-build training program addressing the key issues & challenges you and your team are facing.

I consider Roeland my personal professional inspiration, and this is probably the biggest thing I can say about someone I have worked with. I had the pleasure to attend diverse Roeland´s trainings between 2010 and 2012 and despite the time past his blue print remains. Good communicator, trainer and great inspiration. Just hope to find the chance to work back again with him.

With his creativeness and energy, Roeland will provide an environment where you can apprehend new skills and develop your existing knowledge. He thinks out of the box and triggers new idea’s to come to mind. His professional, but personal approach, creates a comfortable environment and inspires to be better, in your own personal way.

Roeland helped jump start my newest venture. I was motivated and knowledgable- however what Roeland did was direct my efforts and coached me every step of the way. His keen knowledge of the human psyche combined with entrepreneurial and business strategy accelerated my time to market as well as landing clients.

Roeland is an inspiring coach and I feel privileged to endorse him. I very much enjoyed his style of approach to any situation and always looked forward to his authentic ways of coaching me. Besides his professional and experienced work style, Roeland understands how to connect both the professional and personal life in a comfortable way.

Besides Roeland’s knowledge on the subjects, he is very well capable of really seeing and recognizing the person and his/her needs in light of the training, regardless of their professional background. This makes a solid training tuned in to the specific needs of the trainees. Extra care and effort is spent on making the good results of the training last long-term.

Roeland fits perfectly in our way of work at Procore: eager to discover the need, delivering in a personal, creative and effective way. He adds value to our business and is also a nice guy to work with.

Roeland is a charismatic coach. He is authentic, he knows how to connect with people, he is able to translate the most advanced and complex concepts into practical and unforgettable ideas.

Antonio participated in a training consultative selling.

Roeland is a very inspiring trainer who can train & coach a group of trainers with different levels, needs, and cultural backgrounds – and lead them through change. It was truly an eye opener.

I had the pleasure of working with Roeland a few years ago. Through his training, I have gained a lot more than I initially expected. He is a talented coach and a skilled conversationalist. It’s with this powerful combination he helps you improve. His commitment and dedication to coaching are very strong. We still grab a coffee from time to time and I keep on learning from his vast experience and wisdom. I would definitely recommend you to meet him, and see how he can help you improve.

Being coached by Roeland has been both an experience and an adventure! Roeland has the ability to make you take off those glasses with which you take a view at life and work. He has helped me to take an impartial look at my success and achievements in both work and life. It helped me (re)define my priorities and structure my work. In Momentum we took a further deep dive to truly find my inner strength and balance. I can truly recommend Roeland, especially to those seeking balance to become more effective. But above all he is a warm person, full of humor and a true support.

I worked with Roeland shortly after I had assumed the leadership of the Innovation Center in Ghent. As the new leader for an established team, I wanted to take some time to agree on how we would work together and Roeland was recommended as the facilitator. The event was very successful in relaunching the new leadership team and Roeland was instrumental in this. The preparation using the principles from Lencioni was excellent and provided a great framework for the discussions. His style of leadership through the meeting was insightful and he was not afraid to address the key difficult issues and hold a mirror up to our discussions. We still reference the model and how much we learnt of each other as individuals and continue to build on this awayday. I have no hesitation recommending Roeland for this type of team engagement.

I participated in the life-changing training ‘Momentum’ and experienced first-hand how Roeland is an experienced trainer who exudes both calmness and strength. He is passionate, fully focussed and uses a lot of humor. The training gave me insights which sparked a great deal of personal change and that’s why I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone.

I have worked together with Roeland Bemelmans for over 10 years now, and he never ceases to amaze me! He has facilitated several projects within NH Hotel Group ranging from Sales, Leadership, and Team Building sessions to individual coaching. Roeland is an authentic trainer and coach. Due to his genuine approach he is able to connect easily with people and generate impact. What I find most remarkable about Roeland is that what he conveys during his training and coaching sessions, he actually practices himself. I would recommend Roeland to people or organisations who are ready to be challenged!

Last year I took part in the training Momentum. Roeland has a pleasant way of training and spends a lot of individual attention on each participant. He really knew how to get me to take the next step. Roeland created a safe environment in which I completely opened up. The training gave me some great insights in how I was the only one keeping myself back. I also got new tools to change the way I think and act. Writing this review almost half a year later, I can genuinely say I still notice the effects of the training – to me, that says a lot. The location is the finishing touch of the training. The secluded castle gave me some needed peace and quiet, and gave me the time to focus on ‘me’. Because of this training, I took the bold move of quitting my job and follow my feeling. I’m totally happy with the massive switch I made, something I would’ve never done without Momentum.

I can sincerely recommend Roeland. Roeland is able to help others effectively realising their goals, to bring new perspectives into their lives and to unlock their full potential. He has the strength to make impact creating a setting of trust, openness, honesty and humour. I am grateful that his Momentum training has brought me experiences, insights, lessons and tools which I will treasure and use for the rest of my life; showing that I have all pieces to complete my puzzle.

I have enjoyed the Momentum training! It will be an awakening of your inner sources and it will helping you in becoming more of yourself! The  training is well thought through and with Roeland I had an excellent trainer. The training will be confronting at times but will make a life-long impact!

Roeland is not only highly skilled but also a wonderful peoples person. This combination makes him a great coach with a great program that has helped me to focus, overcome situations and determine new goals again. Roeland and the Momentum training gave me the ‘petrichor’ that I so much needed after a rough year. Would definitely recommend!

I met with Roeland at Momentum training which was an impressive life changing event. Before the training I looked at the things way more different than now. This training was a breakthrough for me and brought new perspective in my life both personally and professionally: “All I need is within me”. Roeland is so passionate, strong and knows exactly people needs. I highly recommend the Momentum training and very much appreciated to have Roeland as my coach.

Roeland is a driven and precise professional when it comes to organizational development. He combines his strong analytical skills with an in-depth knowledge of human behavior. He understands the corporate reality and manages to translate psychological concepts in such a way that they become practical tools for improved business results. He is detail oriented and always clarifies why he chooses a specific intervention. This creates a safe and productive learning climate. It is a pleasure working alongside him.

The Momentum training provided me with great practical insights over myself and the behaviour I tone in certain situations. It challenged my pre-concepted thinking regarding mine and others capabilities and behaviours, which resulted in a sense of liberation and empowerment to take a more proactive role towards life. Roeland was a true coach during my journey in the Momentum training, he established very clear boundaries during the training, enabled my breakthroughs in a personal and considerate manner and promoted cross-learnings amongst the course attendees. I have learned immensely in 4 days and felt that most of the course learnings were easy to implement in my daily work. I highly recommend this course to everybody at any stage of your career and personal life, in order to develop a more conscious understanding of yourself, a proud acceptance of who you are and feel empowered to drive change.

Roeland unlocks one’s potential. He truly leads by example and brings lessons from daily experiences and real situations. Both Momentum Training and individual coaching sessions brought me a tremendous amount of insight, self-awareness, and practical tools to overcome challenges and act upon my goals and dreams. Top coach!

Roeland is a very versatile coach, skillfully applying a wide range of techniques and adapting his approach to what will work for you most efficiently and bring tangible results. He is great at creating the atmosphere of trust and curiosity with the right balance of challenge and caring support. Already after the first conversation with Roeland, you are likely to get a high degree of clarity on whatever situation you are struggling with, be it in professional or personal life.

Throughout our coaching sessions, Roeland has consistently demonstrated an excellent capacity for understanding my needs, recognizing my strengths, and identifying areas that needed improvement. His guidance in setting realistic, achievable goals has been instrumental in my journey towards becoming a more effective leader and individual. Under Roeland's guidance, I have seen improvements in my leadership skills, specifically in managing teams, communicating effectively, and handling complex situations confidently and tactfully. Roeland has always facilitated a safe space where thoughts and concerns can be shared openly. His command over the group is notable and he sets high standards for his courses, ensuring that everything is perfect down to the smallest detail. I recommend Roeland to anyone seeking to maximize their potential.

Roeland is a great trainer and coach. During my interactions with him, his expertise stood out. Roeland is able to create a safe space, which in turn allows him to be confrontational and supportive at the same time. Due to this coaching style, he helped me gain new insights. In addition, Roeland helped me change my outlook, become more open and positive. I would highly recommend Roeland if you want to develop yourself.

I have gotten to know Roeland as a relentless learner, always seeking out the opportunity to further develop himself. In that process he will not shy away from the more difficult, vulnerable parts of the self-discovery we all need to master when we want to grow — always being honest and authentic. It was a joy to see him discard outgrown habits and beliefs, easing into his more natural way of being. I can clearly see how you help your clients unleash their full potential, with that same high quality plus the ease and joy in doing so.

I find Roeland to be a very good mentor. He doesn’t tell you what to think — he is a guide for you to find your own answers. Roeland is a friendly person, and his training is very enjoyable with many different forms of education. The way Roeland weaves a theoretical and practical approach into his teachings is fun, engaging and eye-opening. You become aware of your own behavioral patterns and learn to find the tools to adjust where necessary, so you can improve your quality of life. I would surely recommend his Momentum training for everyone. It’s a potentially life-changing experience that is fun along the way.

Roeland is an empathic and people-centered person, who has a great willingness to help others to grow. I experienced this in both 1-on-1 coaching sessions and in his Personal Leadership programme at Momentum. Roeland showed me how I can take the lead of my own life and the way I frame my thoughts. He taught me about the benefits of formulating my personal successes and demonstrated how small successes can create a great ripple effect. I am still applying these learnings on a daily basis and would recommend this program to anyone who’s willing to become a better leader.

Roeland is an inspired trainer who believes in what he does. He was able to let me see myself in a different light. He brings loads of positive energy and is fun to spend time with. I recommend him and the Momentum training to anyone who wants to become better at leading themselves and others.

I have known Roeland for over 2 years and I am really impressed with his experience and ability to train me as a ‘young’ professional. Roeland is able to bring the essence of what I am grappling with to the forefront. I feel more confident and empowered as an entrepreneur. Also in my personal life, I am able to ‘rethink’ situations and put myself in a positive light due to Roeland’s coaching sessions and exercises in the Momentum training.

The best training ever. The Momentum training totally changed my overall vision on my life. The biggest asset in the short term is the fact that I’m more focused on prioritizing my expectations, which results in more peace in my mind. Thank you Roeland for releasing me from taking too many assumptions — I have definitely learned to look differently at all situations. His style of coaching is effective and direct, which pushed me to cross my boundaries even more. I would really recommend this experience to everyone who wants to take guidance of their own life.

All of our coaching sessions were online, which may have proven a problem in developing a working relationship — but it didn’t. This is partly due to Roeland’s very relaxed and calm manner and his being a genuinely approachable person. Roeland worked with me over a number of months and helped me identify where I could improve and take control over my professional interactions, in what had been a quite negative and confrontational work environment. His coaching helped me identify what I could do and how I could amend my behaviour to assist in shifting the perceptions of others. Roeland has an ability to both listen and hear what is being said, and is able to identify the key areas for improvement. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Roeland is a wonderful coach. In his Momentum training he put all the energy needed to transform my self-perception. His teachings serve me every day, every moment.

The Momentum training course helped me refocus my professional and personal goals as well as celebrate my successes. Roeland is a great coach and is able to help uncover obstacles holding people back from reaching their potential. He provides many tools and ideas to improve communication and leadership skills. Momentum training was different from any other course I have participated in and helped me become a better person. I would recommend Roeland Bemelmans to others.

I participated in the Authentic Leadership training and know Roeland as a very inspiring and focused trainer. He is a good listener, quickly recognises your specific needs and provides tailor-made advice to become more effective in your professional and personal life. I recommend this training and Roeland to anyone who wants to unlock their potential that is too often limited by unconscious filters and own ideas.

Thanks again for a very valuable 3 days on your Momentum training. Lots of great content, experience, thoughts and ideas to take away and continue to work with. I especially liked the mix of action and interaction that thoroughly tested the senses! Having reflected more, 4 months later, the most valuable element that remains with me is the power of reflection and perspective that the training instilled in me. Having the skills and techniques to keep cool when all other things around you are going a little crazy is invaluable!

I worked with Roeland on a marketing project and also had the chance to get to know him as a coach and trainer. Roeland made me realize that our attitude defines what goals we reach in life. He has an extraordinary ability to motivate others with his belief in people’s potential and his realistic approach towards ideas. Roeland continuously develops himself and I believe that this is one of the reasons he delivers such inspiring trainings. I highly recommend Roeland as a personal coach and trainer if you are looking for someone who is: Authentic. Passionate. An Expert.

Both times I have worked with Roeland it was on training to deliver presentations. He is excellent at helping to structure a talk in a way that is clear and understandable to people who do not know the topic. Not only does he help with the structure, but also with different ways of telling one’s story, strategies to remember the talk and effective ways to present it. He does not only focus on one aspect but from start to finish guides you through the whole process of writing and delivering a clear presentation.

I had the pleasure of working together with Roeland recently, and enjoyed his professionality, motivation and attention to detail. He has an ability to remain upbeat and focused which, combined with his gentle humour, makes light work of achieving concrete results.

Roeland is a highly skilled and dedicated trainer with great enthusiasm. I can highly recommend him. He knows how to inspire and motivate his clients in a perfect manner. My negotiations with clients and suppliers have improved significantly.

Roeland combines a sharp mind with a compassionate heart — making you face that mirror that you didn’t know was there or that you hadn’t looked into for a while. Roeland’s sessions are a combination of personal stories backed with theory and frameworks to understand your own habits and behaviour. His Momentum training gave me the opportunity to take more control and action in my professional and personal life.

Momentum Training was a magical journey to rediscover myself. Thanks to Roeland’s excellent coaching skills and his genuine guidance I had a mindset switch. The learnings I got from this training already helped me to be more in flow with life and improved my relationships. I definitely recommend Momentum Training to everyone that is open to move to the next level in their lives. Thank you.

‘It’s my turn.’ After many trainings and courses, some soul searching and life events, I followed the Momentum course. This training has ensured my trust in me, and my ability to shape, steer and create my own life. I cannot even express the full impact it has already had on my daily life both professionally and privately. And the best thing: it was me — changing my internal dialogue and vision on my life. It resonated not only in me, but also in my team and my family. I would like to recommend anyone to follow the Momentum Course.

I had the privilege to participate in a two-day ‘consultative sales’ training/coaching led by Roeland. The training was both theoretical and practical with challenging role play sessions allowing immediate practice. Roeland is an excellent trainer and coach who will challenge you to be better. He truly connects with his trainees. He is not shy to get personal and practise what he preaches. I would recommend Roeland to anyone or any group who is not afraid to have a good look in the mirror.

Excellent training consultant to develop team building strategies, improve presentation skills and increase the negotiating abilities of sales personnel. Additional leadership coaching and consulting for Managers and Directors to elevate the managerial skills and people management — key for a successful Manager/Leader.

Roeland was recently invited as a coach to a newly formed leadership team, and he was great in helping us make headway in being more effective individually and collectively. Instead of a conventional teambuilding session, he worked with the team to realise areas that we needed to improve right on the spot and applied tips on real-life scenarios. It was tailor-made to fit our needs, and that left a positive effect on the team. With his pragmatic approach, flexibility and excellent facilitation, he was a delight to work with.

I had the privilege of participating in the 4-day Momentum training with Roeland. Since I have done this training I feel that I am much more in touch with myself and aware of the choices that are open to me in life. As a result, I feel that I am approaching my life with a much more calm, self-controlled and determined spirit. I would recommend this training to anyone who is searching for ways to make changes in their life.
