I am Coert Visser, a self-employed consultant in the Netherlands. I live in Driebergen, a beautiful village in the center of the country, and I have my office there too. My wife Marjorie and I have two sons, Justin (13) and Brent (10) (see their Dutch jokes-site). In my work as a consultant, coach and trainer I use the solution-focused approach. I was born in Groningen where I studied psychology. Before I started my own consultancy in 2000, I first worked at SHL and then at PricewaterhouseCoopers. I have written many articles and book reviews. Also I have (co)written five Dutch books. One of them, Doen wat werkt (Doing what works) won a price for the best book for HR-managers. This was a great suprise for me and a very nice encouragement to keep on writing. Here is my Dutch site: www.m-cc.nl and here is my weblog www.oplossingsgerichtmanagement.nl which is dedicated to the application of the solution-focused approach to management. I am also editor of www.managementsite.com a site containing many interesting articles for consultants and managers. You can find book reviews by me here.
