Joost van Andel
Joost received his PhD in 2024 on a social constructionist action research project in which he developed a practice on in-depth individual coaching for management consultants. This practice was developed for experienced management consultants who want to “look in the mirror” regarding their facilitating role in complex organizational change processes. In doing so, Joost worked intensively with a rapidly growing consulting organization. Ultimately, he hopes this will contribute to the more successful completion of organizational change initiatives.
After studying Business Economics (Bachelor) and Business Administration, specializing in Change Management (MSc.), he gained experience in finance in the business world (e.g. Siemens, Hema). After several years he shifted his career towards the development of people and organizations. To this end, he took several courses, leading to the licenses Psychosocial Therapist (NVPA - Professional Association for Psychosocial Therapists) and Registered Therapist (RBCZ - Registry for Professionals in Complementary Care). Joost worked for various organizations as a trainer, (team) coach and manager. Within the HU he was coordinator and educator of the Minor Coaching for 10 years. Furthermore, he has a part-time practice in the field of coaching and therapeutic services.
Currently Joost Ieads the Business Administration bachelor program within the Institute for People & Business, in addition to his work as Senior Researcher. Joost is closely involved in the Professional Doctorate in the area of Learning & Professionalization. He is a TAOS Institute associate.
