Who is the coach?
Piet Nibbelink was born in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, in 1954. He is married to Wilma Siekman Nibbelink and together they have 3 daughters, Eefje, Roos and Kira and 1 son, Sven.
He has felt a close relationship with nature throughout his life. After training as a teacher of biology and physics and teaching for 2½ years, he switched to automation. He realised that he cared more for people than for technology and gradually became a consultant and team coach. He rediscovered his love for horses. Dealing with his own horse gave him a lot of satisfaction and pleasure. Entering competitions became a challenge, but slowly and imperceptibly the performance became more important for him than the sheer pleasure.

The turning point came when he saw Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling, a master in communicating with horses, working with them. He became painfully aware of his own shortcomings in the relationship with his own horse. This showed him the way to better methods of dealing with horses.
Communicating with horses through body language built a bridge to a quicker inner growth, which was expressed in his courses for horse lovers and his work as a consultant and coach.
To be able to rely on your feelings, to interpret body language, of horses as well as of people, convinced him that intuition is an interpretation of body language that is subconsciously observed.
This insight is of added value for everyone, but especially for managers.
