Scherpsteller

Sharpening minds & souls in business and personal life.

Scherpstellen:
Dutch word for making things sharp/clear and (re-)gaining focus.

I help you gain clarity and creativity in both business and personal challenges. Together we descend to your core where your answers lie waiting for you.

On a business level I help companies with communication, identity, positioning and goal setting. On a personal level I help people improve their relationship with themselves, other people and choices around work or money.

How do I work with you?

In one or more sharpening sessions (in person or online) I will ask you questions, mirror you and share my personal and business experiences. I approach both big and small issues with a holistic perspective, connecting the dots quickly with a pragmatic view.

I will gently and often quickly guide you to the core of the matter. From that level we will start exploring different possible directions. These can be very direct and practical or they might lead you to more exploration into yourself or your organisation.

I work on the basis of my intuitive radar and lived and learned experience. I trust that what comes in the moment is exactly that what needs to come.

What do people say about me?

“Erwin was incredible in getting to the root of what got me stuck with a big decision concerning the further business development. He got my creative process flowing again and from there the initial excitement was brought back to live! Amazing! “

- Christoffer Evers, founder of Piwari.com, Berlin

“Thank you again for listening and your careful observation, for grasping my personality by stripping it of conditioning and going straight to the needs of my essence. The change of perspective allowed me to identify with and become fully aware of the steps I needed to take for a positive change.”

- Maura, Aljezur

“What we do with drawing, Erwin does with language; getting the common goal in focus. Because we wanted to reposition, which among other things also required a new slogan, we immediately thought of Erwin. With joint sessions, he managed to bring together all the different visions, to rediscover a line that we had lost sight of over the years. It is very nice working with Erwin because he always reflects your original goal and the choices you make in it. In addition, he is super creative with language and has a relaxed personality.”

- Jeroen, Jam Visual thinking, Amsterdam

“Erwin helped me think critically about what I was trying to communicate as a brand. We worked to define my values and personality as a company and how I could accentuate those things clearly and directly.

-Laura Hurst, founder of lo flo studio, New York.”

About me

In my role as a scherpsteller I combine deep introspection into myself together with my work experience as a creative writer/ text artist, entrepreneur and enhancer of company processes. I have worked in international companies for 10 years and have been running my own company Mwah for 18 years. Mwah is a product brand and creative text studio based on playful and thought-provoking one-liners.

In my own inner journey I have gone through many layers by working with several methods. And although these methods might be worth mentioning I have found that acknowledgement, acceptance, intuition, trust and common sense are the keystones in approaching every type of challenge.
