What makes Coeni different from other executive coaches?
Few coaches combine Big-Four experience with entrepreneurial agility. Coeni has led global transformation programs, shaped ethics at scale, and coached teams in $2B+ sales environments. He has also built his own leadership IP, like Pursuit to Win™ and Mahala Experiences, to create real, measurable outcomes. His work blends behavioral insight, strategic clarity, and human empathy across cultures and industries.

What is Pursuit to Win™ and could it help my team?
Pursuit to Win™ is Coeni van Beek's proprietary 12-module system for winning high-stakes deals and presentations. He developed it over a decade while supporting 250+ major pursuits worldwide. The methodology combines team dynamics, storytelling under pressure, executive presence, and simulation rehearsal, all focused on showing up powerfully when it counts. It's been credited with influencing over $1.1 billion in new revenue.

What are these Mahala and Wisdom Horse experiences I've heard about?
These are immersive, nature-based leadership experiences Coeni has designed for deep reflection and transformation:
-
Mahala: Nature retreat-style coaching rooted in experiential learning
-
Wisdom Horse: Equine-assisted coaching that surfaces trust, energy, and emotional intelligence in real-time
Both create space for lasting shifts in how leaders show up, whether in the boardroom, on stage, or in life. They're grounded in behavioral outcomes and measurable change.

How does Coeni help with high-pressure presentations and pitches?
Coeni recognizes that most leaders don't perform to their potential because they're under-prepared, overly scripted, or disconnected from their audience. He uses live simulation, video review, and feedback loops to help leaders master orals, board meetings, keynotes, and investor pitches. His approach pressure-tests stories, sharpens clarity, and rehearses for confidence so your presence feels natural when it's game time.
9
I lead global teams. How does Coeni adapt coaching across different cultures?
With coaching experience across 100+ countries, Coeni has developed a culturally adaptive approach that's sensitive to local norms, values, and leadership dynamics. Whether working in Tokyo, Lagos, Zurich, or São Paulo, he listens deeply, customizes context, and focuses on what matters most in each environment. This expertise comes from lived experience across four continents, not just theory.
10
My team is mostly remote. How does Coeni help build trust in dispersed teams?
Coeni understands that trust isn't built in one conversation, it's created through repeated signals of safety, clarity, and care. With remote teams, he helps leaders create rituals that reinforce connection, set clear expectations, and offer real-time feedback. His approach uses presence, listening, and consistency as tools to close distance and build loyalty, even when teams aren't in the same room.
11
What's Coeni's background and how does it shape his coaching?
Coeni holds a PhD in Change Management and Organizational Learning with a focus on Adult Learning. He has worked in more than 100 countries across four continents, led global ethics and culture transformation at PwC, and built high-stakes coaching programs for billion-dollar pursuits. His leadership philosophy balances systems thinking with grounded, human insight, keeping it real for both people and business.
12
What does "ethics-based culture transformation" mean in Coeni's work?
For Coeni, this means moving beyond compliance policies to create cultures where people understand, live, and lead with shared values. As PwC's Global Ethics Leader, he led firm-wide rollout of a global Code of Conduct across 158 countries. He works directly with Boards and Executive Committees to embed behavior-based ethics into strategy and succession. In his approach, trust becomes more than a value, it becomes an operating system.
13
How does Coeni ensure lasting change versus quick fixes?
Coeni believes real transformation requires reflection, experimentation, and reinforcement. He uses proven frameworks like Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle, behavioral coaching tools, and deep presence work. His programs are designed for embedding insights, not just creating awareness. Sessions revisit actions, track growth, and apply learning in real-world leadership moments. The goal is always sustained confidence, alignment, and trust.
