Life Coaching and Conflict Management Coaching

Create YOUR Ripple Effect

About Penny van den Berg

Have you ever found yourself ruminating about a conversation thinking “I should’ve said this!” or “why didn’t I say that?!”.  You wanna be more confident in conversations but get overwhelmed and flustered in the moment?  I’ve been there.  The (not so helpful!) internal conversations we have with ourselves can take up a lot of energy and headspace and also impact our external conversations with others.

As a coach for introverts, my aim as your thinking partner is to foster a psychologically safe thinking space, a space for you to think through your stuff.  Coaching conversations  are a tonic because they stimulate deep thought and spark insight, cultivating a better connection with yourself and in turn, others.

Within my coaching services, I also offer a 90-min free workshop Speak Up & Be Heard: The Art of Assertive Communication where you’ll learn and practice a proven communication model to:

  • Express your thoughts and feelings with clarity and confidence, so others don’t have to guess

  • Set healthy boundaries and assert your needs effectively

  • Reduce communication apprehension, and eliminate the “I wish I’d said…” moments


25+ years served in the Canadian Armed Forces was my training ground for what I do today.  While serving, I completed mediation, conflict management coaching, and Conflict Dynamics Practitioner training.  In the final years of military service I was the Trainer for Conflict and Complaint Management Services (Central Region), instructing military members and civilian employees in the alternative dispute resolution and also served as a Conflict Management Coach.

When not coaching, I enjoy weight-training, a morning coffee in the yard, hanging out with my husband and our boxer, visits with our kids and friends, and having adventures by motorcycle.
