Our story

Our story

Janine and Arnout brought ActionCOACH to the Caribbean in 2009, starting from Curaçao. Janine and Arnout coached business owners themselves while we searched the region for the right franchise partners. Island by island, country by country, the network grew: Jamaica, Guyana, Suriname, Aruba, Curaçao, Trinidad & Tobago and Martinique. After we moved to the Netherlands, we started ActionCOACH in the Netherlands, and later in Flanders. We have done everything a coach goes through ourselves: finding clients, coaching them, running workshops and building a business. That is why we know what our coaches and franchise partners need, and why we can help them succeed. As Master Franchisees we also run our own ActionCOACH Firm, in the Caribbean and in the Netherlands. In every country or region where we do not yet have a franchise partner, new coaches can join our Firm as Associate coaches. Today the network covers 26 countries and territories in the Caribbean, plus the Netherlands and Flanders, with one mission: World Abundance through Business Re-Education.
