ABOUT HEARTWORK
Real transformation starts with the person leading it. We built HeartWork on that belief.
We work with leadership teams to design transformation strategies built for your specific context. From sustainability integration to finance transformation to digitalisation, we combine strategic depth with the leadership development that makes transformation hold.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Why we built this.
We both experienced the same gap. The higher you lead, the less space there is to be honest. About what’s hard. About what you don’t know. About the weight of the role and what it asks of you as a person.
Frank felt it as a CFO. Nadja felt it leading sustainability. And both of us found that the transformation we needed wasn’t in a framework or a workshop. It was in doing the inner work to understand who we are as leaders and as human beings.
HeartWork exists for leaders carrying financial, sustainability, and transformation responsibility. Those navigating the gap between what their role demands and what most leadership support offers.
The community to think and feel honestly. The tools to understand themselves. The guidance to transform how they lead, and through that, the organisations and systems they are part of.
WHEN TO CHOOSE THIS
Who you’ll be working with.
Two people who’ve been where you are. Between them, more than 50 years of leading through complexity. And the courage to do the inner work first.
Frank Eggink
GROWTH MENTORSHIP & STRATEGIC TRANSFORMATION
Frank spent 30+ years as a CFO and board-level leader in complex international organisations including Shell, DeepOcean, and Damen Shipyards. He has carried P&L responsibility at scale, navigated board scrutiny, governed through geopolitical uncertainty, and led organisations through transformation under sustained performance pressure.
He also knows the loneliness that comes with the role. The weight of decisions that affect people’s lives. The tension between what boards expect and what’s actually possible.
Frank has been where you are: integrating sustainability without losing sight of performance, leading transformation when the old rules no longer work and the new ones aren’t clear yet.

Nadja Müller
FAST TRACK IMPLEMENTATION & LEADERSHIP COACHING
Nadja spent 20+ years leading sustainability in international organizations.
She knows what it’s like when everyone agrees something matters, then watches it fall to the bottom of the list. Again.
She knows the weight of carrying responsibility without authority.
The exhaustion of being the person who won’t let it drop. The quiet question: am I the only one who sees this can’t wait?
Nadja has been where you are: translating urgency into language that gets delayed, carrying the burden alone, wondering if anyone else feels the weight of what’s at stake.

OUR APPROACH
How we work.
We believe in transformation that holds. Grounded in who you are, designed for your reality, and built to last beyond our involvement.
01
We start where most programs don’t. With who you are. Your values, your patterns, your inner clarity. That’s the foundation everything else rests on.
02
Good ideas that don’t translate to Monday morning aren’t good enough. Everything we do is designed for the reality you’re working in.
03
Our job is to make ourselves unnecessary. We equip you with the tools, the clarity, and the capacity to lead the work yourself – long after we’re gone.
04
Our work is grounded in evidence-based frameworks: the Transtheoretical Model of Change, Co-Active Coaching, ACT, and more. Rigorous methodology, human application.

OUR VALUES
The HeartWork beat.
We believe in transformation that holds. Grounded in who you are, designed for your reality, and built to last beyond our involvement.
Unconditional acceptance and wishing yourself and others well. Work intentionally with and from the heart.
In stillness you get to know yourself on emotional, spiritual, mental and physical level. Which leads to wisdom.
You cannot share wisdom if you don’t have the courage to be your authentic self.
Trust yourself and others. Rediscover connection with nature and that life is there for you.
Transforming yourself and the system you are in from the heart.
What we believe.
1
Real transformation starts from within.
The most impactful leadership development happens on the inside. Self-awareness, inner clarity, and the courage to lead from who you actually are.
2
Inner work and outer impact belong together.
When a leader transforms from the inside out, it reaches their team. Then their organisation. Then the economies and systems their organisation is part of. Leadership transformation is personal work and the foundation for reshaping the world we are all part of.
3
Leadership is not a role. It’s a practice.
Leadership shows up in how you navigate complexity, hold space for others, and make decisions when nothing is certain. It’s a practice. And like any practice, it develops with the right support.
4
Community makes the work sustainable.
You can do the inner work alone. But it’s harder, slower, and lonelier than it needs to be. The right peers make transformation possible in a way that solo work rarely does.
