Heart Leadership
Premium 1:1 Mentorship · Application Only

You have built it.
And still it doesn't
feel complete.

You have built success. People look to you. But the drive, the fulfilment, the feeling that this is truly yours, that is missing. You know there is a layer beneath this. This mentorship goes there.

Tess Keijzer
Do you recognise this?

You are successful.
And yet unfulfilled.

You have a good meeting. People listen. You have impact. But sitting in the car on the way home, there is that hollow feeling. You can't quite name why. But it is there.

You are caught in your head on the performing part: always better, more, faster. Hard on yourself. Rarely celebrating what is already there. Always on. Not quick to ask for help. You have an answer for everything.

You say you follow your heart. But if you are honest: is that actually true? Or is that exactly why you are stuck? Is your heart truly open, to yourself, to others?

You know there is more in you. You feel it has to change now. That the next step is not in working even harder, analysing even more, knowing even more. You are already the person who understands the theory. Who has done the coaching, followed the programmes, read the books.

And yet. It hasn't landed durably in you. In your leadership, your body, your life, if you are completely honest, very little has actually changed. The shift you feel coming, that you may have felt coming for years, has not yet truly taken place.

"I am standing at a crossroads and I can no longer reach my own feeling. I am drifting in the mist."

"Because I understand the theory, but it has not landed durably in me. I want to learn from the best."

"I am stuck in my head on the performing part. Hard on myself. Rarely celebrating success. Always on. I don't need to always be in control, but I don't know how."

"I feel I keep hitting my ceiling. In my own life and in my work. I want more calm, more clarity. To lead from my heart, and not be afraid of it."

These are the words of leaders who came before you, before they entered this mentorship. If you recognise this, this is for you.

Tess Keijzer
Why the shift hasn't happened

You have already tried.
On the wrong level.

Coaching. Therapy. Leadership programmes. Books. You are not someone who stands still. You have tried everything you could.

But all of those had one thing in common: they worked at the level of the head. Conscious understanding. Insight. Reflection. Behaviour. And that is valuable, up to a point.

Because the beliefs that truly drive you are not in your conscious thinking. They live in your unconscious. In your body. In patterns ingrained long before you could ever consciously choose them. Patterns of proving. Pleasing. Controlling. Always being on.

As long as that layer doesn't shift, the ceiling stays where it is. You can work around it. You can perform above it. You can understand the theory. But your heart doesn't feel fulfilled. And you know there is so much more in you.

The rat race doesn't stop by itself. You can keep running past yourself, keep delivering, keep performing. But fulfilment, the feeling that what you do is truly yours, doesn't come on its own.

The question is not whether you feel this. The question is when you are going to do something about it.

I want to take the next step
What changes

From successful to
fulfilled and unstoppable.

01
You lead from who you are, not from what is expected of you

The pleasing, the proving, the constant pressure to deliver: they lose their grip. Not because you think them away. But because you return to the authority that was always already in you. That authority does not need to be earned. It only needs to be remembered.

02
Deciding becomes clearer. Lighter. More certain.

When head and heart are aligned, the doubt that comes not from analysis but from disconnection disappears. You know faster what is right. Not because you analyse more, but because you feel more. That is a fundamentally different way of deciding.

03
You take up more space, in a way that connects

Not by pushing harder or performing more. But by being present. Calm. Grounded. People feel it when someone leads from inner authority. They follow it. They trust it. They connect with it.

04
The emptiness makes way for what was always there

Fulfilment. Direction. The feeling that what you do is truly yours. Not the role you play. Not the success you build for others. But the life and leadership you want to live. That is what is released when the layer beneath the layer shifts.

Yes, I want this. Apply now.
The Inner Authority™

How it
works.

Four months. Personal, intensive and designed entirely around you. This is not a programme with modules to work through. This is a mentorship that forms itself around you, your questions, your patterns, your next step.

Transformation from the Heart
In the first month, we work in a deep 2.5-hour session using hypnosis directly with your most fundamental block or belief. Not talking about it. Working with it. Your unconscious drives 95% of your thinking, feeling and doing. This work goes precisely there, so that space opens immediately for what you want to create, experience and realise.
5 sessions of 60 minutes
Every session is fully bespoke. No fixed agenda. But a clear direction. We work with heart intelligence, embodiment, psychology and coaching: precisely what you need in that moment to go two layers deeper.
Continuous presence via Telegram
The biggest shift doesn't happen in the sessions. It happens between them. At the moment you need to make a decision. When an old pattern surfaces. When you simply don't know. I actively check in with you. And you can call on my support at any moment: for coaching, encouragement, challenge or simply the one nudge you need.
Psychology, heart intelligence and hypnosis
This mentorship combines psychology, Heart Leadership Coaching, heart intelligence, RTT hypnotherapy and embodiment into one personally designed approach. Not as separate techniques. As one integrated way of working that goes to the layer none of your previous trajectories have reached.
Tess Keijzer
Selection

This mentorship is not for
everyone. Deliberately.

The quality of this work stands or falls with the quality of who you are when you enter. I work with a limited number of leaders per year. Personally selected. Always by application.

This is for you if...

  • You are successful and at the same time experience a sense of emptiness or ceiling
  • You have already done coaching, therapy or leadership programmes that were rational in nature
  • You feel the next step is not in more knowledge, but in a fundamentally different layer
  • You are willing to truly go there: not just to understand, but to feel and to shift
  • You are ready to lead from who you truly are, not from what is expected of you
  • You see a premium investment as the logical next step, not as a major barrier

This is not for you if...

  • You are looking for quick tips, frameworks or concrete strategies to perform better
  • You are not willing to go into the depths yourself: this work asks for openness and courage
  • You believe the problem lies mainly outside of you: in your organisation, your team, your circumstances
  • You are not yet ready for the investment, financially or mentally

About Tess Keijzer

I guide leaders
to the layer beneath the layer.

I am Tess Keijzer. Founder of Heart Leadership™. Heart Leadership Coaching Certification founder, Certified Co-Active Coach (CPCC), Certified Heart Intelligence Trainer (HeartMath Institute), ORSC Practitioner, certified hypnotherapist and RTT Practitioner.

Over the past 15 years, I have guided thousands of leaders in renowned organisations. I have trained with Dr Joe Dispenza and Gregg Braden. I have walked my own journey from performing to embodying, from knowing to being.

In 2018, a mountainbike accident changed everything. In that moment, it became clear: it is my mission to bring more heart into this world. Not as a beautiful message. As my life.

I don't just facilitate Heart Leadership. I live it. That is precisely why this work works.

"You can only facilitate what you embody yourself."

Experiences

What leaders say
who came before you.

"The transformation session with you was magical. Even though I had already done a lot of personal work, I kept stepping into the same recurring trap. Now, a few weeks later, I can say: that is no longer my story. I feel extraordinary, free, full of confidence. I am in love with myself. This is who I am."

1:1 client
Senior leader, corporate sector

"You have been the support I needed to make better and clearer decisions. You showed me that I am allowed, and must, make decisions for myself. I learned to trust my intuition. And perhaps most importantly: that I need no one's permission."

1:1 client
Entrepreneur

"You coach me in a deeply loving and direct way. The directness fits my professional life and what I want to achieve, and the love fits who I am and what I stand for. After four sessions I already have so many beautiful insights. I am truly curious where I will be after the full mentorship."

Director

"You give me permission to take up my space. You see the potential and encourage me to trust that even the seemingly impossible is possible."

Senior leader

"Something has shifted in me again. What exactly, I cannot quite put into words. But I feel it."

After a session

"In the middle of my busy day, my session with you was an oasis of calm. Thank you for the beautiful energy."

1:1 client
Founder

"Tess, you are a warm and loving coach, at the same time direct and confronting in the best way. Your energy touched me immediately, guiding me inward, asking myself deeper questions, and letting go of what no longer serves me. You are a beautiful example of a wise and authentic woman. I felt seen, supported, and held in complete safety."

Danielle
Director

"I find you incredibly pure, inspiring and sharp. You are an example, a leader, a wise and authentic woman. You see right through me, without judgment. Curious, encouraging, challenging. I trust you completely and admire your gift to ask the right questions, and to let silence be when that's what's needed. Your coaching is both powerful and loving."

Suzanne
Change Consultant

"With you I feel a true, authentic connection. You coach me in a way that is both loving and firm, the perfect combination. The firmness matches my professional life and ambitions, and the loving part helps me embrace more of who I am. With you, I quickly get to the core. And when I can't find it myself, you step in with your wisdom. You never let me drift. Working with you has already created so many powerful shifts in me."

Lenneke
Lawyer-Partner & Coach

"You are truly one of the best coaches I've ever worked with, with a strong vision, a rare ability to connect, and a purity of energy and intention. Very inspiring!"

Why now

The ceiling doesn't rise
by itself.

You have felt it for a while. Maybe for a long time. And you have already done plenty about it. But as long as you keep working at the level of the head, the shift stays limited.

The momentum is here now. The question is whether you act on it now. Waiting doesn't cost you money. But it costs you the feeling you know all too well: that moment when you fall back into the old pattern again, while you knew you wanted to go differently.

There are a limited number of mentorship spots available per year. Not as a scarcity mechanism. But because this work demands my full presence, and that presence is not infinitely scalable. If you feel this is the moment, it is the moment.

Questions

What is alive in you
before you take the step?

I have already done coaching. Why would this be different?+

That coaching was most likely rational in nature. Conscious work at the level of insight, reflection and behaviour. That is valuable. But it doesn't reach the layer of the unconscious, where the beliefs that truly drive your behaviour live. This mentorship goes two layers deeper, with hypnosis, heart intelligence and embodiment as access points. That is fundamentally different.

What exactly is hypnotherapy and how does it work in this mentorship?+

Hypnotherapy is a deeply relaxed but clear state of consciousness, similar to the state just before you fall asleep. In that state, the unconscious becomes accessible. You are fully present and fully aware. We work together, focused on the specific belief or block that is most in the way. In the first month of the mentorship, we plan this session so that space opens immediately for what you want to create.

How intensive is the Telegram contact?+

You determine that. I actively check in, but you can reach out at any moment when something is happening. That can be a question, a difficult moment, a decision, an insight you want to share. I am there. The biggest change happens between the sessions, and precisely in those moments I want to be available.

Is this suitable for both men and women?+

Yes, absolutely. The Inner Authority™ is for leaders, founders, CEOs and changemakers, regardless of gender. The themes we address, performing versus embodying, external success versus inner fulfilment, fear versus authority, are universal. The approach adapts to who you are.

What happens after my application?+

After your application, I reach out personally for an introductory conversation. In that conversation, we explore together whether this mentorship fits you, what is happening for you and what you want to achieve. That conversation is completely without obligation. Only if there is a genuine match do we move forward.

Is a payment plan possible?+

Yes, that is negotiable. Mention it in your application or bring it up during the introductory conversation.

Is this the right moment? And is it worth it?+

If you are asking this question, you already know the answer. Because you are not asking it for the first time. You have felt for a while that something needs to change. The right moment is rarely the perfect moment. It is the moment when you feel that continuing as you are now costs you more than taking the step. And is it worth it? What is it worth to lead from who you truly are? What are decisions worth that come from clarity, rather than pressure, proof or approval? That cannot be calculated. But you feel it.

Does online work just as powerfully as face-to-face?+

Yes. And in many cases even more powerfully. You don't have to travel. You are in your own safe, familiar environment, and precisely that environment helps you go deeper. At home, in the place where you live and work, the distance between session and reality is zero. What we discuss plays out immediately in your own context. And via Telegram I am available at all times. Not just during the sessions, but precisely between them. Online doesn't make this work smaller. It makes it more accessible, more continuous and more personal.
