About me

Lara van der Steen

I help organisations solve operational and learning challenges by bringing clarity, structure and direction to their projects. My work sits at the intersection of learning production, project leadership and workflow optimisation, allowing me to quickly understand what teams need and turn that into practical, workable steps.

What Clients said

Client feedback is a crucial component of my work. It demonstrates how I collaborate, communicate, and support teams, from the initial idea to final delivery.

I got to know Lara as a highly motivated and driven colleague. She proactively contributes to process improvements and is constantly focused on her own development. She thrives in dynamic environments with high workloads, consistently setting the right priorities and sharing her insights with the team in a motivating way.

Yes, we are live! I’m proud to share that after months of preparation, we’ve officially launched our new learning platform: “De Vlaardingse Academie.” A completely renewed learning environment that supports our organisational development. I’m thrilled with the result and honestly, a little proud too! By supporting our colleagues even better in their learning and development, we believe we can serve our residents even more effectively.

It was as pleasure working with you until the end and with such a great team lead by you!
