Maureen Crijns is an educator and coordinator at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. She trains students aged 18-22 and colleagues. As a language teacher, she realized early on that building confidence and experiencing a safe environment in class were of paramount importance for students to have the ability to learn.

When training as an Inner Diversity coach, she soon realized the uniqueness of every student and the need for a personalized approach. About a decade ago, she decided to focus solely on improving the well-being (or happiness) and resilience of her students, and in a later stage of her colleagues as well.  Her classes and workshops are deeply rooted in Positive Psychology, with a firm focus on natural strengths.

By combining Inner Diversity and the Character Strengths (Values in Action) by Martin Seligman early on in her courses, her students realize and learn to appreciate their own uniqueness, and that of others. This solidifies a firm base from which the students can work on leadership skills, well-being, resilience, team building, psychological safety and much more.
