Patrick Stichelmans
Certified Business Coach et Change Management Leader
Based in Brussels and serving clients both in the public and private sectors across Europe, Dream On Coaching was founded by Patrick Stichelmans in 2007. A Certified Coach, Patrick is deeply committed to the transformative power of professional Executive Coaching. Patrick's broad background allows him to bring to bear formal training in the latest, most effective executive coaching practice allied with very wide real world experience gained in highly competitive environments. This ranges from one-on-one sales experience (Salesman of the Year East Coast for a major US consumer goods manufacturer) to CEO of a US advertising agency based in Brussels. This has provided him with invaluable insight into the challenges facing not only managers and senior executives but also sales teams and staff in frequent contact with customers on the ground.
Patrick's experience covers 20 years in advertising and marketing and includes:
Grey Advertising, Brussels, Managing Director (1997-2004); CEO (2004-2007).
Achievements:
- greatly improved creative product (multiple awards at Cannes Lions Industry Awards).
- successfully managed 2 of the 5 largest advertising budgets in Belgium (P&G, Belgacom).

- launched new brand into the market and successfully built increasingly high level of awareness and positive brand over a period of 6 years (Skoda).
