About Qing Gong – Your Dedicated Coach for Personal and Professional Growth
Welcome! I’m Qing Gong, a passionate Coach and Trainer with a deep curiosity for learning and personal growth. Originally from China, I arrived in the Netherlands in 2008 to pursue my Master’s in Law. After earning two Master’s degrees, I returned to Groningen in 2013, where I began my journey of adapting to a new culture, learning the Dutch language, and navigating the challenges that many expats face.
With over 8 years of professional experience in the Netherlands, I’ve observed firsthand the unique difficulties that internationals encounter, particularly due to cultural differences. Even as a fluent Dutch speaker, I find myself continuously learning and adapting, which gives me a deep understanding of the obstacles newcomers often face.
This inspired me to create Thrive – a coaching service dedicated to helping internationals like you develop the right mindset and essential soft skills for a smoother integration into Dutch life and work. Whether you’re looking to land a new job or adapt to the Dutch working environment, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
At Thrive, my goal is to provide you with a meaningful experience that not only helps you navigate life in the Netherlands but also empowers you to discover more about yourself and truly thrive in your new surroundings.
