Empowerment Foundation

Empowerment Foundation Our mission is to provide resources to help people in underserved groups live their best lives. We work on the creation of a positive mindset.

Shea Harty was inspired to form Empower Amsterdam when she realised that many unemployed people could not access the type of quality one on one coaching she had experienced during her career development. She wanted to give people a chance to have career coaching without having to choose between pay bills and investing in themselves. Empower Amsterdam wants to make it visible for you what you want

in your professional life and how to make it happen. We spend almost 3/4 of our life at work. Therefore, it is important that we also look into our professional lives for satisfaction. Our coaches will help you to become more aware of your strengths and learn how to use it to your advantage. We provide workshops and tools to use when working on your goals. We understand you, we encourage you, and we make you see that you definitely have a good future perspective! This foundation is a place where coaches can donate their time to reach unemployed people in Amsterdam who could benefit from their services. Any person in receipt of UWV and wondering what further steps they need to take to improve their future is welcome to contact Empower Amsterdam.

Your brain goes blank the second they switch to Dutch.
Not a language problem. A pressure problem.
First workshop: 8 people learned this.
One participant studied Dutch for 3 years. After 3 hours with .dutchcoach: "I've been preparing for the wrong test."

She got the job 2 weeks later.

This year, we witnessed people ask a question that changed everything:
"What do I actually want to do with my strengths?"
Not what job descriptions demanded.
Not what they thought employers wanted.
But what they truly bring to the table.
That shift, from trying to fit in - to leading with what makes them different, is where real breakthroughs begin.
To everyone who took that brave step in 2025:
The ones who sat with uncertainty.
The ones who asked the hard questions.
The ones who kept going when it felt impossible.
That takes real courage. And we've been honored to walk alongside you.
To our coaches, partners, and community: thank you for showing up, for trusting the process, and for believing that meaningful work is worth the search.
As the year comes to a close, we hope you give yourself permission to rest.
To celebrate the small wins.
To release what didn't work.
2026 will arrive soon enough.
And when it does, we'll be here. Ready to support the next chapter of your journey.
For now: peace, presence, and a deep sense of belonging.
You deserve all three.
What's one thing you're proud of from your 2025 journey?
We'd love to hear.
Merry Christmas!
