The Story of coach Eduard, aka ED The Flying Dutchman
Welcome visitors to the story of coach Eduard, transparency in the journey toward becoming a unique accredited life coach
Greetings! Allow me to introduce Eduard Dijkhuizen, the visionary founder of Living Your Best Life Coaching Consultancy, fondly known as ED The Flying Dutchman. Eduard’s extraordinary life journey has taken him to nearly 100 countries, with his enriching residential experiences in the Netherlands, Germany, UAE, Thailand, and Australia, he shapes and brings a uniquely global perspective to his coaching practice.
Eduard’s professional journey began with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and a distinguished ten-year tenure as a combat engineer officer in the Dutch Army. There, he developed his passion for leadership and mentoring, guiding soldiers with strategic insight and resilience. His, parallel developed, expertise in HSSE, fire safety, and rescue operations, became his foundation as he seamlessly transitioned to a successful Fire & Rescue officer career at DOW chemicals.
While serving as a full-time Fire & Rescue professional, Eduard identified a business opportunity that aligned with his passion for cars and bikes. In 2006, he founded “All Wheels Import,” specializing in the import of vehicles, primarily from the U.S. and Germany, into the Netherlands. Within 2 years, the company had achieved a significant milestone, generating €1 million in yearly revenue.
This venture showcased Eduard’s talent for recognizing opportunities and achieving excellence in automotive imports. Balancing his professional career with entrepreneurial success, he also sought to expand his horizons, driven by a desire for global exploration and new challenges.
He had always envisioned a life in a tropical paradise, drawn to the allure of sunshine, warm climates, and coastal beauty. The vision of living among palm trees, by turquoise waters, with endless summers was deeply ingrained in his aspirations. This path led him to the UAE, where his leadership qualities earned him the distinguished role of Deputy Fire and Rescue Chief Officer for the UAE Air Force. In this position, Eduard excelled, collaborating with international teams to enhance safety standards while effectively navigating a diverse cultural environment.
Living in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, he enjoyed a lifestyle that blended professional success with personal happiness, thriving in the unique, vibrant culture of the Emirates. His time there represented not only a significant career achievement but also the realization of his dream to live and work in a sun-drenched paradise.
After several successful years in the UAE, Eduard made the transformative decision to relocate to Phuket, Thailand, driven by both a romantic partnership and the allure of its breathtaking tropical landscapes. This new chapter inspired him to dive into various entrepreneurial ventures, from a boat tourism company and real estate office to a vibrant restaurant-bar and Global LED Technologies, a consultancy specializing in innovative LED lighting solutions.
In 2015, Eduard reached a significant milestone by securing major contracts with leading resorts and hotels. His consultancy played a crucial role in helping them transition to energy-efficient LED lighting systems, delivering substantial cost savings while supporting their sustainability goals. This achievement highlighted the power of collaboration—both in business and in life.
Australia marked another fascinating chapter in Eduard’s life. As a personal trainer at the esteemed Goodlife Gym, he empowered countless individuals through his dedication to fitness and wellness. His expertise expanded into emergency response services amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating adaptability and profound contribution to the mining industry.
The ICF accreditation is the only globally recognized coaching credential, making it essential for anyone seeking coaching services to verify this qualification. Eduard adheres to the core values established by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) to ensure high standards in his coaching practice.
