Life's Too Short for Someone Else's Dreams

Do you ever feel like you're winning a game you don't even want to play?

Give back to yourself first. Then give back from a place of fullness.

Do you ever feel like you're winning a game you don't even want to play?

The promotions keep coming. The salary increases. The corner office. Everyone thinks you've made it.

But late at night, when it's quiet, you know the truth:
This isn't the life you dreamed about when you were young and still believed anything was possible.
You have a vision, faint, but persistent:

  • Maybe it's starting your own business

  • Maybe it's moving somewhere that feeds your soul

  • Maybe it's building something beautiful with someone you love

  • Maybe it's finally using the talents you've been suppressing

  • Maybe it's just... feeling alive again


The problem isn't that you don't know what you want.

The problem is you've spent years convincing yourself it's selfish, unrealistic, or too late.

But what if it's not?

What if the most generous thing you could do, for yourself and everyone who loves you, is to finally give back to yourself first?

76%

Give Back.

To yourself first.
Others follow.

My story

I'm Dennis van Heezik. (LinkedIn)

I spent 25 years climbing to C-level positions at Philips, Etex, Siam City Cement, and Caldic. Multi-million euro budgets. Digital & Business transformation leadership. Everything that's supposed to matter.

But I felt numb. Successful but empty. Winning someone else's game.
Then I met Katai in Thailand. She didn't see my titles, she saw me. The person I'd buried under decades of "should" and "realistic."

So at 50, I chose differently: Left the corporate world.
Moved to Thailand permanently. Married Katai.

Together we built Chandee, Bangkok's premier head spa.
Discovered strengths I never knew I had.
Unlocked a passion that had been sleeping for decades.
Not because I was brave. Because staying felt worse than leaving.

Today, Chandee is thriving. Profitable. Beautiful. Proof that following your heart doesn't have to mean sacrificing your financial security.

And through Orange Tiger, I help others do what I did:
Give back to themselves first. Then build lives of fulfillment, not just success.

What is Orange Tiger?

Orange Tiger is where life transformation meets practical guidance.

I'm not here to help you climb the corporate ladder faster.
I'm here to help you build your own ladder,
one that leads somewhere you actually want to go.

The difference?

Most coaches teach this from theory. I teach it from experience.

I've walked this exact path. I know what it costs. I know what it's worth. I know how to do it without destroying your finances, your relationships, or your sanity.

Through executive life coaching, I help you:
  • Recognize what you actually want (not what you think you should want)

  • Navigate the practical realities (money, visa, family, fear, all of it)

  • Unlock strengths you've been suppressing in corporate roles

  • Build something meaningful that reflects your true passions

  • Give back to yourself first, then to others from a place of fullness

Orange represents my Dutch roots, the discipline from 25 years in Global and Asian boardrooms. Tiger represents the Thai spirit I found here, the courage to choose wild over safe, and the passion that roars to life when you finally follow your heart.
