About us

Ursula du Toit
Project Manager and Mediator
Let me introduce myself. I am Ursula du Toit, mother, wife, expat, mediator, project manager, financial advisor, and former teacher. Quite a mouthful!
Thanks to my diverse background, I am versatile and, of course, it also shows that I do not shy away from challenges. I actually thrive on complex cases.
I have been living in the Netherlands for over 12 years and I am fluent in three languages (Dutch, English, and Afrikaans). My career started as a financial advisor, then I studied project management and made a side step into education. Now I am the proud owner of Professional Panda Project Management & Mediation.
During my work as a project manager, I have seen projects quickly stall due to disrupted communication. As a teacher, I have often experienced that schools, parents, and children have different expectations and cannot move forward because their viewpoints are not well understood. And as a financial advisor, I have often seen how much stress an uncertain situation or conflict can cause. All these experiences led me to pursue mediation training to be able to mean more to others.
I am now working as a Project Manager and Mediator in various capacities. Everyone is different, and that is exactly what makes my work enjoyable because every case is unique and requires its own approach and suitable solutions. I have a sustainable mindset and, with an eye on the future and respect for self-determination, I try to complete all projects and mediations as watertight as possible against future influences.
I have a warm heart for society and enjoy doing volunteer work.
Want to get to know me better? I would be happy to tell you more over a cup of coffee/tea! Feel free to contact me to schedule an introductory meeting.
