Henri Meijer – CEO of Safe House on Shaping Futures through Significance and Liberation
In a world that never stops evolving, Henri Meijer stands out as a beacon for those who seek significance in both business and personal life. With years of experience in personal development and building meaningful careers, Henri is known for simplifying and breaking down the complexities of the human psyche by aligning it with deeply rooted personal ambition, common sense, practical strategies, and measurable results.
In his conversation with Shereen Shabnam, Henri shares the philosophy behind his work, the journeys he’s taken with exceptional people across various industries, and the profound impact he’s made on the lives of those he works with.
“We all have direct access to endless wisdom, and are capable of significance and the extraordinary if we are willing to see beyond our perception, overcome instant gratification, and not be distracted by any need for external validation. It’s truly a wonderful world beyond that.”
People with this liberated, possibility-focused mindset often radiate a natural curiosity and contentment. They live in a space that opens the door to a universe of opportunity.
“That’s what I aim to create in every collaboration—a simple yet extraordinary life,”
Henri elaborates. Henri’s journey began in his early 20s in the music industry, where he witnessed firsthand the power of emotional connection and developed ways to uplift individuals, no matter their circumstances.
This early exposure to transformation sparked a lifelong journey that led him to collaborate with some of the world’s most outstanding business leaders, creative performers, and influential families.
Henri was especially drawn to individuals who mastered the art of a fulfilling life, combining extraordinary professional success with spiritual and psychological depth. He studied their thought processes, inner frameworks, and actions that led to the empires they built.
His purpose became clear: to create a safe space where personal ambition, exceptional careers, and powerful businesses are strengthened by frameworks that empower long-term success. This was the birth of his flagship company, Safe House.
By learning from creative performers, business owners of multinational conglomerates, and long-time mentors, Henri gained deep insights into how they built their success. At the same time, he offered value from his own expertise in personal development. His conclusion? True wealth lies in simplicity. Liberation comes when you act with direction and clarity, rather than reacting to life’s chaos.
MASTERING THE ART OF CHANGE
Henri leverages his diverse experience with entrepreneurs and musical talents to support their ambitions, may that be personal and professional. His journey into coaching was inspired by his time in music, where he saw many talented individuals fail to progress due to difficult life circumstances.
This inspired Henri to help people overcome internal blocks and creating contra by giving them insights, skills an capabilities, and foremostly his rule of thumb: ‘Find out how to do it, what is the nature of the process. Then it’s just a matter of doing what you need to do to get what you want’, which naturally led him into the world of personal and career development.
COACHING PHILOSOPHY AND EVOLUTION
Henri’s coaching style is deeply rooted in real-world experience. One of his early mentors was Don Willard, co-producer of The Beach Boys. From him, Henri learned the importance of emotional connection and its transformative power.
As his methods evolved, Henri began working more behind the scenes, he draws inspiration from the structural strategies of leaders of large conglomerates, blending practical business acumen with deep, almost spiritual insight. His approach is about acting from a place of clarity, what he calls “coming from a place of sense.”
Henri emphasizes understanding the physics and motion behind business and finances, as well as mastering the art of persuasion, and enabling. The structures Henri puts in place decrease the chance of self sabotage, which many people do in the long run when they feel imprisoned by the life they created.
Henri’s work helps them realign and move with precision. His coaching is often described as “mathematical yet deeply human”, a framework that respects both personal integrity and business reality. He believes in understanding and building, ‘your version of a good life’ at the core of your career and success and then building strong backup plans and strategies to reach that vision, really creates an unshakable stable existence.
MEASURING SUCCESS
Henri defines success through the alignment of personal and professional development with life goals. When we know your version of a good life, we can fuel it by ambition, and built a supportive financial system with business strategies that help create and sustain those goals. One example of this is the Tower of Power program, a coaching methodology that helps individuals integrate their personal and business identities, together with universal principles in alignment with their authenticity.
Unlike Safe House, which offers an intensive one- or two-day immersive experience, Tower of Power unfolds over a longer timeframe. It starts with a crash course and continues with monthly guidance. This slower pace suits those who prefer a step-by-step approach to personal and professional growth, allowing participants to deeply internalize the process.
THE NEED FOR CAREER AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Henri champions continuous personal and professional growth. He believes in learning from the best to fuel evolution. His coaching not only addresses short-term challenges but builds a holistic, sustainable model for long-term success. Dubai’s dynamic and fast-paced environment has given Henri fertile ground to grow his personal and career development business, tapping into a globally connected, ambitious population.
Today, Henri empowers entrepreneurs and ambitious individuals with the tools, strategies, and mindset shifts needed to thrive, not just in business, but in life. His sessions are more than business consultations, they’re a comprehensive mentorship journey, designed help clients embrace a full-spectrum, well-rounded path to success.
