Transformation Management
This is about coaching professionals. The context is as follows,
'De processen binnen deze methodiek worden vorm gegeven in een gefaseerde aanpak waardoor u als professional werkt aan een harmonieuze samenstelling tussen het hoofd, hart en handen.'
I am having trouble understanding what this expression means. Thank for any help you can provide.

head, heart and hands
It doesn't mean all that much. You can translate it without any problems by head, heart and hands.
Hoofd (head) stands for the intellect, for rationality.
Hart (heart) stands for the emotional, for feeling.
Hands (handen) stands for the manual, the work.
The idea is to develop all three aspects and in so doing, create a balanced individual capable of exploiting his/her talents to the fullest.

I don't think it's a standard expression so it's one of those best-solution things. Good luck.

Mind, body and spirit / emotion
Like the others I think there probably isn't a direct equivalent.
So another suggestion would be:
"a harmony of mind, body and spirit (or emotion)"
Or the Japanese word "satori" :-)
(Satori is a Japanese word that describes perfect peace and harmony of mind, body and emotions, ref. nsweb.nursingspectrum.com/cfforms/stressmanagement.cfm)

: I think this was originally translated from English :-). But yes, I also feel mind, body and spirit is right here. www.bodymindexpo.com/

: Hoewel we de verdere context niet kennen, lijkt mij dit toch te ver in een bepaalde (andere) richting te interpreteren dan de beschikbare tekst aangeeft.
