Jaap is an experienced Director, Coach and Consultant. He is a people-oriented, authentic leader with a commercial antenna. His strength and job satisfaction lie in connecting with individuals and groups, and in managing and solving complex issues. He knows how to put his finger on what really matters and how to play to people’s strengths. Such interaction gives him energy, just like the innovative ideas that arise in in-depth communication.His sincere interest enables Jaap to ‘discover’ how he can help people and organisations in their development and further growth.In addition Jaap is active in the field of conflictmanagement and mediation.I focus on family businesses, directors and major shareholders, professional service providers, non profit organisations in transition and start-ups/scale-ups. I am available for:• ADVICE AND MORE. You don’t just become a trusted advisor overnight. You have to be willing to build and work on such a relationship. I am able to do this by really knowing what I’m doing, giving well-founded and effective advice, as well as by continuing to ask questions, not letting go and by working right beside you.• CRISIS AND INTERIM MANAGEMENT. Pressure has little control over me. In fact, I thrive on finding solutions to crisis situations. And during such situations, I always remain in respectful consultation with the people that it’s all about.• STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION. Developing a strategy is one thing; actually implementing it is something else entirely. I can help you by making sure that will happen. • Reorganization issues. Of course, I also look at the numbers, but I’m not your standard spreadsheet manager – I look for ways to make the collaboration within and outside your organization powerfully flow (again).• GOVERNANCE ISSUES and SUPERVISION What is the relationship between the shareholders/families, management, company and other stakeholders and how do they relate to the objectives of the company? And what effect does this have on the business and investment strategy? I am happy to put my expertise in this field at your disposal.• HIGH POTENTIAL AND EXECUTIVE COACHING. Over the course of my career, I have had an in-depth look into many organizations. I often noticed (and still notice) that human talent is one of the most underestimated success factors. I will bring out the best in people with persuasiveness and humour. •CONFLICTMANAGEMENT and MEDIATION.INDEPENDENT CHAIRMAN
