Trust is the highest form of human motivation, it brings out the very best in people.
– Stephen R. Covey
50% of new managers fail within the first 18 months at their job. They are perceived as ineffective by their subordinates and find out rapidly they don’t have the right skills for the job. To top this off, 60% say they did not receive any support from their senior management.
Once you made it through the first couple of years, as a mid-career decision-maker, you find yourself pulling a heavy load through rough sand, with never-ending to-do lists and too many meetings. Working at increased intensity with a sense of spinning the wheels can lead to negative stress and burnout. The symptoms of this include “tired–wired” syndrome, resulting in many managers finding themselves unable to make small decisions.
Even long-term CEOs struggle to keep up with forces inside and outside the company. As well as keeping up with ever faster changes in technology, marketplace and workforce. Consequently, many would like to reinvent themselves to get some energy back and become inspired again, but being behind the wheel for so long, they don't know how.
Stop being overwhelmed as a first-time manager and learn how to become confident, trusted and trusting.
Transform from mid-career decision-maker into trusted leader, without losing momentum.
Reinvent yourself as an exhausted executive and become inspired again, without having to start over.
Trust works as a lubricant between people and in organizations: everything works with less friction, with more ease, better results and higher satisfaction.

About me
I am a designer by heart. I love solving puzzles or taking on challenges to make a product or situation better than before. Finding out what elements are crucial, applying design thinking steps, and letting instinct, intuition and persistence do their part. This is why I became a Creative Director for more than 25 years. Working for clients such as Unilever, Philips, Nutricia (Danone), KNVB and many more.
"The part of the brain that is responsible for decision-making has no capacity for language". In 2011 these words of Simon Sinek hit me like a lightning bolt and inspired me to shift my focus to the fields of behavioural science and especially trust.
Trust is crucial in every relationship but invisible if you don't know what to look for.
Extensive research of different concepts, words and models led me to design one comprehensive model where the most essential principles of trust come together.
I am not a scientist, psychologist or change manager but a problem solver. I am truly driven to contribute to better relationships and happier lives. Not only within companies but everywhere. Understanding human behaviour is the starting point. With Grip on Trust, I hope to make the world a nicer place.
Keynote speaking and presentations
You can book me for keynote speeches, inspirational talks, workshops and masterclasses, both live or online.
What people say
I consider Jan the Simon Sinek of the Netherlands. I had the pleasure of working with Jan on a coaching project and learned some priceless information and processes on how to build trust. Jan is an expert on trust. Not just why it's important, but how it works and more importantly how to build it! I also learned that Jan is highly passionate about human-to-human communication and how words trigger emotions based on memory and past experiences and understand the connect between words and past experiences is key to influencing the behaviour you want to see in people through your communication. It's fascinating and highly enabling when building a business involving people. Thank you jan for these priceless insights.

As an entrepreneur you will not get there with only knowledge of consumer needs. A deeper insight into the experiences of consumers in relation to the organization is necessary to make the distinction.
Jan van der Spoel has a systematic, logical, well-researched method for discovering these.
Ed Peelen, Prof. PhD.

I got the opportunity to follow a workshop by Jan in which he provides insight into your real motivation. This resulted in a very interactive workshop where we could also help each other in gaining insights.
Highly recommended for people who stay too much in the standard desirable sentences or who really do not know or can name what they get out of bed for.
