Leadership and company culture
based on Trust
Your company can perform better, with more speed, energy, satisfaction ánd higher results than ever before,
without having to change people!
Do you recognize this?
Getting things done in your company often takes much more time than you would like. Management focuses heavily on internal procedures and control, teams don't work together efficiently, energy leaks away, and even simple things are a hassle. As a result there is a lot of dissatisfaction and low employee engagement. This also makes it hard to find good people and keep them on board.
Next to that, the way you work together creates stress, high sick leave and increased risk of burn-out.

About me
Working in corporate communications as a Creative Director and Concept Designer for over 30 years, I have learned that everything to do with leadership and how we work together, one way or another, comes back to trust. But here is the thing: trust is invisible if you don’t know what to look for.
That’s why I made an in-depth study of existing scientific models and concepts about trust and designed the Grip on Trust Model that will help you to ask the right questions and understand the dynamics of trust in most relationships. Even the one with yourself.
I am not a scientist, psychologist or change manager but a problem solver for leaders and HR professionals.
I focus on how to translate fundamental insights into practical tools that people can apply themselves. Practical, smart, effective and easy to use.
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.

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.

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.
