Hi, I’m Jan

After over 30 years of leading teams, coaching, and training others, I made the bold choice to start my own leadership coaching and training business six years ago. It’s been an incredible journey, enriched by my ongoing work with one of the decade’s most successful companies, ASML. Currently, I manage the portfolio of larger change programs across ASML’s nine factories worldwide—a thrilling role that keeps me deeply connected to business and leadership fundamentals.

In addition to this, I was honored to be invited by Harvard to join the HBR Advisory Council, where I help shape the future of ideas in leadership and management. As a member, I provide feedback to HBR’s editors, preview new content, and weigh in on the evolving trends in the wider world of leadership. This invitation is a recognition of my critical thinking and contributions to leadership discourse, visible through my LinkedIn publications, blogs, and extensive experience in the field.

I specialize in coaching leaders who aspire to executive roles and newly appointed executives navigating their new responsibilities. Whether coaching within ASML or independently for other organizations, I love the mix of experiences, which keeps me sharp and ensures I stay attuned to both the practical and behavioral aspects of leadership.

My passion lies in accelerating personal growth and unlocking the most authentic and capable leader within each person. I truly believe that many leaders have abilities within themselves that they haven’t yet discovered. I love the surprises and insights that every coaching connection brings—not just for my clients, but for me as well.

I have kept a record of the various topics my coachees ask me to help them develop, and you can find the top 15 topics on this page. Coaching often starts because someone feels stuck—it’s a fantastic starting point for growth. Take a look at the slider below to explore how coaching can help you move forward.

My mission is to foster authentic, skillful leaders in a world that needs them more than ever. Ready to uncover your potential and make a meaningful impact? Let’s take this journey together.
