Jan’s coaching reshaped the way I approach performance management across my organization. As a VP responsible for planning and engineering, I was used to solving problems myself and pushing for results. Jan helped me see that real performance comes from clarity, empowered managers, and disciplined follow-through — not from working harder or escalating more.

His sharp questions forced me to confront the gaps I had been tolerating: unclear expectations, inconsistent accountability, and managers who weren’t truly owning their part of the plan. With Jan’s guidance, I learned how to structure performance conversations, set standards that stick, and drive execution through my leadership layer rather than around it.

Within three months, we saw measurable improvements: faster cycle times, stronger adherence to planning milestones, fewer surprises in engineering outputs, and a visible shift in ownership among my managers.

Jan doesn’t soften the truth, he elevates it. His coaching helped me become a more focused, strategic, and effective performance leader.
