Top coach who really makes a difference
Jan is extremely on point and empathetic. He quickly reached a deep understanding of bottlenecks and brought me new insights and practical solutions. During a difficult time, he helped me regain mental focus and peace. Jan is a top coach who really makes a difference.
Clear and empathetic
Jan coached me in a clear and empathetic way. I strongly doubted whether the job and culture of the organization I was working for at the time, were still right for me. My job satisfaction was lacking, even though I enjoyed the content of my work. I had difficulty putting my finger on the reasons. But Jan held up a mirror to me. And in just two 2-hour sessions, I discovered that my work environment did not sufficiently reflect the value that was important to me, of ‘trust in humanity and equality’. Currently, I am working somewhere else, and I have experienced that step as very positive for my job satisfaction. I am glad that Jan helped me to adequately make a very difficult decision.
His coaching helped me to trust my abilities
If you never work on yourself, you will continue encountering the same issues (behavioural patterns)! That is what I found out during a training weekend, and subsequently Jan offered to help me get past my pitfalls. Jan is well-versed in various techniques and methods and applies these when necessary. His coaching helped me a lot in seeing myself as I am and in being able to trust my abilities.
That gives me a tremendous amount of self-confidence
How special to find that I do not analyse and worry, but mainly feel and proceed from what I feel and want. Funny and confronting, what you write about the burnout. I have noticed I am no longer able to do things that are objectionable to me, and that I can’t prevaricate, waste energy any longer. Just like in the old days, really, when I was more in touch with myself and followed my own path. I am finally returning to that person (me) and that gives me a tremendous amount of self-confidence.
Jan pairs empathy with a business approach
Jan’s coaching style pairs empathy with a business approach. He is respectful yet tenacious. He asks questions that make you think, about both professional and personal issues. Thus, points for discussion are quickly identified. He opens doors to new insights.
That is personal leadership
My life’s theme is that I have no clear plan. Life brings me a lot of good, but I feel I have, somehow, also missed the boat. If I express and more actively direct my goals and wishes, I am better able to take control of my life and get more out of it, professionally and privately. That is personal leadership. That is where Jan, as a wise coach, gave me valuable insight.
Focus and structure
Jan provides focus and structure.
Without pressure or force, he leads you to your core
Jan is like a gently breeze, bringing clarity and, thus, focus. Without pressure or force, he leads you to your core.
Sustainable change
I really feel sustainable change thanks to the insights you gave me.
Energetic personality and years of experience
For several years now, we have asked you to make your interns and staff think, feel, and act ‘out of the box’. Your energetic personality and years of experience working in a high-pressure environment like ours, make] you the perfect person to do so. You have the unique ability of making people look at their own competence and incompetence, without it being boring or averse.
Invaluable
You have been invaluable to me, Jan! In a sincere and, at the same time, practical manner, you have guided me through the ‘struggles of life’ of the lawyering business. I wish for everyone to have such a mentor... To me, Jan is the ‘physiotherapist for the mind’, allowing me to stay upright in my profession. Thanks for an ever-listening ear and the on-point, guiding advice.
I feel freer already
Helped a lot, our conversation. I won’t hesitate to make another appointment, when the next step is due (which is definitely going to happen). In any case, I feel freer already. Thank you for that.
Effective guidance
Jan Sjöcrona quickly provided me with effective guidance in a complex business matter. When I called him for help, he listened patiently and understanding. He efficiently analyzed the heart of the issue and put me right on track with a concise suggestion. I’m forever grateful for his coaching.
