IDEAS
AND TREASURES
INSIDE
Ideas can be found inside of your Organization, inside of your Team, inside of You.
Yes, they are often hidden under layers of fear, pressure or insecurity. But, like hidden treasures they are there and can be found and removed. One by one. By You. Life is a gift. Let me help you unpack it!
HOW I CAN HELP
Getting things right the first time is what we all aim for. Yet, it is rare. Failures are more common. Is this a reason to stop? No! A failure is an unfinished success.

MY BOOK
50 Shades of Leadership: The decisive moments of inspired leadership
I was born into a world which, for the most part, was home-made. My grandfather and my father had built our house: windows, doors, floors, all the furniture, my cradle......all of it crafted from wood. All from our forest.
The milk came from our cow, the eggs came from our chickens. The first snacks I ever had were lengths of rhubarb which I dipped in the sugar tin. Sweet and sour.

Testimonials
"Jan gave a keynote during an event for our start-up association. The overwhelming feedback was that it was the best part of the event. Using drawings to discuss business challenges is such a refreshing way. Jan does this in a seemingly lighthearted, humorous way, without a moralizing stance - yet it keeps you thinking about particular images and topics for long afterwards. His reflections are both applicable to start-up and corporate settings. If you want a fresh perspective -and format- on business and leadership topics, question some "established business truths", take a step back and reflect - then Jan is the right guy! His book is also highly recommendable.”
Maik Schaefer, General Secretary '20-'22 of the Mexican InsurTech Association
