"After a conflict with a direct colleague, it became clear to me that I still had something to do with myself. We had experience with Gert-Jan van Wijk as one of the trainers in our team development that we had gone through as a management team in recent years. I had great confidence in his abilities, his sharpness and his interventions. But above all, confidence in his human approach, without becoming ‘soft’. That suits me well.
Gert-Jan has started a thorough 360-degree questionnaire and interview process with people around me to get a basis for our conversations. His approach allowed people around me to provide ‘real unedited feedback’. Not always fun, but certainly very educational and valuable. Also in restoring trust with these colleagues.
Based on these conversations and surveys, we entered into courageous conversations. Thanks to the knowledge and experience of Gert-Jan and his coaching, we went deeper and deeper, until we got to the core. These insights gave me a clear assignment to myself that I am still working on."
