Business Coaching and Planning
“Jan Hesseling of Hesseling & Partners has been very useful within our company by providing excellent business management plans for staff and our administrative operations.  Jan was able to take our busy firm and help streamline our practices and procedures in a more efficient and easy to learn format.  

There has been an increase in staff morale, as well as a lot of responsibilities could be removed from one sector and distributed more evenly throughout the company.  

I would highly recommend Jan for business coaching and planning.  A very effective and inspiring undertaking."

Practical Leadership Coaching Curriculum
“I have had the pleasure of working through the Practical Leadership Coaching Curriculum with Jan Hesseling of Hesseling & Partners. Jan has been a pleasure to work with, and we got down to the real issue that was holding me back from feeling comfortable with being a leader. Much of the material is very practical and the role-playing is something that stretched me and taught me at the same time. It has proven to be a valuable investment of time, energy and finances for both personally and professionally."

Practical Leadership Skills Training Course
“The Practical Leadership  course is a focused, well thought and insightful learning experience. It covers many important topics in an easy to follow structural format, while still maintaining focus on the person-to-person interactions in a realistic way. The instructor (Jan Hesseling) has a detailed background in this subject, and is always able to clearly explain topics and methods, as well as using real-life examples to clarify. He also makes sure that what he is teaching is relevant to the students' current work, as well as potential future, which allows what is learned in class to be applied directly to what they are doing. Mr. Hesseling is a conscientious teacher who takes time to get to know his students individually during his class to make sure they are learning the skills they may benefit from learning through this course. I enjoyed this class greatly and would absolutely recommend it for any level of training."

"Three valuable things I learned from Coaching from Jan…

 

·     I learned that in order to solve problems with colleagues and within teams, you must first learn how to communicate effectively.  Jan showed me how to confront with respect – generating cooperation.  For the most part everyone has 100% good intention so if you communicate based on that fundamental knowledge, any conflict can be solved and outcomes can be rewarding.

·     I learned the technique of delegating.  Delegating to a team member has to be done in stages and it has to be done within that persons task maturity level.  If it is not done correctly, frustration occurs and the team is not cohesive.

 

·     I also learned that I am vulnerable to stress.  This unfortunately was fundamentally because I did not know what I LOVED TO DO! Jan helped me to see that I matter.  He helped me see that in order to continue to thrive in my position and continue to grow, I have to do things outside my work environment that I truly love to do.

In summation of my coaching experience,  Jan helped me to see that no matter what your role in your organization is, we are all individuals.  Whether you are a valuable team member, team leader or a mentor, each of us can use our abilities to contribute to the success of the team. We can do this communicating effectively, performing our delegated tasks fully and taking care of ourselves emotionally and physically outside our work life so when we are at work, we can do our jobs fully and contribute to the success of the organization.   :)  Thanks Jan  "

"Dear Jan,

Thank you for the Introductory Training Course that you provided to our staff at Hot Chocolates and Cakebread Artisan Bakery.

We have found that the leadership training Jan provided for 5 members of our staff has helped them develop and expand their skills.

This was the first time we had ventured into providing formalized training for a small group and the feedback was excellent.  For many of them, this was the first opportunity they had to take this style of training and Jan was very adept at providing training at appropriate levels.

Jan was comfortable with our group.  He was very patient, open and thorough in his delivery, our staff and leadership team have benefitted.  We have seen positive results from this investment in this training with him.

Jan is very professional in his approach and provided consistent feedback to management.

We would have no hesitation in suggesting this Introductory Leadership Training course to another company if they were looking to develop and strengthen the communication and leadership skills of their staff members. "
