When my father fell ill, I hit rock bottom and became destructive, which led to losing my partner.

That's when I turned to Jord, a man who has lived through the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, life, and relationships.

His experience brought a unique and real-world perspective to our sessions and helped me understand that everyone has their own scars, and taught me to see myself and others in a new light. My life has changed dramatically since working with him, I’ve never felt stronger or more capable - I'm facing my fears, breaking free from destructive patterns, and living with integrity.

Thanks to Jord’s guidance and support, I'm becoming the man I'm capable of being.

Duco Vermeulen

Serial Entrepreneur | Amsterdam, The Netherlands

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jord, albeit challenging at times.

The challenging of my thinking, unquestionable compassion, support & ability to fill the gaps during some of the darkest days when I was left questioning my reality, and frankly my sanity was crucial to my journey & upward swing of life. Jord was able to guide me to a new way of viewing myself and the world — what I thought was working, wasn’t really working and he offered up many tools and resources to help re-orient my focus and direction in business and personal relations. To date, I still use the lessons we uncovered together. Bravo Jord!

Lincoln Westerman

Founder Yugo | Sydney, Australia

I started working with Jord during a very difficult season in life.

I was feeling defeated after many months of walking into walls with business, and repeating old patterns that I thought were left in the past. Jord was able to see that below the surface, cracks in the foundations of my self-worth were feeding into the dysfunction I was experiencing.

Working with Jord was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I'm beyond grateful for the intentionality, depth, care, accountability, and safety he created.

ALEXANDRA SAPER

Recovering lawyer & coach | Phoenix, USA

Jord's impact on my life has been nothing short of transformative.

He has a unique ability to cut through all the layers of excuses and non-sense to get straight to the root cause of the pain. With his 'Pain + Reflection = Progress' approach, I've been able to break free from self-sabotaging patterns that held me back for years.

Thanks to Jord his support and guidance, I've regained my confidence and strength to step up and ‘do the right thing’, rather than what’s expected from me by others. Although this is only the beginning, I know that it has opened the door for me to show up as the leader, partner and above all the father I aspire to be.

Reinier Jonker

Operations Lead at Bothers | Antwerp, Belgium

Working with Jord opened my eyes in many ways.

One of the reasons I once chose the path of entrepreneurship was to be in control of my own life and enjoy a certain sense of freedom, yet at the moment I reached out to Jord I worked almost 24/7 in an attempt to keep my head above water. After diving into the deep end (looking within) I now understand how my ‘high standards’ kept me stuck in the cycle that I was trying to break free from. Spending 24+ hours of 1:1 coaching and completely rebuilding my value system was a journey which made the biggest shift in my mindset so far. Thanks a million, Jord!

Mike de Goede

Founder HNGVR | Amsterdam, The Netherlands

I’ve tried many different types of therapy, but nobody ever helped me the way Jord did.

He showed me how I conditioned myself to stay in survival mode, whilst creating a safe environment for me to explore and unlearn what was no longer serving me. This, in combination with the foundational work of establishing my value system and expressing my boundaries, has made it easy to navigate life. Jord has been invaluable in overcoming my panic attacks, re-building relationships with family, and stepping into my full potential in my career.

Lois van der velden

Model & Artists | Canggu, Bali

I decided to work with Jord because deep down I sensed something wasn’t quite right.

I just sold my company and still felt a lingering sense of dissatisfaction and a compulsion to chase the next thing. Jord helped me to address the 'inconvenient truth' that kept me stuck in — what he calls — the constant game of one-upmanship against self & others. His guidance, along with the framework & tools that he provided, has allowed me to rediscover who I am at my core and pursue the right things, at the right time and for the right reasons.

Daan Smit

Founder, Brandfirm & Benksy | Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Jord is compassionate yet extremely direct and powerful in his approach.

No pretentious difficult jargon, just real and relatable conversations. His guidance, along with the structure and tools of the program, has empowered me to embrace my potential, set boundaries and express myself among other C-level executives.Empowering, to say the least.

Alice Hoes

CPO, H&M New Business | Berlin, German

I started working with Jord because I was being pushed and pulled by the whims of life, bouncing from one thing to the next and sacrificing my autonomy and control.

I like Jord his direct and honest approach and I feel we really connected on a deep level, but above all, I am astounded by the results that we have achieved together. I've made life-changing decisions and I am now moving forward with greater clarity and confidence. I truly believe Jord can help you become the possible version of yourself. He certainly helped me!

Frank Smit

COO OBIwan | Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Eye-opening.

Jord is extremely dedicated to his cause and knows how to get to the root of the problem. It’s an understatement to say that it has helped me to navigate complex challenges in my business as well as to establish the foundation for a new, more sustained, way to success. A must-do for every entrepreneur!

CEO at CIL China | Guangzhou, China

Are you willing to:

Take a radically honest look at yourself?

To confront the weak, dark and disowned parts of your personality that strangle your potential and control your life.

01 Take full responsibility for your circumstances?

To show up on weekly base, do the required work and embrace 100% ownership for every circumstance we face in life. Not as some kind of “should” or burden, but rather as a conscious act of self-leadership and the practice of personal freedom.

02 Make hard and often unpopular decisions?

To act upon what you know is right for you, your growth, health, family life, etc., even if that means facing discomfort or disappointing others.

03

If your answer to any of these questions is no, then working with me is not right for you. If, on the other hand, you're up for the challenge of becoming radically open-minded and taking responsibility, then this is your call.

The 6-step process

I’ll guide you through a highly transformational and impactful system designed to give you the insight and tools needed to step into a new era of you — one that is aligned with who you are and what you came here to do.

What sets this program apart from so many others out there is that it's designed around you and your unique challenges. While there is a structure that we follow, it's more of of an outline than anything rigid. This allows the group to adapt and give each participants what he/she truly needs to grow and thrive.

Facing Reality

To step into a new era we must first uncover where life is begging you to drop in. Through the process of honest inquiry, we will clarify the focus & direction of our work together, identifying the challenges, the hidden barriers, and what you truly want for yourself.

We address:

The main challenge in your life or business.
Your current stressors and pain points.
The root cause of the challenge you're facing.
Your deepest why / heart's desire.

Nurturing resilience

Leading life powerfully requires you to feel clear, confident, and strong. To strengthen your physical, mental and emotional resilience we address and eliminate activities that are causing stress whilst implementing foundational practices such as physical movement, breathwork, boundaries, meditation and sleep.

We delve into:

Understanding your triggers & coping mechanisms.
Eliminating conflicting responsibilities and activities.
Recognising and regulating challenging emotions.
Practices for greater clarity, focus, strength & ease.

planting your flag

Embodying your highest values is the single and most crucial aspect of self-leadership. To establish a foundation that reflects who you are we will question what you've held as true, right and important, and rediscover what it means to live, work and lead from your core.

We Establish:

Your unique - rock-solid - hierarchical value system.
Actionable principles to support & guide you.
A system to assess and improve your personal integrity.
Supportive habits, practices & non-negotiables.

Breaking free

You’ve laid the groundwork, but becoming self-led requires you to develop the awareness and skills to override your initial fear-based responses that are trying to keep you ‘safe’. Using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), we’ll explore and integrate the unconscious parts that have held you back for month, years, or even decades.

We Work on:

Embracing your deep-rooted fears and insecurities.
Integrating the disowned parts or your personality.
Making the hard but necessary, value-based, changes.
Resolving the mental and emotional barriers.
Developing a deep level of 'earned' confidence.

heading north

The recipe for long-term success and fulfilment is to be driven by your values, while being pulled by a vision that reflects who you are and what you came here to do. Based on your new-found awareness we'll form your Northstar, break it down into realistic steps and implement systems that enable you to move forward with clarity, confidence and direction.

We define:

Your guiding North Star.
Realistic short-term goals.
Internal & external obstacles on your path.
Strategies for long-term progression.

becoming self-led

The final step is to show up, stick to your word and do what you know is right, even when it’s difficult, hard, unpopular or scary. During this phase, I will guide and empower you to deal with the obstacles and challenges on your path so you can learn and transform into the vital, free and self-led person you're capable of being.

We advance:

Executing goals and managing priorities.
Developing and harnessing resilience.
Navigating internal & external obstacles.
Managing conflicts & distractions.
Self-reflection, accountability and refinement.

Mentorship

You’re here because you don’t want to play someone else's game.

You want to win yours.

Perhaps, like many of my clients, you've dedicated much of your life to climbing the so-called first mountain.

You took all the right steps, pushed through challenges and obstacles, only to realise that the path you've taken won't lead to the growth, freedom and fully-lived life you seek.
