Coaching with Jack

My story

Not a standard smooth talker

Jack is no office coach. He has personally traversed the world by bike, climbed mountains, and guided people through the most challenging moments of their lives. That gives him a unique perspective on what people truly need.

His approach is direct, honest, and always tailored. Whether you are stuck in your work, at a crossroads, or simply want to get more out of life — Jack helps you move forward.

  • Coaching is for anyone who feels stuck, wants more clarity, or is ready for real change — in work, life, or relationships. You don't have to be in crisis. Many people come simply because they want to grow and live more consciously.

  • Therapy often focuses on processing the past and healing emotional wounds. Coaching is forward-looking: we start where you are now and work towards where you want to go. Jack's approach is direct, practical, and action-oriented — without endlessly going in circles.

  • Instead of sitting opposite each other in an office, we walk and talk in nature. Research shows that movement and a natural environment lower resistance and open up deeper conversations. Sessions take place in forests or nature reserves near you and last 90 to 120 minutes.

  • Absolutely. All sessions are also possible via video call. Online coaching works just as well — many people choose it because of the flexibility. You can also combine online and outdoor sessions in a program.

  • In 30 minutes, we get to know each other, you share what's on your mind, and Jack explains his approach. No sales pitch — just a chance to see if we click. If it's not the right match, Jack will tell you honestly.

  • Many people notice a shift in their thinking after just one session. Deeper, lasting change typically requires a few months of consistent work. That is why Jack prefers working with multi-session programs — true transformation, not a quick fix.

  • Yes, completely. Everything discussed remains between you and Jack. Confidentiality is the foundation of the coaching relationship — you can speak freely without any worry.

  • Yes. Jack offers tailored programs for teams and organizations — from leadership development to outdoor team days. These are always fully customized. Contact us via the form, and Jack will prepare a proposal.

“Een absolute levensveranderende ervaring. Jack weet precies hoe hij je uit je comfortzone haalt op een manier die voelt als thuiskomen. De fietstocht door India was zwaar, mooi en onvergetelijk — ik zou het morgen opnieuw doen.”

“Op mijn 52e dacht ik dat grote avonturen voorbij waren. Jack bewees het tegendeel. De groep was geweldig, de route adembenemend en de begeleiding professioneel maar persoonlijk. Al mijn vrienden gaan nu ook mee!”

“Ik was sceptisch over 24 uur alleen in de natuur, maar het was precies wat ik nodig had. Stilte, ruimte en Jack's begeleiding gaven me inzichten die ik al jaren zocht. Echt een cadeau aan jezelf.”

I was skeptical about 24 hours alone in nature, but it was exactly what I needed. Silence, space, and Jack's guidance gave me insights I had been seeking for years. Truly a gift to yourself.

The climb of Toubkal was the hardest thing I have ever done — and the most beautiful. Jack guides you not only physically but also mentally. I came back a changed person. Everyone should do this.
