“Arjan is a bloody amazing human being. A gifted coach, who went far above and beyond for me. She performed a 360 interview-based feedback process and gave me a huge gift, because one never gets to hear the truth about one’s self. Arjan helped me see blind-spots in my leadership, in a way that was constructive, caring, and frankly, life-altering. It gave me clarity about a whole slew of strengths I didn’t appreciate enough in myself, and how to leverage them to sharpen my leadership style. Perhaps even more importantly, she helped me absorb the truth about my areas of development. Arjan empowered me to view these areas objectively and as opportunities to become an even more effective leader. Arjan’s guidance has served me incredibly well. I am the Chief Creative Officer of a large global advertising agency, served on the Cannes Lions jury last year, and absolutely loving my role. I owe it all to Arjan. She is amazing and truly helped me leap ahead in my career!”
