As from a young age onwards Johan has been a passionate cyclist. He enjoys long cycling tours such as ‘Limburgs Mooiste’, but especially mountain tours such as the ‘Marmotte cyclo’ have stolen his heart. To prepare for these tours, he has been working with a professional cycling coach. He was amazed to discover how he was able to significantly improve his performance by understanding what he was doing and how he was training. Of course, it also took a lot of sweat.
‘Coaching helped me achieving goals that I thought were beyond my reach. This motivated me enormously ‘
Johan lives and works in the Netherlands in the Amsterdam area. Besides cycling he enjoys traveling, reading, discovering new things and good food.
Johan is an inspiring coach and trainer, who enthusiastically supports others in the goals they pursue. He has been working in international business for over 30 years. Initially starting as an employee in HR, he progressed to become an executive board member. He lived and worked in The Netherlands, in Great Britain and France and carried out projects in North America, Brazil, India and Japan. Over the years he learned that recognition, support and challenge are invaluable to trigger change and growth.
‘I am inspired by the uniqueness of each individual and the idea that every committed person can develop their talents and realize dreams.’
