At Doove Care Group we have the ambition to grow in leadership with our management team. As a manager in a growing organisation, you will be in charge of increasingly large teams and you will have to develop skills to deal with that. The board and management of Doove Care Group have been working with Erik van Straaten and Nino Jacobs for several years now. And for good reasons. Erik and Nino immersed themselves in our organisation, but also in our people. They quickly get to know your team and understand the challenges that needs to be worked on. Several times a year, Erik and Nino coach our team through the pitfalls of growing organisations. How do you get your team on board in changes? How do you deal with resistance? But also soft skills of leadership are extensively discussed and there is a lot of attention for mutual relationships in the team. The positive effect of development in leadership and team dynamics we are experiencing is extremely important. Erik and Nino facilitate, direct and organise based on their vision of leadership development. Always in consultation with the management, making it a truly tailor-made solution for our company.

Nino has the talent to be both observer and participant. He is brilliant in developing and facilitating leadership development programs. From his experience as a trainer/coach, he knows how to set up unique training courses and programs. Focused on the experience and learning of the other, without a predetermined script. Above all, he is a very approachable guy to work with!

Niño is guiding our management team members in the development of their (personal) leadership development. He is a sharp and sensitive coach and guide, who is very connecting and therefore helps to gain insights with which colleagues and the organisation can move forward. He communicates without judgment, is curious, interested and facilitating. And he brings the necessary humor to his trainings and interventions. In addition to his expertise as a facilitator, he also has the talent to design effective learning journeys, and to remain flexible during the implementation. What is needed or requires attention comes first. And that has an impact on the colleagues, the team and our organisation.

Niño is an amazing Leadership trainer and coach. He always managed to inspire not only his participants in training, but also me at great levels! I’ve very much enjoyed working with him, he always brings out the best in people! He is smart and empathetic. Facilitating Leadership Journeys is one of his strong suits but he is also very strong in creating learning content on a very high level. I would always recommend him as a trainer, coach, facilitator, speaker and learning designer without any hesitation!
