Helping leaders succeed from day one

Trust makes everything flow

(but you probably don’t know how it works)

Trust makes working with others easier, faster, and better, yet most people can’t explain what trust really is, how it’s built, or how to repair it once it breaks.

Grip on Trust helps individuals and organizations understand, measure, and strengthen trust before it becomes a problem. As trained concept designers, mentors and trainers, we’ve developed practical tools that make trust visible, revealing what’s working, what’s uncertain, and which conversations are needed to move forward with clarity and confidence.

We do this through the Leadership Landing Mentoring Program, 1-on-1 mentoring, speaking engagements, an AI-supported book in your language and more. All designed to make trust not just visible, but actionable. When you understand how it works, you can build trust in others, strengthen your own reliability, and even deepen trust in yourself.

Jan has developed a methodology for managing trust in workplace relationships that is the most comprehensive and the most practical that I have seen. The approach is comprehensive, simple, insightful and highly actionable. I strongly recommend Jan as an expert, consultant and trainer and his method as an impactful way to boost workplace trust.
