  1. 01
    Leaders who take ownership
    Leaders who become better at helping their people grow — and at stepping forward themselves when things get difficult.
  2. 02
    Teams that collaborate
    Teams that move from delivering individually to delivering together — with clearer roles and genuine ownership of the results.
  3. 03
    Results that last
    Not a one-off workshop, but development that becomes embedded in everyday work and can be seen in behaviour, collaboration and results.

Four ways in. One purpose: results that last.

Every engagement is tailored to the specific leader, team or situation that needs to be addressed.

01

Leadership coaching

A confidential 1:1 programme for leaders facing high expectations, difficult decisions or a team that is not taking the necessary ownership. No fluffy coaching — just candid challenge and support, sharp questions and concrete action.

02

Team coaching

I help teams where trust, collaboration or accountability is falling short to speak honestly, take shared ownership and create results together.

03

Sports advisory and coaching

I advise and coach clubs, coaches and elite players. As a former elite footballer, licensed coach and former DBU/FIFA-licensed agent, I know the game, the pressure and the environment from the inside.

04

Executive outplacement and career transition

A confidential, tailored programme for leaders and executive professionals who have been made redundant, are at a crossroads or want to begin a new professional chapter — from clarity on strengths and capabilities to CV, LinkedIn, networking strategy and interview preparation.

Every engagement is tailored. That is why there are deliberately no fixed prices or standard packages on the site.

Get in touch when

These are the kinds of situations where acting early can make a real difference.

  • The team is not working or collaborating well enough

  • Responsibility keeps ending up with the leader

  • Results are not matching the team’s potential

  • Conflict or difficult conversations keep being postponed

  • A new leader or a new team needs to get off to a strong start

  • Change, growth or pressure is challenging collaboration and wellbeing

  • A leader is at a career crossroads

How I work

No standard solutions or lengthy reports. Every engagement starts with the specific leader or team and the situation they are facing.

Phase 1

Clarifying the goal

Clarity on where the leader or team is today, where they want to go and what specifically needs to be different.

Phase 2

Obstacles

We identify what is getting in the way — in behaviour, collaboration, communication or the way leadership is being exercised.

Phase 3

Breaking patterns

We uncover the habits and hidden patterns that are keeping the situation in place and create new perspectives and options for action.

Phase 4

Action and outcomes

Insights are turned into concrete decisions, actions and commitments. I follow up on the agreed goals and help embed the change in everyday work.

My work draws, among other things, on the principles in “The Five Dysfunctions of a Team”, and I use the Enneagram to build greater self-awareness and understanding of different patterns of behaviour and communication.

I work closely with each leader or team to build greater self-awareness, clearer leadership and shared ownership — so development becomes part of everyday work, not simply something that was discussed in a workshop.

  • ICF-certified coach (ACC) — a professional method with the person at the centre.

  • Experience from both business and elite sport — leader, elite footballer, licensed coach and former DBU/FIFA-licensed agent.

  • Tailored and confidential engagements — no standard packages, and every client receives my full attention throughout the process.

About Lucian Jon

I do not believe in perfect people or perfectly linear careers. I believe in people who are willing to look honestly at themselves, take responsibility and create their next step.

I have 25 years of business experience across people, sales, leadership, performance and business development. I have been responsible for employees, budgets, P&L and results, and I have personally felt the pressure, doubt and loneliness that can come with a leadership role.

My own life has not followed a straight line either. I have experienced major financial, career and personal crises and have had to rebuild my working life, my finances and my family life. It taught me that lasting change requires more than motivation. It requires honesty, courage, responsibility, action and persistence.

Today I combine my practical experience with a Master’s in leadership and team coaching and my international certification as an ICF coach (ACC). I meet people with warmth and empathy, while also being willing to ask the questions others may avoid.

For me, development is not about becoming someone else. It is about reconnecting with the potential that is already there and turning it into action.
