Ep. 22 Jan Hellinga ~DiSC model and gut feeling in sales and entrepreneurship

Wachama Podcast ~Personal Development & Social Innovation

Dear Wachama People!

In this week’s episode you can get to know Jan Hellinga, who is the director of Omeo Groep, mentor and business coach who also guides start-ups at StartHub in Wageningen.

After finishing his studies in Dronten and Wageningen, Jan was working on the field of plant protection for 10 years, then he spent around 10 years in sales and in the last 10 years he is into coaching and mentoring.

This could seem very technical, materialistic and rational however, Jan at the same time is and always been very curious about why people do what they do?

His innate curiosity about people’s behavior led him to read through the most relevant psychology literature already during his youth.

Regardless technical, business and psychological knowledge decisions are often based on emotions, instincts and on our gut feeling.
You know, following the gut feeling is one of my favorite topics.

In this one hour long podcast we touched up on the topics of entrepreneurial decision making (rational/instinct based), personality types based on the DiSC model, meditation and new and evergreen business and sales practices. In short, it is all about self-awareness and human relationships.

Enjoy the episode and feel free to contact Jan or me or just leave a comment in the comment section.
