Die persönliche Berufung von Menschen ist seit vielen Jahren ein wichtiges Thema in meiner Beratungstätigkeit. 2025 wurde ich auf Career Direct aufmerksam gemacht und bei näherer Betrachtung wurde mir klar, dass dieses Instrument eine sehr grosse Hilfe und Bereicherung in der Beratung sein würde. Ich hatte das Vorrecht, mit Jan Strydom einen grossartigen Ausbildner zu haben. Seine Erläuterungen zu meinem Profil und die Art, wie er mein einzigartiges Design gefeiert hat, waren sehr ermutigend und bestätigend, meine persönliche Berufung weiterhin wahrzunehmen. Meine bisherigen Coachees fanden die Career Direct Beratung als sehr hilfreich und ich hatte bei allen das Gefühl, sie in ihren einzigartigen Designs bestärken zu können. Der interaktive Aktionsplan ist ein echt tolles Hilfsmittel. Danke an all die, die das wertvolle Instrument Career Direct entwickelt haben und es stetig weiterentwickeln!

Thank you Jan for amazing 2 sessions. Some insight were shered by you that changed my thinking. Especially in the 1st session, For instance definition of being - believing who you are deep in your heart (not head) and that doing is born out od being. Also definition of work, which is not transaction, but relationship. Thank you for having such an entusiasm to my person and my design. Possibly even more than me ;) That is definietly uplifitng.

Baie dankie vir 'n ongelooflike insiggewende sessie! Dit voel asof ek my ware self weer begin ontdek het en dat ek nuwe visie, hoop en opgewondenheid vir die toekoms gekry het. Dit het gevoel asof Oom binne in my wereld geklim het en van my oogpunt af gekyk het en alles so mooi duidelik beskryf het - Ek het aanklank gevind daardeur en dit het gevoel asof iemand my huidige frustrasies oor my werk en studies verstaan en my gehelp het om dit in woorde om te sit. Dit was letterlik lewensveranderend!

It was fantastic working with Jan. He demonstrated a keen understanding of the report's content and engaged with our feedback. He listened, both to us and the Holy Spirit and gave feedback as he saw it. I can highly recommend him to others who are trying to gain insight on their design.
