Team coach Jacco Westerbeek from Ede

About Jacco

Jacco Westerbeek, based in Ede in the Netherlands, challenges teams and organisations to take on their collaboration issues for real. He works along two lines: people question their own behaviour, and together they look at what is happening in their collaboration through a systemic lens.

Jacco asks the questions others don’t ask and supports teams and individuals in finding their own answers: sharp, without being blunt. That challenging, inquisitive style leads to ambitions with genuine support and the strength to carry them.

His work covers (executive) team coaching, management development, personal leadership, training, process facilitation and change management. Jacco works in Dutch and English.

A team coach does not help by simply telling a team what is wrong, but by revealing what people need to work well together. This includes differences in communication, decision-making, pace, trust and responses under pressure. Jacco Westerbeek can help your team recognise these patterns and turn them into agreements that remain useful in everyday work.

With Personal User Guide, every team member receives a personal guide based on the Big Five personality model. It shows how someone communicates, collaborates and responds when pressure rises. These insights are not labels; they provide a concrete starting point for an honest conversation about behaviour and needs.

During a team coaching programme, Jacco Westerbeek can bring the personal insights together in a team guide. The gap view shows where team members naturally complement each other and where misunderstandings or friction may arise. The risk analysis also helps identify when strengths become less flexible under pressure.

This means team coaching does not end with a good conversation or a one-off workshop. The team develops a shared language, practical working agreements and material it can revisit later. Want to explore what this could mean for your team? Contact Jacco Westerbeek directly below.
