The value of coaching shouldn’t be a mystery. At JVR Coaching, we believe impact should be measurable, visible, and meaningful — both for the individual and the organisation.
That’s why we track progress using:

We prefer working with suppliers who, like us, have a strong focus on research and like collaborating with them on local norming, validations, and adaptations to ensure the fidelity of our offerings. We believe that our independence and focus on research are what differentiate us in a saturated market and which has allowed us to build a trusted brand with both clients and suppliers.
Today we have access to over six hundred assessments, used in industry, education, and clinical settings, many of which are well-known and trusted brands. We also provide various types of talent management and development solutions to our clients.
