What our members say about us.

Real leaders, with real stories and results.

“I used to be assertive in my communication, but not very effective. Through Straight-Line Leadership, I’ve learned to really listen. I’m now much clearer, more effective, and I focus more directly on my goal.”

Chris SlabbinckSlabbinck Group

“My business results have improved dramatically. My relationship with my girlfriend is much stronger. We’ve made huge strides in every area.”

Christophe SuerickxSuerickx Group

“From doing everything myself to giving others the opportunity to grow the business, so I can focus on the legacy I want to leave behind.”

Dave van Laar - Leadership
Dave van de LaarEye Watch Security Group

“I realized that my employees are the heart of the company, not me. That’s when I stopped trying to handle everything on my own.”

Joris MeesMees Group

“We used to think: if we’re not there, things won’t get done. Thanks to Straight-Line Leadership, we’ve started working on ourselves. Now we can literally lead a company, rather than just work within it.”

Marc & Geert de KoningKoning Refrigeration Technology

“I used to see employees as a necessary evil. My perspective has completely changed. Learning to talk to them and really being present in the conversation has helped me tremendously.”
