Jean Marc Rommes
For over 20 years, Jean Marc has acted as a catalyst for professional development and organisational change, helping managers and teams design business strategies, build customer relationships, achieve performance goals and enhance their communication skills and processes.
As a facilitator,  he has helped implement change and development initiatives with some of the world’s leading companies in the technical, automotive, retail and service arenas, as well as assisted smaller, yet determined and resolutely future oriented organisations across a number of sectors generate a new vision and fresh perspectives for their business. This project diversity has allowed him to acquire a keen eye for what separates one company or industry from another, as well as what binds them together.
As a coach, he has been a sounding board for executives, managers, business owners and independents alike and his international background and multicultural experience have often been perceived as a specific added value of his service provision.
Through his easy-going yet no-nonsense approach, he strives to form long-term relationships with his clients and to make every conversation valuable to them by applying some of his core skills: listening, asking probing questions, adding in different perspectives, and generally raising the game. This also allows him to build a deeper understanding of what makes his clients tick and to carefully design and deliver specific, outcome focused programmes.
A postgraduate degree in Philosophy and Political Science as well as his multilingual background motivate him to hone the bigger picture and engage in conversations with a wider audience, and so in addition to his catalytic work, Jean Marc now writes two blogs, one on long term societal evolution and its impact on business, the other on specific business questions covering strategy, customer relationships and employee performance.
Having found his voice partly through being his own worst boss for years, there is no doubt in Jean Marc’s mind that resilience, initiative and leadership have become crucial survival skills in this age of permanent change and growing complexity: in fact, in the context of the increasing value fragmentation and technological convergence that form the backdrop to our economies he would strongly argue that, like it or not, today, everyone is an entrepreneur.
