Hello, I'm Crispijn

Over the course of the last year, the founding team and I at Submix have been fortunate to work with Crispijn as our executive coach, both individually and as a leadership team. The measurable impact of his coaching is undeniable—our company has experienced a clear shift in effectiveness and collaboration since we began this journey. Even more importantly, our entire team recognizes the tangible difference in how we operate day to day. Crispijn has an exceptional talent for helping individuals and teams reframe their thinking, approach challenges, and communicate more effectively. His guidance fosters empathy and effectiveness, empowering us to grow as leaders and colleagues. This is made possible by his remarkable ability to listen deeply, communicate clearly, and connect with genuine empathy. Crispijn has earned the complete trust of everyone in our organization, from leadership to employees across all levels. I wholeheartedly recommend his coaching services, regardless of the stage or state of your company or leadership journey.

In the sea of personal and business coaches, Crispijn stands out in a transformative way that can only be experienced. What strikes me most is his unique virtuosity—his ability to adapt seamlessly to the topic and situation at hand. Working with Crispijn, I have had profound epiphanies that illuminated behavior and thought patterns I had not been aware of. In my professional life, I have recently navigated significant changes and challenges.

During my dialogs with Crispijn, we explored deeply personal areas that revealed entrenched notions needing to surface. Crispijn has an exceptional ability to detect when I am sidestepping discomfort, and he unflinchingly addresses the underlying issues. His approach, a blend of directness and empathy—perhaps you can call it tough love—unravels life’s complexities and paves the way for genuine growth. The process of growth that followed reached into every part of my life.

Working with Crispijn has fundamentally transformed how I view myself as a leader. I have let go of the need to conform to external expectations of how I “should” lead and have embraced a more authentic, deliberate style. Decisions now come from a place of clarity and balance, as I feel deeply connected to my core. Ultimately, my personal growth has become a powerful driver of my business’s success. Crispijn has helped me uncover leadership abilities I did not even realize I possessed. This transformation has not only fueled my development but has also positively impacted my team and the growth of my company.

Crispijn’s warm and deeply connecting nature makes it easy to trust him and open up. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been introduced to Crispijn and to have had the opportunity to work with him. I highly recommend Crispijn to anyone dedicated to meaningful personal and professional growth.

Working with Crispijn over the past year has been nothing short of life-changing. He is a no-nonsense coach who goes straight to the core, cutting through any distractions to uncover what truly matters. When it came to my sore spots, Crispijn didn’t tiptoe around them. Instead, he approached them with kindness, persistence, and care, ensuring I faced the issues I had been avoiding.

What stood out most was his ability to hold space for me to do the work myself. He never let me squirm away from uncomfortable truths but also never made me feel pressured. The tools he provided were practical and incredibly effective, giving me the clarity and perspective I needed to make meaningful progress. Crispijn helped me separate my old belief systems from my true self, showing me how to embrace who I am at my core.

What has changed for me is that I am now deeply in touch with what I truly need. I can recognize old convictions—both my own and others’—almost instantly and no longer feel compelled to please or seek approval. I’ve stopped caving in to external pressures or second-guessing my instincts. As a performer, staying connected to my intuition is essential, and Crispijn has been instrumental in helping me protect and nurture this connection. Today, I feel more confident, more direct, and more grounded, both as a leader and as an artist.

As a professional singer and actress, I found his understanding of creatives and multi-potentialists invaluable. He knows how to navigate the unique challenges of those who juggle multiple identities and passions, adapting naturally to every conversation. His methods are universal yet deeply personalized, making me feel completely at ease throughout the process.

Crispijn’s coaching is transformative, heartfelt, and deeply thought-provoking. He offers the “aha moments” and epiphanies that open your eyes and create lasting change. I cannot recommend him highly enough—for companies, creatives, or anyone seeking to overcome personal challenges.

Get him while he’s still available—he’s a rare find!

I had the privilege of working with Crispijn during a particularly challenging period in my career. After hitting a dead end, I struggled to regain my professional identity and confidence. Through Crispijn’s insightful coaching, he helped me craft a clear and compelling vision for my future as a leader in UX design. What stood out to me about our time together was Crispijn’s ability to keep me focused on my values and long-term goals, rather than getting bogged down by the details of how to achieve them. This approach empowered me to make confident, strategic decisions about my career progression. Crispijn also guided me to confront deeper, personal issues during our sessions. He helped me see how my own convictions and self-imposed expectations were creating unnecessary emotional dependencies. His strategies didn’t just address my career—they promoted growth and resilience across much broader aspects of my life. All in all, Crispijn wasn’t just a mirror or sounding board—he asked tough, unexpected questions that led to real breakthroughs. Without his support, I might never have discovered some of the critical insights about myself and my career. Working with him reinvigorated my passion for design and reminded me of my true potential. His coaching went far beyond career guidance; it was truly life-changing for me. If you’re looking to grow through a transition or unlock your full potential, I can’t recommend Crispijn’s coaching highly enough. His empathetic yet challenging style will help you turn obstacles into opportunities for self-discovery and growth. He offers not only strategies but also the tools and mindset to support your development in a sustainable way.

I can’t recommend Crispijn enough—working with him has been an amazing and transformative experience. He has an ability to see the best in you, helping you recognize and build on your own strengths. His deep business knowledge and tailored approach make each session feel truly personalized. Crispijn excels at sharing real-life stories that bring leadership principles to life, and he’s always willing to revisit ideas, making sure you understand them and can apply them to your own journey.

Since working with Crispijn, I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone more often and with greater confidence. I feel more comfortable exploring new directions and developing fresh ideas. My decision-making has also improved—I now make decisions with clarity and conviction, trusting my instincts and abilities more than ever before.

I didn’t quite know what I needed when I first reached out to Crispijn — but it turned out to be exactly the right moment.

Crispijn helped me gain better control over my role as a leader within my company. With his international experience, he didn’t just bring relevant insights — he helped me take a clearer look at myself. He reflected back what he observed, directly and without detours, and always in concrete terms. That helped me see more clearly where I was getting in my own way — and where my real strengths lie.

What I appreciated most was how natural the conversations felt. Crispijn listens closely, asks the right questions, and quickly gets to the heart of things. He combines sharp analysis with a calm and approachable presence. I felt taken seriously and noticed I was making progress faster than I’d expected.

The result? I’ve become less rigid in difficult situations, introduced a new way of communicating, and created more trust within the team. I now support my people more effectively because I’ve learned to listen better and assess more precisely where my input really makes a difference — both for them and the business as a whole.

I highly recommend Crispijn to other entrepreneurs. Many of us struggle with similar issues without fully realizing what’s really going on — let alone how to fix it. Crispijn helps bring clarity and movement, without making it complicated.
