Multiplier of talent
Agile transformations in Businesses, Organisations & Movements
“Be aware of what motivates you and you can achieve it because everyone is motivated by something.”
In the current agile environments, we spend the majority of our time communicating with staff members and stakeholders. But how much time do we spend on making that more effective? As an agile coach, Martijn Nas gets to work on making communication more effective! The world is really changing every day. This change requires adaptability, being agile instead of just doing things the agile way! Because Martijn doesn’t just work on agility in your organisation, but also in businesses and even in movements like the International Scouting Movement with more than 55 million members! How does your organisation change? Start the preparation with your staff members now. When you contribute to the engagement of your staff, you contribute to the involvement of the staff, which is crucial for the manoeuvrability of your organisation. Your organisation and your people are worth the investment twice as much. “Martijn Nas doesn’t believe in the existence of one ideal coaching technique, the method has to align with the coachee.”
Because the ideal approach is different for everybody. That’s why MartijnNas.com works with a multitude of techniques from which he flawlessly picks out the one that works for your organisation and staff. By using the right mix, talents and motivation come to the surface. Staff members that have more pleasure and engagement with their work are your capital.

Agile
How can you be congruent, agile, demonstrate adaptability and show that you embrace change? This has to be done with PASSION! As the leader, you are the torch bearer of change. Without this torch bearer, you’re just muddling along.

NLP
Each cultural change requires reprogramming of the people in the organisation. Reprogramming can easily be achieved with NLP, programming the convictions that feed the behaviour of people. Influencing the capital of your organisation with new ENERGY, and providing this energy yourself.

You don’t just become a Dutch national champion It requires PERSISTENCE, it requires special mental toughness. I don’t just show this mental toughness, but I also transfer it to others. “Nobody has ever jumped higher by setting the bar lower!” Martijn Nas
Who does Martijn think he is!?
From professional skater at Holiday on Ice to sparring partner, trainer and agile coach, Martijn Nas has experienced it all. Effort and perseverance form the common thread in his career. The lubricating oil in any career is his PEP: Passion, Energy and Persistence. That's what brought Martijn to where he stands now. And that's what he imparts on his interlocutors. For over 10 years, Martijn has been working on the tangent plane of applied psychology in agile environments in large and medium businesses. Outside the well know techniques in agility such as SAFe, LESS and Scrum, he also uses coaching techniques such as Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), motivational interviewing and Socratic, solution-driven and provocative coaching.
Martijn is at his strongest when you bring him in to be the link between the abstraction in the board room and the pragmatism on the floor during change processes.

Primary and secondary processes
Ask yourself where parallel lines get entangled...
In each form of interaction where people do things together, we should be able to discover two parallel lines. These two imaginary lines represent the primary process and the secondary process in the organisation. This video perfectly illustrates, by means of the figures on the sled, how these parallels are not always synchronised, just like in your own organisation.
When the lines are asynchronous, there is ineffectiveness.
In this video, the first figure, with the red scarf, represents the primary process and the second figure, with the blue scarf, represents the secondary process. The latter is also known as the undercurrent. I have often noticed that only the primary process is argued and discussed within organisations. Whereas problems in the transformation, and especially to agile working, often occur in the secondary processes; how do we actually interact with each other?
As an agile coach and leadership trainer, this is my area of expertise. Together, you'll have to start lining up or aligning your organisation in order to get more control over all lines within the organisation. This enables the organisation to learn to align itself, which is even more important than you getting control. That's what I call coaching in an agile environment, and always with one ultimate goal in mind. As a coach, as a sparring partner, you always have to keep the endpoint in mind, to make sure that the organisation is adaptive enough to continue on its own feet as quickly as possible!
