Gerrit Pelzer is the Co-Creator and Co-Host of Second Crack — The Leadership Podcast. Together with Martin Aldergård, he explores everyday leadership dilemmas and paradoxes. Thought-provoking questions invite you to self-reflect so that you can grow as a leader.Gerrit works as an Executive Coach and (part-time) as an Adjunct Professor of Leadership in the Executive MBA Programme of the Institute of Management. He combines over twelve years of coaching executives with his own leadership experience in Europe and Asia. Thus, he can relate to today’s leaders’ issues, speak their language, and provide practical steps to help them and their teams grow.With a background in the natural sciences, Gerrit also takes a scientific approach to coaching, especially in using the latest insights from applied neuroscience to achieve positive behavioural changes that last. Spending many years in Asia, however, has led him to add wisdom from Zen Buddhism to his practice, thereby creating a unique and holistic approach to executive coaching.Gerrit is happily married, pursues a healthy lifestyle, and has the bad habit of buying more books than he can ever read.
