About Jimmy van der Ham

I help people change what they were told could never change.

I'm the founder of Human Optimization and a Licensed Trainer of NLP™, trained directly by Dr. Richard Bandler. I work with business owners, coaches and high performers around the world to change the patterns that hold them back, fast, and without digging into the past.

Learned at the source.

I learned NLP directly from Dr. Richard Bandler, the co-creator of NLP. Today I'm part of the assisting team at his trainings around the world, running practice groups and guiding participants, and I was chosen to translate several of his books into Dutch.

Translating his work meant getting every word and every distinction exactly right. That precision is what I bring into every session and every training.

Beyond NLP, I've trained with him in Design Human Engineering® and Persuasion Engineering®, and I'm a Specialist in Neuro-Hypnotic Repatterning™, and I keep learning at every event I assist.

What you get from me isn't NLP from a book. It's NLP the way its creator teaches it.

Certified at every level.

Then I made it my own.

Bodybuilding taught me that the body changes when you train it the right way. Sales taught me that the only thing that counts is results. Dr. Bandler taught me that the mind works the same way: it runs on patterns, and patterns can be repatterned.

Human Optimization is what I built from all three. Not years of talking about your past, but a way to retrain how your mind runs, so you think, feel and perform at your best, on purpose.

Today I teach it through premium 1:1 coaching, live trainings and online trainings around the world. I work with business owners, coaches and high performers, and with people whose problems they were told would never change.

And I have seen it again and again: when the pattern changes, everything changes. That is Human Optimization.
