Hi, I'm Jan Dijkgraaf.
I started my career as a sports journalist at a Dutch newspaper. Afterwards I became editor and sportswriter of the Dutch male magazine Panorama, editor in chief at the free newspaper Metro, the bi-weekly magazine Management Team en the weekly opinion magazine HP/De Tijd. (I forget some short stops at other places, this is not a curricilum vitae).
Then (2010) I started my own company. I wrote about 40 books (about management en about education, gift books and a biography of a famous Dutch soccer hooligan). I worked as a daily columnist. I coach people how to be good freelance journalists, independent professionals how to make money and teams in company's and governmental places how to make news story's. Plus: I blog for people in retail, produce magazines for company's and do some other writing stuff. Mainly I am a 'professional buttkicker'. I kick ass and rebuild people that want to make a fresh start. Plus: I have two daily blogs, Briefje van Jan (a letter to some famous man or woman in the news) and 99woorden.nl, a column of exactly 99 words.
This year I was the no. 1 on the list of GeenPeil for the elections of the new Parliament in the Netherlands. GeenPeil wanted to decide everything through direct democracy. The country wasn't ready for it or I did a lousy job (I did!), because we didn't succeed. So after the elections I restarted my own little company.
Here I wil publish a wise crack for work or home on a Delft Blue tile every day. And incidently I'll write some bigger shizzle.
I hope you'll enjoy the stuff!
All the best,
JanD

Welcome to this amazing community @jndkgrf
Great intro, I hope you will enjoy steemit. Wish you to have a great time on here. You can enjoy my posts too and follow me as well at @pastorlea. Thank you and have a good one
Welcome Jan! It is customary to share some kind of picture of yourself to verify it is really you. Otherwise people might suspect you're an imitator.
Welkom Jan! Het is hier gebruikelijk om een foto te posten van jezelf (bijv. met een briefje met je username erop) om te bevestigen dat jij het bent. De mensen hier houden niet echt van neppe of niet-geverifieerde accounts.
Steem on!
Edit: tip: de gebruikelijke tag voor introductie posts is #introduceyourself. Voor Nederlandstalige posts kun je ook de tags #nl en #teamnl gebruiken om de Nederlandse community te gebruiken.
I think I just did all that :-) Thanks!
Great! Enjoy your time on Steemit!
Welcome on Steemit Jan! I' glad to have you here!
You should correct your tag to #introduceyouRself not #introduceyouself.
Thanks! My English is poor, but that poor... #R

Jan, nog een tip: ik zie dat je veel comments hier upvote. Wat wel handig is om te weten, is dat Steemit met 'voting power' werkt die afneemt naarmate je meer upvote. Na 10 upvotes is je voting power op en zal de beloning voor de ontvanger van volgende upvotes minder worden. Om je voting power weer op te laden, moet je dan max. 24 uur wachten.
Nu is dit nog niet zo'n probleem, maar naarmate je meer Steem Power verzamelt, zul je dit wellicht merken als je posts en comments upvote.
Dank voor de tip, ik zal er rekening mee houden!
Hey Jan! Greetings :) Your post made me smile because my relatives live next door to a famour Dutch journalist (I won't say which one other than it is not Mischa Kat because it's a quiet neighbourhood lol) and they are really proud about this fact. Followed you.
Now I really want to know the name!
Ha! His first name begins with F.....he's often on TV. He doesn't live in Amsterdam. But that's all I'll say :)
