Are you fit for growth?
We make many choices daily. And some choices we never make. Because they may be immensely consequential. That makes choosing hard. There’s a lot at stake.
Growing yourself, your team, and your business is such a choice. A deliberate choice that’s easier and better made when you’re fit. Fit in every way.
Self-aware, pro-active, flexible, aligned, vulnerable, intentional, risk-taking, ambitious, listening, curious, creative, entrepreneurial, dynamic, learning, future proof.
Fit!

Better Starts with Who
TEDx Wassenaar, September 10th, 2020
We live in a world full of disruption and change. A world that makes it easy to be distracted and forget about our dreams. A world where days can go by without hardly noticing.
In this TED talk, I take you on a journey through the desert of change. A desert where it’s easy to get lost if we don’t pay attention to our own reflections, values, and dreams. To make the best of our lives, we need to start with ourselves. Better starts with who.
What I do
I work with executives, leaders, teams, and talent and help them build a better future. I build on the experience I have in general management, retail operations, human resources, and organizational development & learning. I led the HR integration of a large retail merger, facilitated executive teams, coached C-suite leaders, and designed and executed large leadership interventions up to 2000 participants. I’ve been an entrepreneur, consultant, and corporate executive. That’s the foundation for working together successfully on your future.
