BACKGROUND
Product management, Organisational change management, Tennis coach
We are for real
Tennis taught me that it doesn't work to force every stroke. The more you try to control, the faster things go wrong. Only when you focus your attention on what really matters - your movement, your balance, your rhythm - do things improve.
We are of the wall
Reminds me of a song... “Life ain't so bad at all, if you live it off the wall”
By nature, I get bored easily. I love it when things turn out just a little differently from how I thought they would. Things never run perfectly, and as far as I am concerned, that is exactly the point.
We innovate for tomorrow
It is ok not to know and to have no ready-made answer. By working together, making mistakes and then reflecting on them royally, we keep making progress.
We float like a butterfly and sting like a bee
I like lightness, a joke in between, not making things too heavy. I can also come out sharp when needed. Sometimes one direct question is enough to shake everything up. It's not always comfortable, but honest.
We score without compromises
I'm into analysing and probing. I do this because I am simply very curious, and to find out the question behind the question. What does this person, team or organisation really need?
