We are for real

When I am touched in a training session or conversation with clients, I often get a colour on my cheeks. On that, I describe to the participant or client that I am touched and why. Often this is the starting point of a great conversation as well as teaching participants that feelings are allowed to be there and that subtitling this undercurrent yields a lot. 

We are of the wall

My versatile background and sensitivity to everything happening in the space help me make the most of it. 

We innovate for tomorrow

From the moment I left university I have always continued to develop myself in many ways. This ensures that I know myself very well but can also often offer a different perspective. 

We float like a butterfly and sting like a bee

We score without compromises

People often describe me as energetic and enthusiastic but also perceptive and critical. I am not easily satisfied in my work and thus ensure maximum (learning) efficiency. That this sometimes involves confrontation and friction, albeit in a respectful and non-judgemental way, is part of the job. In the beginning of my career, I found this exciting but now I recognise that these are often the most valuable learning moments for the participants!
