Make a plan, not a survival strategy but an ambitious plan for a fulfilling life. What would you… Continue reading THOUGHT OF THE DAY
Reading time: 2 minutesThinking time: maybe 30? Yesterday I got really bored. So incredibly bored it made me feel sad and lonely. Not lonely as in missing other people, but lonely as in missing perspective. A bit helpless even. Me against an angry world. And although I love my clients, I was not looking forward… Continue reading THE BENEFITS OF BEING BORED

In between a picture of a breath taking turquoise lagoon with white sandy beaches and Tony Robbins: “A woman with a mission!” Small, cyan blue letters on a white background. If you’d have to find it you’d have to look for it… Continue reading A WOMAN WITH A MISSION!

Leestijd: 2 minuten Een brutale Nederlander in een gereserveerde Amerikaanse boardroom. Een gepassioneerde zuiderling die net iets anders met conflicthantering omgaat. Een beleefde Belg op zoek naar meer impact. Tonnen aan ambitie. Een groot verantwoordelijkheidsgevoel in een wereld die steeds kleiner wordt. Gelimiteerd door beperkte mandaten en complexe politieke processen zoeken we onze weg… Continue reading BOUWEN AAN JE CARRIÈRE, EEN KWESTIE VAN BUIGEN OF BARSTEN
