In-depth topics presented in an engaging and practical way
I am happy to speak about management, leadership, learning & development or specifically operations management. Or highlight what makes and changes a management culture in organizations. I always bring in how useful and and how useless management can be and of course focus on what’s the difference. I like to put question marks behind the believes my audience has and show them what other perspectives and possibilities there are.
As a seasoned leadership expert with over 35 years of experience in management, coaching, and change management, I can bring unparalleled insights into the challenges of today’s dynamic workplace. With a unique ability to bridge strategy and execution, I have led multidisciplinary teams across industries, transforming operations, driving innovation, and fostering cultures of resilience. This helps me to speak the language of management and present my keynote also in a practical and pragmatic way.
Having traveled the world for 20+ years, working with global organizations and advising executives on navigating uncertainty in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world. As an executive and leadership coach, I combine real-world expertise with a passion for empowering individuals and teams to reach their full potential. This brings great ingredients for keynotes that spark.
I deliver captivating presentations on topics like:
- Leading in a VUCA world
- Building resilient, adaptable organizations (the learning organization)
- The intersection of leadership and culture
- Empowering change through people-first strategies
- Learning & Development in the AI era
- Developing performance and quality in operations
- Managing your digital transformation
Through storytelling, actionable insights, and a deep understanding of organizational dynamics, I inspire audiences to think differently, embrace challenges, and lead with purpose. I also ensure they reflect on their own perceptions and confront them with new/different ones to make them look in the mirror, before judging on someone else.
