About

I have worked in the field of innovation and creativity for more than 15 years. I have set up programs for innovation, coached intrapreneurial teams and start ups, and brought about culture change in numerous organisations.
I experienced myself and therefore deeply believe that the principles of creativity help us to thrive in an uncertain world. They teach us to open our mind, defer judgment, deconstruct complexity and as such help us to embrace ambiguity. That is why I am so passionate to bring these concepts to organisations. And it really works: so often I’ve seen the amazing effect on a group of people who slowly but surely learn to think in options instead of limitations, take initiative and (calculated) risks, generate novel ideas and bring them to implementation. Once they weave the principles into their daily practices, it not only changes them as a person, but it also makes their work more effective. That makes me really happy! And I’ve heard that my energy and big smile are contagious ;-).
