Brave Changemakers

I help changemakers and organizations go from uncertainty and stagnation to designing resilient strategies and impactful societal change, so that they can create lasting, measurable results in their mission-driven work, with creativity, resilience and empathy. As a mentor, trainer, facilotator and RSA Fellow, I combine 25+ years of expertise in strategy, innovation, storytelling, and resilience-building to empower changemakers for lasting impact. What I do:* Mentoring, Training, Facilitating: programs, workshops and courses on impact design for societal change, creative AI labs, storytelling, and resilience.* Speaking: TEDx speaker (TEDxDelft 2015) and professional communicator on societal change and creative leadership.* Author: So, You're An Orphan Now (Dutch: Zo, nu ben je wees) and Live Your Talks. New books in the making. Why work with me?* From co-initiating the now active Dutch Orphan Housing Protection Act to developing Europe’s first award-winning e-learning program, I teach changemakers how to lead with clarity, creativity, and purpose—no matter how complex the challenge.* RSA Fellow | The Royal Society of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce - Empowering leaders since 1754.
