About Dirk Cassiers

I’m on a mission to improve the lives of thousands of business people worldwide. When I was an IT Business partner at a big multinational, I saw many colleagues struggling with high work pressure and impossible deadlines. Like me, I thought this pressure was temporary and that putting in many hours would make things better. Nothing could be further from the truth. About 30% of my direct colleagues got burned out and were out for many months. And bad enough, some fell back into their old habits and got a big bang twice. My mother always said: “It is better to prevent than to cure”. That also applies here. The consequence of too much and prolonged exposure to stress is that the body burns up all its energy. Too little or even no energy leads without a doubt to severe problems. The solution is simple. Instead of treating the consequences, we should increase the energy, just like you connect your laptop to the electrical network when the batteries are almost low. At that moment, you are not going to delete programs or free up disk space. No, you connect your laptop to the net. So our solution is actually very straightforward: concentrate on increasing the energy, and the rest will take care of itself. I have been doing Tai Chi for over twenty years, and it has clearly helped me through several difficult times in my life. I have experienced, like no other, that these centuries-old Tai Chi techniques deeply relax your body and therefore absorb a lot of energy. I have built an online training platform with my mission to help people and my passion for this martial sport. This is not a learning process. It is a journey for the rest of your life.
