Impact on society as a whole.

Publications.

How does our approach and guidance relate to society, and how do youth organisations, schools and professionals look back on our collaboration? I enjoy keeping this conversation going. I am passionate about sharing my perspective on personal leadership, both today and in the future.

Below, you can read more about my vision and results in published interviews and other articles.

Stichting Studiezalen: Stem & Spiegel podcast.

Talent development: who are you really and what suits you?

"And then at some point I thought: I simply need to start earlier. I need to start younger. Reach young people who don't have the means or haven't yet encountered these kinds of tools that help them understand themselves."

In this podcast, Beyzanur Uzuner and Dennis Osafo from Stichting Studiezalen interview me. We discuss innate talents versus learned behaviour, the stress of making choices and the pressure of social media, why working against your nature can lead to burnout, and giving young people a chance, even without years of work experience.

Young Colfield.

What it takes to build future-ready leadership.

"For me, future leadership is less about position and more about the ability to help talent flourish within a group."

Young Colfield develops young talent and connects them with organisations. Suzanne and Casper from Young Colfield asked me what it takes to build future-ready leadership. A subject I enjoy discussing.

In this interview, we discuss the importance of knowing yourself: understanding both your strengths and your limits. We talk about the desire to move beyond compartmentalised services in society and the consequences of a healthcare system focused on treatment. Perspectives on leadership, advice for young talent and how young people can stand out.

SaKS schools.

Why starting early matters.

"About three and a half years ago, I sat opposite a 60-year-old man who realised, through his assessment results, that he had spent years doing something he wasn't suited to. He should have followed a very different path, but no longer had the energy to change it. He decided to stop working altogether. That experience stayed with me: people need to discover who they are and what drives them much earlier."

Together with Inge Adams, a coach and cross-school training specialist at SaKS, I discuss the importance of knowing what suits you from an early age.

We discuss the combination of conscious talents and subconscious motivations, and what this programme offers parents.
