I am an author, culture &amp; change consultant and “inspirator”. I’m on a mission to help more people make a difference at work and transform those Dilbert-like workplaces into 21<sup>st</sup> century spaces based on:
<ul>
	<li>positive leadership (encouraging abundance and opportunities while staying realistic),</li>
	<li>“natural” organizational change (including everyone and allowing for unexpected, positive emergence)</li>
	<li>organizational cultures that foster openness, trust and kindness to boost innovation, agility, collaboration and thus results.</li>
	<li>New structures of organizing and collaborating.</li>
</ul>
Let’s move away from employee disengagement, office politics, top-down control and command, stifling micromanagement and bureaucracy, scarcity, work pressure and burnout. It’s time to engage, to energize and to empower ourselves and others – to help develop the world through our workplaces.

That’s why I publish the Leadership &amp; Change Magazine Blog, including a  members area with book summaries, video training, white papers, and webinars. I’ll do my best to help you make YOUR difference.

I also co-founded OCAI online (that provides Cameron &amp; Quinn’s validated Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) online) and teach fellow consultants and leaders how to utilize this tool and I consult with organizations in change around the globe.

I published several books: “Nieuwe Helden” (New Heroes, in Dutch) and “Organizational Culture Change: Unleash your Organization’s Potential in Circles of 10” in addition to the Positive Leadership, Culture &amp; Change Collections based on the magazine.

I have an MScBA degree from Rotterdam School of Management and I’m on a permanent personal and professional development journey through workshops, courses, and training. I’m married with three sons and live in the Netherlands.
