Lean Change Management & LEGO Serious Play

I am an experienced facilitator and Management 3.0 course developer, helping new and experienced leaders to grow their skills to become better leaders. By becoming better leaders, they can support teams in creating value. 

As a coach, I have helped many (junior) leaders to grow. Helped them find the right balance between empowering teams and setting the proper constraints. Many leaders struggle with motivating teams, doing performance reviews, or delegating work. As an experienced leader with 20+ years of hands-on experience, I get energized by sharing my experiences and helping people to gain new insights.

Successful teams are essential for an organization. Workers who reported feeling part of a team were not only 2.7 times more likely to be fully engaged. Moreover, they were three times as likely to report being highly resilient and twice as likely to report feeling a strong sense of belonging to their organization(1).

I am the founder of The Art of Teams, which is about helping teams create value. I share my insights regularly, for example, via TedX. 

During my Management 3.0 workshops and coaching, I combine my leadership experience, knowledge about helping teams create value, and Management 3.0 knowledge to create an inspiring workshop. A workshop where attendees exchange experiences and learn about modern leadership tools. I was the first facilitator to receive the Management 3.0 Certificate of Practice.

I am the author of three books (15.000+ downloads), "Doing It - Management 3.0 Experiences", "Art of Teams - Helping Teams to create value" and “40+ Ideas to spice up your retrospective”.

Bringing Agile to companies takes a lot of facilitation and knowledge sharing, that's why I'm an Agile Change Facilitator and trainer. I love helping companies adapt towards a more flexible way of working, help teams to work towards better results and facilitating change management. Using the right techniques at the right time to get people to a new level of understanding about their situation, the job at hand and how to use their energy to get there.

With 10 years of experience in agile tranisitions, I help teams and individuals within organisations through facilitation of meetings and brainstorms, knowledge sharing, trying to ask the right questions at the right time and offering multiple options when looking for solutions. I'm experienced in getting groups with different cultural backgrounds together, helping them to find how they can improve as a collective and achieve their common goals.

I'm a Licensed Management 3.0 Practitioner and Facilitator, Certified LeSS Practitioner, Professional Scrum Master I, Professional Scrum Product Owner I, Lean Change Facilitator, Certified Performance Management Innovator (PMI) and LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® facilitator, Innvoation Games and Liberating Structures practitioner and I practice, mix and match knowledge and techniques however the circumstances call for them.

Fluently trilingual, I love facilitation, moderation, training, high profile customer contacts, issue management, change management, scrum, lean & kanban. I'm also knowledgeable in more technological area's such as IT, the paper industry, industrial printing and enveloping productions and direct marketing, but also very passionateI the HR aspects of agile, which is too often left out of the loop until it's almost too late.
