I am an author, culture & 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 21st century spaces based on:* positive leadership (encouraging abundance and opportunities while staying realistic), * "natural" organizational change (including everyone and allowing for unexpected, positive emergence) * organizational cultures that foster openness, trust and kindness to boost innovation, agility, collaboration and thus results. Let's move away from employee disengagement, office politics, top-down control and command, stifling micro-management 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 started publishing the digital Leadership & Change Magazine, including a free member's area with book summaries, essays, and webinars. I'll do my best to help you make YOUR difference.I also co-founded OCAI online (that provides Cameron & 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 & 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.If you can't wait to Make Your Difference, join me in the free member's area of Leadership & Change Magazine to download the extras about How You Make A Difference: http://www.leadershipandchangemagazine.com/join-us/
