About Us
We are dedicated to empowering individuals and teams through leadership development, developing team norms, helping individuals to change, and transform organisations.
We know from practice - and the science is catching up now - that well-being in the workplace matters. The result is better health, more people present at work, and working closer to their full potential, more creativity and performance. In short, happier people produce more and better.
Our values include respect for minorities, and we know that more diversity, and a more rich environment, leads to a greater choice of options and therefore better decisions.
We disapprove violence, and this includes inappropriate or exceessive pressure. This is outdated and ineffective.
Our business reduces its environmental footprint as much as possible. We use the electric vehicle and the train. We voluntarily contribute to planting mangroves, a very effective way of storing carbon, that also restores degraded land and provides income to locals. We contribute monthly to www.goforest.be and we plant hundreds of trees every year ourselves.
What we do
Scientifically proven, consistently effective
We are dedicated to empowering individuals and teams through leadership development, developing team norms, helping individuals to change, and transform organisations. Our unique approach, combining the Intentional Change Theory and Emotional Intelligence (EI).
Our neuro biologically informed approach, ensures high levels of engagement, increased job satisfaction, and reduced stress and absenteeism. We build sustainable transformation.
We often work along side other project associated with change, such as digital transformation.
We trained hundreds of professionals in different aspects of management and leadership, and we coached leaders towards more effective behaviours.
With a scientific and technology background, and trained in psycho-somatic therapy, we succesfully transform difficult behaviour and ingrained conflicts.
Team work
Team must develop trust and develop productive norms to perform. The need to include mutual agreements on roles, responsibilities and rules. Once the norms are established team members must challenge each other to respect and update them.
We teach and coach teams to develop and maintain productive team norms.
Management and leadership
When I managed teams and managers they performed better than average in good and bad times. The team spirit was resilience when facing difficult situations. It turned out that my coaching style worked very well. Researching the scientific litterature explained why and helped further refining my approach. I use and teach resonant leadership confirmed by neuroscience and informed by recent research on stress-responses.
Organisational transformation
Whether transformation concerns organisation, work process, digital transformation or a combination of those, the change component needs to be managed carefully to guarantee success. (Hidden) anxiety or anger, and withdrawal can be important obstacles to successful transformation.
Our approach uses the Intentional Change Theory as a (scientifically validated) framework for positive change. We use iterations developing a compelling vision, comparing with today's reliaty, planning, building competences and experimenting, and receiving feedback as a basis for next iterations.
The key to success is maintaining an important degree of positivity, that supports learning, change and motivation. A focus on issues and gaps doesn't do the job.
Human-centred design
To succeed digital or other transformation, it is key to co-design the future situation with the users, with the directives from leadership as guiding principles. The approach is straightforward: It starts with user research, brainstorming solutions, and testing prototypes to get solid proof that solutions will deliver desired results, before building any solution.
Human-centred design can be applied to digital transformation, including the the use of AI, process improvement and product and service design.
How It Works

Personalised coaching
Collaborators may have difficulties performing for several reasons. The nature of their relationships may be a factor. Unwittingly they may have behaviours that create friction with others. They may suffer from stress. Or it maybe their methodology. Coaching can greatly help changing behaviours and improving performance sustainably.
Managers can choose to externalise coaching or be trained to coach themselves.
We use the scientifically validated approach to sustainable coaching based on the Intentional Change Theory.
Team coaching
Team must develop trust and develop productive norms to perform. Once the norms are established they need to challenge each other to respect and update them.
Self-managed or managed teams often need to be primed on these issues, before their performance takes off.
Project management
We can manage implementing training and coaching programs.
With our experience in managing the design and build of an industrial cloud platform, we can assist your OT/IT teams in their project and program management.
