Change is hard

Your team tends to hold on to what they know and fear anything new and/or unknown. Yet change is unavoidable when we want to grow our vision, our companies, our employees and ourselves.   

Change is overwhelming

People often think that change will impact everything all at once. For some strange reason we tend to forget that we ourselves can decide on the pace, the amount and the size of our steps.

Change is confusing

As human beings we tend to instinctively look for safety and security. Therefor change often tends to make us confused and insecure. Only to then realize that once the ‘new’ wears off, we have created ourselves the next comfort zone.

Hi there.
Imagine a man coming in. He’s friendly. Joyful. Expressive. Very present to what you want to discuss with him and happy to be of service. His enthusiasm is contagious, his playfulness apparent, his creativity endless. At the same time he is practical and to the point. He knows his stuff. There’s also something you can’t quite put your finger on. A kind of innocence that puts you at ease. An openness that is integer and authentic. Take a deep breath, relax and allow that smile to emerge on your face.You’ve just met Cyriel Kortleven.
