  • G'Day my friends & connections in Australia and New Zealand,

    After six years, I’m finally heading back to Australia and New Zealand for a 6-week trip early next year. I’m excited to catch up with old friends — and explore collaborations with inspiring organisations while I’m there.


    What can you do for my organisation? Want to boost your team’s change mindset, reduce resistance, or increase engagement? Let’s talk. I’d love to contribute — via a keynote, workshop or creative session. Topics include: developing a change mindset, boosting engagement, embracing uncertainty with simple tools, changing behaviour, and more.


    Why is this interesting for us? You get a globally experienced speaker — I’ve spoken in 40+ countries — at my Belgian rate. Normally, flying me in would cost 21,500 AUD, but since I’m already in the region, it’s a rare chance to book me at a much lower fee.


    Period: I am available between February 1st and March 18th, 2026.


    Can I see you in action before we decide to work with you? I’m hosting a special C.I.A. session for Aussie and Kiwi contacts on Friday 27th June (6AM Belgium = noon Perth, 2PM Brisbane, 3PM Sydney/Melbourne, 5PM Auckland). It’s a 1-hour online session giving you a taste of my style and topics — I’ll run it with at least 10 participants. Let me know here if you're interested.
