Every day, we face challenges like global competition, demanding clients, and rapidly evolving technologies. Change is no longer an exception; it’s the rule. Yet, many organizations struggle with resistance, fear, and uncertainty around change. They crave fresh ideas and engagement in their projects, and they need simple approaches to untangle the complexity of change.
This is where The Change Mindset comes in. It’s not just about surviving change—it’s about thriving in it.
We need professionals who:
• Dare to challenge fear and uncertainty by stepping out of their comfort zones and suspending judgment.
• See change as an opportunity, exploring the world from fresh perspectives to spark new ideas.
• Simplify complexity by experimenting with small, actionable steps and embracing failure as a learning tool.
Are you one of those professionals?
YES … suspend your judgment to overcome fear and resistance to change.
AND … explore new perspectives to unlock creativity and engagement.
ACT … execute small, simple experiments to manage complexity and drive innovation.
In this highly interactive and entertaining presentation, you’ll gain the spark, tools, and language to embrace change, influence others, and take bold steps forward. You’ll leave with a sharper, more empowered Change Mindset that transforms problems into possibilities. Yes And Act ... Now!

Next to my signature keynote, I also offer a few other topics that might fit your audience. The second most requested is “YESSS! Making Change Simple and Effective” — a powerful blend of the Change Mindset story and Making Change Simple. It brings together the right attitude, skills, and practical tips to make behaviour change specific, small, and smooth. Of course, every keynote can be tailored with examples relevant to your organisation. You’ll find the other topics in the list below.
