Description

Change communication is where my heart lies. Over the past few years, I have enthusiastically delved into this field and worked on challenging change processes. The best part? Involving people in a change and ensuring they not only understand what is happening but also truly become a part of it.

My foundation lies in 25 years of marketing and communication, supplemented by training such as Behavioral Change at the Behavior Change Academy. I utilize this combination of experience and knowledge to mobilize organizations and achieve concrete results.

Change always begins with the right questions. Who are the people in the organization? What drives them? How do we make them part of the process? By listening carefully, collaborating, and making room for reflection, we ensure that plans are not just conceived but also effective.
