About The Guest:
Cyriel Kortleven – Making Change Simple
For more than 20 years, I have been inspiring organisations like IKEA, NASA and Unilever to approach Change with courage, confidence and enthusiasm. My pragmatic advice has earned me the nickname The Simplifier. In an increasingly complex world, we need new simple perspectives to enable us to navigate uncertainty and to turn problems into opportunities.
Be ready for practical tips & tools to help you as a leader drive behavioural change. Your audience will be armed with new language and a boost of energy to transform the fear of change into a positive attitude towards the goals you want to achieve. I use interaction and humour to create a context where people think and feel differently to reignite their appetite for creativity, taking risks and achieving ambitious results.
Don’t mind the change. Change your Mind.
