engaging speaker
making the complex accessible and the unimaginable dreamable
As a keynote speaker, panellist and moderator, I don’t talk at my audience but invite them to actively engage, (un)learn and imagine. I have delivered keynotes and participated in panels in various contexts, such as education, business and the non-profit sector, at places like B Lab Benelux, Business for Good Festival, Impact Festival, HKU University of Arts, RESPOND, Erasmus University Rotterdam, and the regenerative educators community.
I honour and respect every space as an opportunity to invite people to question deeply ingrained stories and habits, unravel worldviews, imagine regenerative futures and explore their role in these times of transitions.
sample topics
Grounded in the shifting horizons spiral
The journey towards regenerative futures is non-linear, messy, uncertain and one that we can only walk together. I share invitational and stirring stories that invoke deep questioning and reflectivity. I intend to create movement. As ancestors, perfection isn’t our responsibility, but stimulating movement towards more life-aligned futures is!
The role of regenerative organizational practices in times of deep transitions
What if the intention of education becomes to nurture regenerative capacities?
From attempting to control the future towards holding space for reflection and emergence
Unlearning
Unlearning & Unravelling Modernities, myths, stories, assumptions, and promises.
Imagining
imagining alternative pathways through multispecies, multireality and multigenerational imagination, kindled by lateral thinking, mindfulness and the arts.
TRANSFORMING
What conditions do we need to remember and nurture our innate regenerative capacities? What can our role be in creating these conditions? How do we learn to prioritise movement over perfection and long-term healing over short-term band-aid responses?

my speaking tone and style
My style has been described as captivating, thought-provoking and heartfelt. I make complex topics, such as collapse awareness and living systems understanding, accessible by grounding them in stories, metaphors, poetry and evoking questions and engaging the audience with imagination exercises and moments of inquiry. To ensure an engaging and lasting experience that ignites movement, I draw on close to ten years of creative facilitation experience.

When invited to a keynote, workshop or webinar, I receive it as an opportunity to captivate the audience through intentional engagement. To ensure a vibrant experience, my speaking engagements are grounded in the three main practices.

- Jolting through lateral thinking provocations
- Movement through small invitations
