Inspiration for Riverdance Counsel
Saskia: A number of experiences and developments in my own (professional) life have helped me view things profoundly differently, including myself. It turns out that it is quite a challenge to be who you can be, a long and winding road. To do what you really wish to do from within your true essence in connection with others is beautiful. It has been my experience that it provides you with lots of energy and freedom of movement for making use of your talents; but also that it sometimes remains complicated and continues to unfold. However, it makes authentic success possible. With your head, your heart and your hands. Success does not need to be a continuous tour de force and you can move along with the flow of life.
Contributing to the expansion of that capacity in leaders and organisations gives me lots of energy. My long-term business experience with large companies and as an entrepreneur, combined with my experience in behaviour and organisation development, allows me to adequately operate on the intersection between 'hard' and 'soft'. And in the upper current and undercurrent. This is what I enjoy doing most.
