Founder | Consultant | Trainer | Coach

The Tailored Intrapreneurship Learning Toolbox (TILT) is about creating innovative habits. It’s not a one-directed training that ends up in your drawer. It’s an applied learning approach to develop intrapreneurs that can independently generate value for your company!

Tailored Intrapreneurship Learning Toolbox

Storytelling is a fantastic way to share and inspire! I have experiences to draw upon and share – the good, the bad and the ugly. If you’re looking for an experienced and inspiring speaker – look no further. I’d love to work with you for other event-related work, such as event moderation, innovation panelist, and workshop host.

Exciting Keynotes

Having lived and breathed Ideation & Innovation as a practitioner, I can now provide you with hands-on advise as your trainer and coach. At the heart of successful, value generating ideation is setting the right question and driving a more intense collaboration. It’ll deliver higher implementation ratios and thus enable you to realize more value.

Enabling Training & Coaching

Hire me as your external Campaign or Community Manager, or completely outsource online ideation to me with the RiverStoneBlue All-In-One Ideation Pack.

Intern Business Improvement

Igniting innovation within corporate walls is my passion. For over a decade, I've guided corporate employees to unlock their creative potential and drive meaningful change from within their organizations.

Many talented professionals feel stifled by rigid corporate structures, struggling to bring fresh ideas to life. I bridge this gap, empowering individuals to become catalysts for innovation in their companies.

Through proven frameworks and hands-on learning experiences, I transform corporate employees into skilled intrapreneurs. My approach blends design thinking, lean startup methodologies, and business model innovation to equip professionals with practical tools for ideation and execution.

Participants in my programs consistently report increased confidence in pitching ideas, improved problem-solving skills, and a renewed sense of purpose in their roles. Many have successfully launched internal projects that have significantly impacted their organizations' bottom lines.

My tailored courses and workshops have helped hundreds of corporate innovators across various industries. From ideation sprints to long-term innovation capability building, I provide the guidance and support needed to navigate the complexities of corporate innovation.

If you're ready to unleash your innovative potential and make a lasting impact within your organization, let's connect. Together, we can transform your ideas into reality and propel your career to new heights.

INTO THE LIGHT

An Innovative program about the science and art of storytelling. Delivered across six weeks of theory and practise with expert coaches and facilitators, who are performers themselves, to gain or improve your skills for impactful presentations and influencing meetings.

Inspiring Trainer & Impactful Coach

Art Partner

Since 2013 over 700 consultants, accountants, directors and partners followed the storytelling course ‘Into the light: the science & art of storytelling’ that she runs with Andreas Vonder and Art Partner.

Storytrainer & Coach

E.L.P. English Language Productions & In Resonance Coaching

Workshops & Writing, Training & Coaching for Communication & Performance. 

I regularly challenge myself to perform, to script write, to stand up and deliver. It can be someone else's material, a short story impromptu, or a full production of a One Woman Show for the Amsterdam StoryTelling Festival. https://storytellingfestival.nl/speaking-in-tongues/

I know what it takes to make a story stick when pitching and I know what it takes to rehearse, to overcome nerves, manage expectations and reflect on success to get to the next level. 

There is an inside world and an outside world. How we structure and manage our experience and information on the inside,  affects how we are perceived and perform on the outside. 

And  every time we speak in public, it is a performance.

My passion is closing the gap between theory and application, knowing and doing, policy and practice, or the personal and the professional.

I deliver workshops, lectures and coaching around the stories we hear, share and tell ourselves, to develop curiosity and confidence for more effective communication.

My Masters Degree in Psychology & Theatre gave me a strong background in theory, then 30 years on stage gave the experience of applying it in Performance. Throughout those years I shared my expertise by teaching Drama and Theatre Arts at International Schools and then Amsterdam Hogeschool voor Kunst , which gave me deep understanding of experiential and student-centered learning. 

At the same time, I was engaged through Organisational Psychology Bureaus, HR, Learning & Development centers as a Training Actor in Role Play Assessments. I would be asked to give feedback and then return the next day to coach participants around a particular development point to get them to the next level in their communication skills.  

With all this ‘inside’ information, it was an easy step to write the scenarios that challenged critical decision-making and emotional intelligence skills, finally devising and delivering whole innovation programs for organizations and teams myself. Always maintaining a creative element, because of my artistic background.

While having a family, I followed my love of physical expression and mastering the body, by retraining as a Physiotherapist and becoming an Aikido Sensei, to keep my sanity.

I founded 'In Resonance' as my coaching practice to integrate all this information through a Mind-Body energy system. 
I work with professionals from IT, Legal, Finance, or anyone who struggles taking Strategic positions in customer and stakeholder Management, Team Lead, or Executive roles, to clarify the story you want to share with others, the story you tell yourself and how you want to embody your message and values.

Most recently I bring the principles as Time To Think Facilitator to my Storytelling Workshops and Pitching Masterclasses, to insist on inclusivity, equality and appreciation of difference in all interactions, particularly when storylistening.
