Holistic Business University

Founder of Holistic Business University

If your business suffers from poor execution and has trapped itself in a “business as usual” mentality, then a Holistic Enterprise is the game-changer for you. Most enterprises experience mediocre business performance where each function is focused on their own priorities, without seeing the business end-to-end. The value creation for the customer and the bottom line gets lost.

The Holistic Enterprise© is a game-changer for every business owner, CEO, and their teams, enabling the enterprise to manage the growth by involving the customers, suppliers, technology into a daily business routine.​

I am on a mission to reach over 1M leaders by 2027, and inspire them to co-create business ecosystems beyond ego-growth and silos, that are aligned with the impact and soul, even when their teams grow from 50 to 50,000 people.

I am powerless over other people’s execution rhythm.

There’s a moment in entrepreneurship, leadership and life that no one prepared me for.

It’s the quiet, internal unraveling when we realize execution is taking too loooong.

You see your team isn’t moving fast enough.
You think that you’re losing control.
You become desperate and extremely judgmental trying to find the magic 🪄

I’ve been there. More times than I care to admit.

And every time I lost patience, every time I started believing that everything took too long, I learned something profound: I wasn’t grasping the full context.

Because while I’m sitting here as demanding Queen in my own isolated cubicle, here’s what’s actually happening:

🐌 One person is waiting on feedback from another department for 3 days.
🐢 Another just got pulled into an urgent client call—everything else is paused.
🐌 Someone’s stuck because the system crashed and IT hasn’t responded yet.
🐢 The new hire doesn’t have access to the tools he needs and still waiting on approvals.
🐌 Critical engineer is in back-to-back meetings until 6 PM reworking customer mistakes in technical drawings.
😷 Key account team brought Covid from the last business trip and are sick.
👨‍💼 CEO brings another BIG vision on the table while we all 🐌🐌🐌🐢🐢🐢 are still executing the backlog of the previous strategy backlog😁.

Meanwhile, I’m wondering why execution is “taking so long.”

That’s when I put on my blue uniform and go to the source—whether it’s lifting a hammer on the floor or deep diving into the information flow.

Because context is king.
It whispers every day. 
It’s your system’s voice.

When you listen to the system rather than judge the people, something profound happens: you begin to glue the disconnected parts together.

My impatience pushed me to go see 👀 and explore the system, not the people.

And here’s what I discovered:

I can’t control other people’s execution rhythm. 

But I can see the system. And when we as leaders remove what’s in the way—the bottlenecks, the unclear priorities from our siloed KPIs, the missing tools, the scope creep—execution transforms.

Not because we pushed harder.

Because we removed what was slowing everyone down.

The moment I stopped trying to control people’s rhythm and started exploring the system instead, everything changed.

What if you released the need to control other people’s rhythm and explored the system instead?

P.S. The 🐌🐌🐌🐢🐢🐢 aren’t slow. The system is.

The future of work is built, not just talked about. For years, I’ve been in the trenches, building case studies from within organizations by flattening hierarchies, eliminating siloed KPIs, and weaving purpose, profit, and soul into the very fabric of how work gets done.

This isn’t about following a manual. It’s about seeing the system, being swollen by its complexity, understanding the connections, and intuitively knowing how to create harmony. 

It’s a way of working that can’t be taught in a seminar.

That’s why I’m excited to be at the Corporate Rebels Summit in Barcelona this week. It’s a gathering of System Chief Unblockers — the ones who are connecting people, customers and suppliers, purpose, profit and planet to work around one table.

Looking forward to connecting with my tribe, especially with Pim de Morree, Frederic Laloux, Joost Minnaar, Lina Šleinotaitė-Kalėdė, Cristina Riesen🚀🤘
