Copenhagen Climate Summit COP15




Tomorrow I will coordinate Theme speeddating on the Beat the Heat train through the Netherlands for Politicians and Entrepreneurs. I have tried to base the approach on Integral methodology and use innovative facilitation techniques. This all on a riding train. So, i am very curious what will happen.

After that I'll go to Copenhagen myself to be in the city of the Climate Summit.
I am looking forward to meeting many inspiring people and get some change done.

Check out,

However, inspiring to see people experimenting with new solutions for society.

Workshops - I won't settle for less




For the last 6 years is has always been my passion to work on personal development and to try and find the most impactfull, fun, and succesfull transformational tools. I has brought me all over the world, and helped me set up my business Realize! with my 2 best friends over the last 3 years.

My aim has always been to first test everything on myself and once I feel I really have something good to share, to start providing the best of my explorations with the world. That process has started now, and it is my intent to develop these workshops, by continuously integrating feedback into the best workshops in the world. Why? because it is my passion!

I won't settle for less. Do you? :)

The Process of Transformation

AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE SHORT CHAPTERS
by Portia Nelson

I
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in.
I am lost … I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes me forever to find a way out.

II
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in the same place
but, it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

III
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in … it’s a habit.
my eyes are open
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

IV
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

V
I walk down another street.
