NEVER FORGET:

A good idea without an effective plan is called: ART.
A strategy without an extraordinary idea is called: AVERAGE.
An extraordinary idea + strategy is called: UNFORGETTABLE.

Some call this ‘the NGO Whisper Program’, and I feel grateful for that pet name. BRAVE CHANGEMAKERS helps you make a difference in many people’s lives. This method has empowered CEOs, entrepreneurs, church ministers, experience experts, and organizations who want their business to contribute to a better, more resilient and fair society. It helped me contribute to new legislation for orphans in the Netherlands in the Dutch Civil Code, which positively impacts the lives of many young bereaved.

The Creative Achiever Method is THE roadmap that helped me create online courses, write and publish 3 books, build websites, prepare my TEDx talk, start an NGO, and many projects more. It’s possible to complete projects with impact, quickly.

This method stems from the insight that creativity, resilience, purpose and radical empathy are intertwined. Think about it: if you want to create something new or improved, you have to overcome hurdles and unexpected challenges. Just like you have to do when you’re facing hardship. It just FEELS differently.

I lived this story myself after losing my parents whe I was fourteen years old. I needed to find creative solutions for challenges I hadn’t asked for. I managed, and I discovered many years later that I had cracked the code of becoming resilient…by using my creativity. You can do this, too. in 90 days, if you like.

RESILIENCE RESET EXPERIENCE

BEING A PROTAGONIST ON YOUR PURPOSEFUL MISSION, YOU’RE OFTEN DEAING WITH INEVITABLE CHALLENGES. GREAT LEADERS AND BRAVE CHANGEMAKERS KNOW THEY DON’T HAVE TO GO AT IT ALONE. IT TAKES RESILIENCE. RESILIENCE IS ONE OF THE MOST CRUCIAL SKILLS YOU’LL EVER LEARN IN LIFE AND WORK. FIND UNCONVENTIONAL SOLUTIONS...WHEN LIFE HAPPENS WHILE YOU WERE BUSY MAKING OTHER PLANS.

The first thing that usually goes down the drain in stressful times, is creativity. In stressful times, our brain focuses on survival, and operates in fight, flight, freeze or fawn mode. Which is no bueno, because creativity is key to finding useful solutions. The Resilience Reset workshop evolved from my own experience being an orphan. It took HEAPS of creative resilience to build a better life for myself. You can learn this skill. Use it to up your game in your creative projects. Master this skill, be free, and make a difference.

RADICAL EMPATHY WORKSHOP

BEING A CHANGEMAKER WITH A PURPOSEFUL MISSION ALSO MEANS BEING ABLE TO EMPATHIZE WITH THE PEOPLE YOU’RE TRYING TO MOBILIZE. IN THIS RADICAL EMPATHY WORKSHOP, YOU AND YOUR TEAM MEMBERS EXPERIENCE THE MEANING AND BENEFITS OF THIS FIRST HAND.

When we’re called to make a change, we try to think about the exact benefits for or target groups. But sometimes it isn’t that easy to empathize, and we need to listen and experience what our target group actually is experiencing. In this workshop, you get the opportunity to experience just that, and to enhance your project with the knowledge and insights this has provided you with. It’s personal, it’s engaging, and your team will have a deeper connection and a bigger, more focused purposeful impact while pursuing your mission.
