As a Web 2.0 and social networking trainer, speaker and consultant with an international point of view, I am specialized in the areas of hospitality industry, collaborative, cooperative and uberization trends. Cross cultural aspects and digital identity related to Internet use are important issues I can help you with. Topics of conferences are digital hospitality, digital identities, web strategies and in cultural aspects of the Internet.Training is always a way of rediscovering the surrounding world in order to come to terms with it, especially with the digital - human aspects of it. Reviewing your own past means discovering new aspects that will allow you to affront the future with new ideas, perspectives and energy. After having trained hundreds of people in groups of individuals, I now concentrate on training and accompanying of teams, because internally shared knowledge and competencies are necessary to give businesses new perspectives in a rapidly digitalized environment. Actually writing a book on Digital Hospitality and another on Digital Transformations, I am also involved in a (personal) research into the vast subject of (The future of) Tourism and the Sharing Economy, in which I concentrate on Greeters - Ambassadors and AirBnb hosts and travelers. If teaching fine arts has taught me a great deal about perception and treatment of visual information, years of designing Web sites and printed matter have taught me to achieve an extensive know-how in realization of products that accomplish the client’s objectives. These experiences have been completed by four years of domain registration and hosting issues, providing a technical background for the actual Web 2.0 and social media training and consultancy services.I can teach and speak in Dutch, French and English.
