I am a senior communication advisor and trainer. I help organizations and companies in these domains:- Communication strategy- Crisis communication (crisis communication management and planning, emergency excercises)- Corporate identity (organizational values, mission and vision, tone of voice...)I have +30 years of professional experience in communication, both in the private and the public sector. Throughout my career I have been inspired and driven by communication. It is always the strategic aspects that fascinate me. With communication I want to initiate and support change. It is my belief that communication is never a goal on itself, but an important strategic asset to attain organizational goals. With my imagination and my sense for innovation I often bring in new ideas. These can make a difference. Faster than others I can identify which opportunities exist to solve problems or to improve existing situations. I also understand what it takes to implement them in a result-oriented way.I am permanently looking for ways to improve my knowledge and my understanding. For me it is of prime importance to be able to continue growing and developing.I love to guide and coach others. I generally like to take the lead. At the same time I am very receptive for contributions from others. I love to collaborate and to exchange ideas and experiences. In doing so I am transparent in what I tell and in what I do.Although the bigger picture matters a lot to me, recognition and appreciation for my efforts are an important driver. My main professional values are diversity, transparency, integrity, teamwork and social relevance.
