OWN YOUR STORY

We create our stories, and then the stories create us.

If you think about it, everything is a story: your childhood, your career, the organization you built, and maybe even your investment fund. Every meaningfull series of actions will be shared as a story. Though, the question is: what narrative do you want to leave behind?

Most leaders would argue that it is about heritage. They hope to hand down a legacy that younger generations will thank them for.

As a keynote speaker, I inspire large audiences to get a grip on our future narrative. As a coach, I help organizations to catch, craft, share, and live their own stories, supported by my own program “the magic of storytelling”.

Storytelling has the power and magic to bend our reality and reframe challenges into possibilities. We create our stories, and then the stories create us.

About me:

• From advertising to sustainable branding and business innovation, I have over 25 years of experience helping organizations craft their narratives and contribute to a future-proof society.
• I do this through keynotes, workshops, and my in-depth coaching programs “the Magic of Storytelling”.
• I have written three books packed with inspiration on how to contribute to a unifying future: “We, Myself & AI” (Lannoo, 2018), “Pretopia” (Lannoo Campus, 2022), and “Provotyping the Future” (Lannoo Campus, 2024).
• As programmer and curator of the Love Tomorrow team, we create a massive future-positive conference for more than 5,500 people (Summer 2024) at the Tomorrowland festival grounds.
• I’m driven by the belief that the transition to a sustainable society is the boldest adventure of our time. Therefore, I want to liberate sustainability from dry reports and technical jargon and bring it home, where it belongs: it’s about unlocking new possibilities for innovation and change.
