Being human begins by being consciously present with what is truly there.

For my farewell at Inholland, three podcasts were recorded. One of them focused on authentic leadership and education.

From Compass-ion we now organise a live online session on this topic. We will explore personal develop...

Healthcare is constantly evolving.

One of the most significant changes concerns how we deliver care. Increasingly, care is shifting from in-person encounters to online or hybrid forms. This brings both opportunities and challenges.

For some, digital care feels like a helpful addition; for others, ...

Good relationships form the basis for learning, collaboration and living together. In every context. At home, in organisations, in teams, in education and in professional interaction. The quality of our contact determines the space for growth, understanding and development.

Authentic leadership is the search for the best version of yourself in relation to this world. Not as an idealized image, but in concrete action, in the work you do, in the relationships you maintain, and the choices you make.

This requires inquiry in your own practice. That is why twice a year a s...

Authentiek leiderschap gaat voor mij over de zoektocht naar de beste versie van jezelf, in relatie tot deze wereld. Niet als ideaalbeeld, maar in het concreet handelen, in het werk dat je doet, in de relaties die je onderhoudt en de keuzes die je maakt.

Dit vraagt om onderzoek in de eigen prakti...

Societal change requires inner development, because structures can only shift when the people within them are able to carry that change from within.

This third session focuses on the Inner Development Goals (IDGs). We will explore how the IDGs can support work on themes such as poverty, housing ...

In every human system of relationships – whether a partnership, friendship, family, team or organisation – patterns emerge that develop only slowly over time. On the surface, much may seem to change, yet underlying behaviour often ...

In september organiseerden we vanuit Compass-ion een leiderschapsprogramma in Ourém, Portugal. In een inspirerende omgeving werkten we rond de thema’s ik, ik en de ander, ik en de groep en ik en de wereld.

We werkten intensief in een kleine, betrokken groep van tien mensen. Centraal stond ieders pe...

Compassion is not an emotion but a conscious attitude — being close without becoming entangled, acting without trying to rescue.

It connects awareness with purposeful action, involvement with boundaries, and thus forms a moral compass that preserves humanity in turbulent...

Good education stands or falls with good relationships. Ultimately, a learning environment arises through contact, between teachers and students, within classrooms, but also in collaboration among colleagues and between teachers and education managers. All these relati...

A doctor discusses with a nurse what needs to be done for a patient, while two others are waiting in the hallway and numerous protocols need to be followed.

The nurse tries to express her concerns, but her concern goes unheard.

Or think of the patient who keeps asking for more than is feasible—not...

Every implementation team operates within a broader organizational context, shaped by both visible and invisible, hard and soft factors. Some aspects fall within the team’s direct sphere of influence, while others depend on senior management and support departments. The success of a project is signi...
