KEYNOTES

Energising, interactive keynotes on inclusive leadership, women in leadership and building communities at work. For conferences, leadership events, kick-offs and International Women's Day. Part of 180+ keynotes and workshops delivered, in three languages. 

MASTERCLASS INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP

Practical in-company sessions where managers and teams practise inclusive behaviour and leave with concrete actions. Ideal as a follow-up to a keynote or as part of a leadership programme.

INCLUSION SCAN

A clear picture of where your organisation stands on inclusion today, and where to focus next, covering five levers of an inclusive workplace: recruitment, talent management, everyday behaviour, inclusive leadership, and storytelling and perception.  15+ scans completed. 

For HR and L&D leaders who want inclusion to show in daily behaviour

You already believe in diversity and inclusion. The challenge is making it real: in how managers lead, how teams meet and how talent moves up. I work with mid-sized and large organisations and multinationals, in Belgium and abroad.

  • How do we get our managers to lead more inclusively, day to day?

  • Where do we really stand on inclusion, beyond our policies?

  • How do we develop the full potential of women in our organisation?

  • How do we make generations work well together?

  • How do we inspire our leadership team at its next offsite?

"Once again very inspiring. After her first webinar on inclusive leadership, Elke's second webinar on age as levels of wisdom offered our clients (HR managers) valuable insights and made them reflect on how to keep employees motivated in the third quarter of their careers. Our 100+ participants gave unanimous positive feedback.

Elke supported us to identify our strategic priorities for a more inclusive company culture at the Port of Antwerp Bruges. By building a strong analytical business case together for the management team, it allowed us to integrate the topic into our broader company strategy.

We received tremendous positive feedback after Elke's kickoff keynote talk at our mentoring program for young women. It was a wonderful mix of inspiration and actionable, hands on tips for both mentors and mentees. In a nutshell: authentic, vulnerable and honest, without being polarising.
