Keynote talks
Great keynote talks are all about sharing positive energy. Something to learn, something to share and something to laugh out loud about. Those are three key ingredients in all my keynotes and workshops. Just pick your preferred topic in the list below. Every session is tailored to your audience and goals, in English, Dutch or French, live or online. 180+ keynotes and workshops delivered.
INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP IN THE AGE OF AI
Belief, belonging and contribution
Inclusive leadership is the skill that makes diversity work. As AI changes how we work, the human side of leadership matters more than ever: what makes people feel they belong, and want to contribute? As copycat teams become diverse teams, group dynamics change, and leading them takes time, effort and sustained attention. This keynote makes it concrete: leadership is about daily behaviour, and the best leaders become community builders. Let me show you how to fix the culture, not the people.
YOU ARE NOT THE NORM
Working together across our differences
Super diversity is the norm in society, and everything that happens in society also happens at work: four generations, introverts and extraverts, different backgrounds and expertise, analytic and creative minds.... Every human being thinks they are the norm. It's the basic blind spot that blocks us from working together across our differences. This all-employee keynote starts from a simple idea. Diversity is having a seat at the table. Inclusion is having a voice. Belonging is having that voice heard. Only when we feel we belong can we develop our full potential. I will show you just how to do that on a daily basis.
FROM AGE TO LEVELS OF WISDOM
navigate your 50+ workforce to their highest potential
Never before have so many people worked in the third quarter of their life, roughly from 50 to 75. In Belgium, the employment rate of 55 to 64-year-olds rose from 26.3% in 2000 to 61.5% in 2025. What if we look at this group as full of potential? What is the best is yet to come? This keynote shifts the view from age to levels of wisdom: more self-knowledge and resilience, more experience to share, more capacity to coach others. As AI takes over tasks, those human skills become more valuable, not less.
THE LEAST INTERESTING THING ABOUT ME,
IS THAT I AM A WOMAN
How to develop the full potential of all women in your organisation
What holds women back at work, and what can leaders and organisations do about it? Lessons learned from building a 5000+ women's network and organising 20 retreats for women in leadership. Available as a keynote or a series of 3 in-company workshops. For management teams, leadership development programs or women's networks.
10 SECRETS TO A WORKPLACE OF BELONGING
Stimulating everyday inclusive behaviour across your organisation
Maybe you are at the start of your journey. Maybe your trainings had little effect, your DEI strategy looks great on paper but changes little in everyday behaviour, you face growing resistance, or your diversity target moved from 2025 to 2030. Wherever you are today, an inclusive workplace is a marathon, not a sprint. After 10 years of practice, I have learned a few things from those companies that create a true culture of belonging. In this keynote I share ten lessons from ten years of practice.
