June 27: Tax opportunities for startups and scale-ups together with BDO Nederland at Noviotech Campus. We will address the following with Bernard de Vree: - What are the advantages and disadvantages of different business structures?  - How to gain and maintain control over complex issues with conflicting interests? A great tool for this is the Innovation Control Framework developed by BDO. What if an investor approaches you, will they participate in the entire company or just a part of it? How does that work? And what is their role? What if you need extra help, do you hire employees or work with freelancers? And last but not least: what are the tax consequences of an exit and what is being sold or not sold?

In a world where so much feels beyond our control—especially in times of political change and societal uncertainty—finding alignment within ourselves becomes even more essential. While we cannot control others' behaviors and decisions at large, one powerful way to start finding internal alignment is by looking honestly at where we are today. By simply writing down a list of 10 areas of your life, rating each from 1 to 10 (10 being most aligned and 1 being least aligned), we can build awareness around both what we appreciate and where we feel off course.   This exercise isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about the small, actionable steps (creating new habits) we can take to create peace and fulfillment in our lives, regardless of external factors. The goal is to identify where you’re already aligned and appreciate those areas, then look at the areas where you feel a gap. Think of it as “start small, think big.” By taking small steps, even if that means adjusting your daily habits, we can work towards a bigger vision for our lives without getting overwhelmed.   For example, if you rate your health a 5, ask yourself, "What’s one small thing I can do to bring that up a notch?" Or if your relationships are an 8, recognize and appreciate the value in that area. Awareness through this kind of self-assessment allows us to see where we might begin to create new habits, creating a sense of empowerment over our lives, no matter what’s happening outside of us.   In the face of global uncertainty, we can’t always change the behaviors of others, but we can always choose how we respond, align our actions with our values, and nurture our own inner peace. This simple list can remind us that change starts within, and even the smallest steps can lead us toward a greater sense of fulfillment and purpose.   Let this practice be a tool for reconnecting with yourself, appreciating where you are, and taking those first small steps towards where you want to be. Remember that this is a process, and it’s okay that it takes time. The important thing is to acknowledge the steps, even the small ones, towards alignment and fulfillment.

🌟 Transformative Coaching Experience 🌟 I am thrilled to share this heartfelt testimonial from one of my recent coachees, which highlights the power of a single coaching session. 💬✨ A female Director. "My first session with Stefan was not what I expected. It surpassed every idea I had on what coaching should be. We immediately engaged in a warm and open conversation that felt natural and trusting. Stefan made me feel listened to, valued, and respected. I left feeling calm, warm, and motivated to change." Many people believe that coaching takes time to yield results, but I’m starting to challenge this notion. That’s why I've begun asking my coachees for feedback after our first, 3rd and 9th meeting—to shine a light on the immediate impact coaching can have! It's not just about the tools and strategies we work on together; it's about building a relationship of trust and support from the very start. I’m grateful for the opportunity to guide others in their journey, and I’m excited about what’s to come in our future sessions. Thank you for your trust, and here’s to more breakthroughs! 🚀💪 Stefan PS - Would you like to feel calm? #Coaching #Transformation #ClientTestimonials #PersonalGrowth

Hey entrepreneur! Did you know that a solid financial plan helps you gain better insights into the future of your business? 💡 A financial plan consists of three main elements: 1️⃣ P&L: A projection of revenue, costs, and profit. 2️⃣ Balance sheet: An overview of assets and liabilities. 3️⃣ Cash flow statement: A detailed overview of incoming and outgoing euros. Together, these components provide a clear picture of how your business may evolve and what’s needed for its growth. A professional financial plan is crucial for building trust with investors. A professional financial plan starts by defining your strategy and helps estimate the necessary funding. It’s an essential tool to fully understand and unlock the potential of your business. 💼 We can assist you in creating a professional financial plan. Plus, as a registered service provider, you can benefit from the 'KMO-portefeuille', allowing you to access a valuable subsidy. 💡 Feel free to contact us at www.cfo-as-a-service.be for more information! #financialplan #cashflow #investors #strategy #CFOasAService

🏑 From Polkadots to Penalty Shots (and Planes)! 🏑 We’re not just spreading risk across Spain, the Netherlands, and Dubai – we’re also spreading cheer as proud sponsors of the Fletiomare Girls U12 hockey team (rocking their polka-dotted socks 🧦) and the Kampong Gents 1st Team (no polka dots, just goals!). 🎯 Oh, and if you spot the company logo on the Kampong shirts, that’s one of our very own concepts – part of the group! 🙌 You’ll see it in action starting this Sunday as Kampong faces off against Klein Zwitserland. 🏑 Currently cheering from Dubai (with sand between our toes), but catch us tomorrow flying off to Spain. 🌍✈️ Who says spreading risk and managing real estate can’t be a globe-trotting adventure? Our website? Still a “work-in-progress” (kinda like our jetlag recovery 😴), but between closing deals, boarding planes, and cheering from the sidelines, we’ll get there. Eventually. Until then, whether it’s real estate, risk management, or really good hockey, we’ve got you covered. And if you spot us at the games, come say hi – we’ll be the ones juggling phones, laptops, and pom-poms. 🖥️🎉 📢 By the way, Spain and Dubai are full of exciting opportunities right now – whether you’re investing in real estate or looking to minimize risk, there’s never been a better time to talk! #HockeySponsors #RealEstateAndRisk #PolkadotsAndPenaltyShots #DubaiToSpain #TooBusyWinning #OpportunitiesInSpain #OpportunitiesInDubai #Kampong

Feeding the Positive Wolf: A Strategy for Sustainable Success in Corporate Coaching. A column by Ellen Jansen 📚In the world of Corporate Business Coaching, the story of the two wolves—a Cherokee tale—serves as a powerful tool. This story teaches that within us all, one wolf represents positivity, strength, and success, while the other symbolizes negativity, pessimism, and failure. Which wolf wins? "The one you feed," says the old Cherokee man. In my coaching practice, we focus on nourishing the positive, proactive wolf using specific tools and techniques: 1️⃣ Goal-Oriented Questions: We help clients define clear goals and actionable steps, feeding the positive wolf with direction and motivation. 2️⃣ Positive Reinforcement: Celebrating successes, big or small, strengthens the positive wolf by fostering a sense of accomplishment. 3️⃣ Simplifying Processes: By creating clear distinctions and simplifying mental processes, we stimulate the active part of the brain. This helps clients focus and make better decisions, thereby feeding the positive wolf. 4️⃣ Reflection and Self-Awareness: Clients learn to observe their thoughts and behaviors, increasing awareness and consciously choosing the positive wolf. 5️⃣ Accountability Structures: Regular progress reports keep clients motivated and focused, preventing the negative wolf from gaining ground. ✅ Our aim is to make feeding the positive wolf an automatic process, integrated into daily routines. This approach helps clients not only overcome challenges but also continuously grow and excel in their business environment. Corporate Business Coaching transforms thinking and behavior, ensuring the positive wolf prevails and fostering a culture of ongoing improvement and success. ❓So, which wolf will you choose to feed today? The answer could shape your path to success. #coach #business #leadership #authentic #DEI #column

Today it is even more clear than when I wrote this book 8 years ago: Positive change is more likely to come from businesses than from governments. Now we need to understand 'how' business can become instruments for societal change.

📚𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬. I recently discovered the book "𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬" 𝐛𝐲 Katja Schipperheijn. It is a great book, packed with powerful insights on how we can reimagine learning to drive engagement, growth, and impact. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐩 3 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬, 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞: 1️⃣  𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. Inclusive learning environments foster real engagement. 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚’𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆. 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 (not from the book but relevant to this point): Google’s approach to inclusive learning through “g2g” (Googlers-to-Googlers) sessions, where employees teach each other new skills in an open, supportive environment, helping to make knowledge sharing a core part of the culture. 2️⃣ 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞. A standout idea is the alignment of learning goals with organizational and societal impact. 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒂 𝒑𝒖𝒓𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒅𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒕𝒉, 𝒊𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒂 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆. 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 (real-life example to showcase this idea): Unilever’s “Future Fit” program empowers employees to upskill in sustainable business practices, aligning personal development with the company’s mission for sustainable growth, making each person’s contribution feel purposeful. 3️⃣ 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Digital tools are transforming how we learn and connect. 𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒏𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆, 𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒙𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒍𝒍. 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: (real-life case to support this point) Microsoft Teams and Slack aren’t just for communication; they’re vital learning tools. Employees can join channels focused on specific skills, share resources, and even join live workshops, creating a continuous, collaborative learning ecosystem. If you want to foster learning culture in your organisation that is adaptable, inclusive, and purpose-driven, "Learning Ecosystems" is a must-read! 📚 #KatjaSchipperheijn #LearningEcosystems #GrowthMindset #InclusiveLearning #FutureOfLearning #LeadershipDevelopment *** I am Olga NAERT, I guide and help people to find their professional purpose and get unstuck in their career.

How have small changes made a big impact in your organization? Small does not mean slow. They allow for quick implementation and immediate feedback. By focusing on manageable adjustments, teams can test and refine their approaches without getting bogged down by complexity. This leads to faster improvements and builds momentum. Small steps can quickly add up to noteworthy progress, making the overall process more efficient and effective. #OrganizationImprovement #Efficiency #Effectiveness #SmallChangesBigImpact

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆—𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱—𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲? Last weekend, I took my first step with the Strozzi Institute for Somatics to deepen my journey into somatic practice—an approach that incorporates the body as a gateway to personal transformation and leadership development. Thank you Margriet Drew-Stoeten Elisabeth Weingraber - Pircher Alison Joslyn, MBA, PCC Małgorzata Czerwiec-Ibrom for being with me on this journey. I’m excited to bring these practices into my programs and coaching, helping leaders tap into the deeper wisdom within so they can more quickly and fully embody what leadership truly looks and feels like for them. What is your body telling you right now? Is it calm, tense, energized, or perhaps overwhelmed? Often, we don’t realize how much our body carries—emotions, experiences, and unspoken truths that shape how we show up, connect, and lead. Yet, what’s in the body shapes how we show up, how we connect, and how we lead. Try this practice: • Take a moment to tune in. Place your hand on your heart or stomach, close your eyes, and feel what’s present without judgment. • Notice your breath—does it come easily or with resistance? Is there space or tightness in your chest, shoulders, or jaw? • As you breathe, ask yourself: 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚? 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙨 𝙢𝙮 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣? Start there. Embodiment isn’t about getting it right; it’s about listening deeply and letting awareness ripple into each interaction. Curious? I’d love to hear what you discover when you take a few breaths and check in. #leadershiptransformation #personaltransformation #leadershipdevelopment
