How to be prepared for the unexpected?
The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted that the world we are living in is far more volatile than many imagined, wanted or could believe. Suddenly billions of people around the globe are under lockdown, and millions of businesses are closed. Others like the first-line health workers, pharmacists and people at working in grocery stores are putting their lives at risk to combat this invisible enemy or provide the necessary means so others can wait out the storm.
There is no denying it, we are living in uncertain times, a time where the world has changed overnight, and business as usual is not usual any more, Whatever we thought of the future it will never be the same again. Uncertainty about the future results in stress and anxiety. Stress and anxiety caused by uncertainty can in turn lead to physical and mental health problems. They can also lead to spiritual health problems like loss of direction and meaning in life and in worse case scenario's suicide.
How can you help?
The future is about change, but I believe you can make the future that little bit more predictable, secure and hopeful for so many others by sharing your story, ideas and insights. Many people need new insights, inspiration, role models and leadership to evolve in these exponential changing times. In other words they need you.
Let’s start sharing our stories and help people to turn insights gained into actionable plans - personal visions from which they can futurize themselves.
So please join me and accept my invitation and together we will make a difference.

ORGANISATION
For the smooth running of the interview
- A couple of days before the interview we schedule a 30 minute prep call (to go through the questions)
- The interview will be done with Zoom and the actual recorded part shouldn't be longer than 30-minutes. As WIFI connections sometimes break-up I would like to ask that you record the interview at your end too via Quick Time Player, with your phone or another device.
- For the recording make sure you look your best, meaning think of yourself your background, lighting and also that during the 30 minutes there won't be any disruptions that could have been prevented.

The future is about change, and because change is unpredictable you can explore the future
to make it that little bit more predictable.
