< back Stop Convincing How you help customers and consumers to adopt sustainable choices More detailed information Sustainability communication is failing. Governments and companies focus almost exclusively on why and not how. Those who really want to take stakeholders to a sustainable future must focus on how. In this keynote Wannes shows how 7 punishing tactics from marketing and behavioral economics can make all the difference. Request a quote Submit About As marketeers we influence the choices people make. In these times of massive pollution, climate destress and biodiversity loss this is a huge responsability. Every campaign we make is a statement for the society we choose. One with plastic waste and animal suffering or one with florishing wildlife and breathable clean air. However, we need big strong companies and brands to make a sustainable lifestyle easier. And so I am fascinated by whatever works to make our planet healthier and our people happier. I like to advocat people that annoy us, brands that have smart solutions and methods that ease the transition to a sustainable society that gets everyone on board.

< back H2H Communication: “Human to Human" Re-examine how we communicate and use the power of our humanity to form a connection. More detailed information Communication, in the end, is one human speaking and listening to another human; whether this is done on a massive scale across digital channels or in a small room on-site. As the post-pandemic world rebuilds itself and shapes a new path forward, we need to re-examine how we communicate and use the power of our humanity to form a connection. Our human ability to be the signal amidst the noise of our current media landscape of pseudo- and hyper-connected social media. Communicating Diversity: Today we need to clearly signal our seriousness about diversity, inclusion and belonging to an ever-wider group of people. Visual communication is the key to speaking to us all; universally understood content that is highly effective and fits our new, digital context in our hybrid, remote world. Lessons from Mythology As our world becomes ever more complicated and our way of life more fragile, we need the skills of the ancient Storyteller and the tools of the Epic and metaphor to deliver us the information we need to survive as a tribe, and to inspire, to align and to remind us of who we are. In this strange, post-pandemic moment in our histories, it’s important to understand that we are deep in an unfolding Epic of our own. Creating a Conversation Good communication is iterative; there is messaging and then there is the equal but opposite reaction from the audience. Whether it’s a talk at a bar with an old friend or a keynote speech, building in listening channels keep your audience engaged and involved in the topic.

Once we learn how to speak this strange, new language, we examine the very Human function of HR and pull the tasks, roles and overarching mission apart into its AI and Human domains.

< back Tap into your resilience with Spanish Flamenco Exciting Spanish music style as powerful elixir of life More detailed information Captivated by the glowing energy of Spanish flamenco, Luna resolutely turns her past of grief and loss into a path of life in which joy and passion are central. For Luna, the meaning of life is the meaning in life, and flamenco song and dance prove to be pre-eminently suitable to experience this joy in an intense way. An (inter)active inspiration session by Luna goes off the beaten track and aims to make participants feel what they may already know but have not felt for a long time. Who are you as an individual? Where do you want to go and why? What gets your blood flowing? In her lectures and workshops, Luna challenges to reflect on what inspires each person, from an invitation to get moving and (re)take control of their own life. Luna's lectures, workshops and inspiration sessions can also be booked with live accompaniment by a flamenco guitarist, which makes her penetrating message even more tangible. The impact of Luna's singing and performance, together with the live guitar playing, add a powerful deeper layer to the experience of spectators/participants. Request a quote Submit About Luna Zegers is the only non-Spaniard in the world with a cum laude conservatory degree in flamenco singing under her belt: a unique achievement. She also graduated summa cum laude in jazz singing from the Conservatory of Amsterdam. At a young age, she lost both her parents and only sister. After tough years, marked by grief and a search for meaning, she develops a strong will to survive and a zest for life. She becomes the first musician to major in both jazz singing and flamenco singing, studies with only Spaniards at the prestigious ESMUC conservatory in Barcelona, and writes all the music and lyrics for her graduation performance. She is also writing the book "SOLO," about her grieving processes and her experiences as an outsider in the exciting world of Spanish flamenco. The power of Luna's oeuvre shows itself in the various creative forms in which she transforms her troubles: moving music, fascinating stories and a meaningful book, with which she expresses her grief and the processing thereof.
