Time to Energize

How to thrive with more energy

More detailed information

In her keynote Time to Energize, based on her book The Ideal Day, Carolien explores the science behind stress and how sleep, exercise, nutrition, and authentic connection can significantly boost energy levels. This inspiring session not only motivates individuals but also empowers entire teams to take meaningful action.


We are not designed to focus for eight hours straight, endure back-to-back meetings, sit all day, or constantly snack. Yet, modern work environments often push us into these unhealthy patterns. When stress builds up and our bodies can’t activate the natural fight-or-flight response, we become stuck in chronic stress cycles. Carolien explains why controlling the controllables is key and how simple adjustments in sleep, movement, and nutrition can help you align with your biological needs—leading to more energy, resilience, and productivity.


Beyond physical well-being, Time to Energize also highlights the critical role of human connection. Research shows that loneliness is one of the biggest risk factors for premature death, creating a vicious cycle of inactivity, poor sleep, unhealthy eating, and increased stress. By fostering authentic connection in a psychologically safe environment, teams can break this cycle and thrive. Carolien introduces powerful strategies like black box thinking and embracing failure to build stronger, more engaged teams.


This keynote starts with a personal reflection on energy levels before diving into the hidden mechanisms that sabotage change. Expect brain-friendly, science-backed solutions that help you recharge—both physically and mentally. Packed with practical tips, Time to Energize offers a roadmap to sustainable well-being, helping you and your team perform at your best.
