OUR FACILITATORS
We are a network of highly experienced business professionals that merge futures thinking, leadership and personal development with strategic thinking to help people in organizations be futures ready and take action. Each of us has a specific expertise and based on the requirements of your organization and the practices that you would like to focus on, we further customize our programs with these facilitators.
We are inspired by Hermann Minkowski who was one of Albert Einstein’s teachers. This mirrors how we see our role: we are facilitators and enablers who can help you build better futures. Our ambition is to enable a million Einsteins to make history by changing the future, and in doing so, make the world a little better.
FACILITATING YOUR JOURNEY
Céline Janssen
Céline Janssen is an ‘Opera Innovator'. Through her work as an artist (opera soprano and theater maker) she is always looking for connection and interaction. At Minkowski, she strives to create experiences for everyone to feel like a member of an opera choir, a large orchestra, or as a conductor.
“Being a member of a choir or orchestra is about seeking harmony and harmonizing with each other, while being a conductor (the maestro) is about taking leadership. I love to help people orchestrate their own futures and find the balance between these two aspects!”
Charlotte van Veelen
Charlotte is an experience designer and program manager. She supports the lead facilitators of our programs in design and delivery and focuses on continuously improving the participants’ experience and learning journeys.
“It is amazing to see how driven people are to create better futures. With Minkowski, hopefully we give more people the ability to activate these motivations into driving the change they wish to see.”
Arjan Postma
At Minkowski Arjan designs and facilitates strategy sessions and leadership programs with a focus on Futures Studies, Unconventional Thinking & Breakthrough Strategies. He has a long history in helping organizations build actionable strategies and a thriving culture.
“The Minkowski family is for me a great partnership where we can all create more impact together, learn from the many disciplines available and all try to set each-other (and especially the client) up for success.”
Cathalijne Bol-Oudijk
Cathalijne is an experienced leadership development coach with an international business background. As an organisational psychologist she supports leaders and teams in driving change by exposing the human dynamics that drive or inhibit high performance.
"With Minkowski I help leaders and organizations transform mindsets and behaviors to create growth and become Future(s) Ready. I love how in our work strategic focus, creativity, organizational aspects and the psychological side of human motivation all come together.”
Alexandre Janssen
Alexandre has over fifteen years of experience in applying innovation within organizations; whether it is about the structure, the KPI’s, the process or the people and the cultural element. Alexandre co-founded Minkowski and works with the organization as a board member since 2018.
"At Minkowski, not only do I design and facilitate (online) sessions, I'm also there to ensure the organization is running smoothly. I work with our associates to provide a long-lasting impact for our clients."
Yvette Pasman
Yvette challenges people to connect their personal purpose to the people and the world around them. In our programs she designs strategic questions to get humanized and facilitates a space and energy that is required to move things forward together.
“Together with Minkowski we increase our impact force, co-create with the clients and get them ready for the futures. I like the personal touch we bring to the programs we design and facilitate.”
