A year ago I sold my employment agency and decided to study cognitive behavioral therapy. This inspired me to develop a gap year program for the new generation: GenZ. A program that contributes to their personal development and gives them the opportunity to discover what drives them.
The obstacles I have overcome in my life have made me more resilient and resilient. I've noticed how certain life skills can enable you to achieve your goals more easily. It is precisely these skills that I want to teach young people. These are lessons that you don't learn in school, but that are essential for dealing with the challenges you encounter in your life.
With my new company Incredible Future we take young people to Curaçao for 19 weeks as part of their gap year, for a fully organized work-study program. In a completely new environment they work on their development through coaching and workshops. They get to know a different way of life, come into contact with new people and local projects, and immediately apply the newly acquired skills in their role as a recruiter. We will start with the first group in August of this year, I am really looking forward to that!
If I had to describe myself, I would say that I am loving. I am happiest when I spend time with the people I love. For example, I really enjoy traveling with my children; Hawaii is my favorite destination. It is such a beautiful island! The nature, the people, the pure way of life. You are always out there and that gives me so much energy!
Nelson Mandela is a great example for me. He has had such a tough life and yet remained so strong. The willpower he shows shows that you have the choice to make something of your life, to continue and fight for something. That is really a reminder for me in daily life.
