Advancing Sustainability Education

Hi Everyone!

Making your gifts, your talents, work in service of our natural world, is my highest value. It’s a lifestyle I came to live, chasing a career in the “business jungle”. You have to do the conscious work on yourself, to understand what Ramm Dass intends to convey with “We’re all just walking each other home”.

My pathway took me to a deep immersion into mindful yoga, sound meditation and forest hiking, which I could seed into the learning journey at IB, and so, hopefully inspire this network. Many a student that joined, reflected that my 8 weeks of Blue Lotus Yoga strengthened their commitment and resilience for the challenging way of learning we offer.

I work as an inspirator/business coach at the International Business School Maastricht (IB), within the International domain of ZUYD University of Applied Sciences. The school had been developing a fully student led learning trajectory in project mode for their IB Bachelor, which I joined launching in full.

This job felt written all over me, I worked for 25 years in corporate business life as a changemaker in larger training projects all across the world. I often mentored younger colleagues with hearted fulfilment, so I felt joining IB as an opportunity out of thousand. Sustainability is a central principle in IB, in my chest beats a green nature loving heart, that resounds “We need to make a change in taking care of our world!”… for which I believe education will work the strongest.

I hold a MSc degree in Health Sciences, specialization in innovation and quality assurance of Medical Care at Maastricht University. During my work in international business projects, I completed a PhD degree at a personal private university, by realistic corporate business projects on change making and leadership; I can’t thank the people enough that supported me in this life changing learning journey, so I do every time I mention it, and I pass on the personable touch of learning in working at IB.

I am enthusiastic to see how all the seeds in this network are planted all over the globe map, how we share and inspire each other!
