Welcome to my website.
I document my adventures in work and life.
Hope you have a nice stay!
I love books! Novels, fiction, leadership, work-related. YES to all!
And when I love something, I like to share. On this page you'll find my recommendations.
Please let me know which books you think are must reads!
People & Culture
by Erin Meyer
'Ran' into this book at the airport on the day I published my blog about challenges that Dutchies face working in Germany. There is no such thing as coincidence :)

Strategy & Innovation
by Patrick van der Pijl
A book about design thinking and experimenting your way to validated new business opportunities. With a lead role for the famous double diamond and many suggestions for tools to use. Love the 'hands-on' style of this book. A must-have for every business designer.
Leadership
by Liz Wiseman
My favorite leadership book. A must read if you ask me. If every leader was a multiplier, the world would be a better place. Make sure you don't become a 'Diminisher' and read the book! Can't wait to find out in what you think.
Storytelling
by Chris Anderson
This book provides you with the basics to creating an inspiring story. Lots of great examples on what works and what doesn't from speakers Chris Anderson worked with.
Self-help
by Mark Manson
A refreshing book about choosing what not to care about. And more important what to care about and how to handle this. A rare find in the era of unicorns :) Mark Manson writes as he speaks and this makes it hard to stop reading!
