"Leadership is to sense and to actualize emerging realities”
Joseph Jaworski
In my job, I coach boards of directors, managers and their management teams in realizing their ambitions. I’m excited when I can help individuals and organizations realize their (sometimes hidden) potential. For the client, I’m usually a sounding board and coach. Customer feedback suggests that I can effectively guide change programmes ‘with an unseen hand’.

CV: Advising and Developing
After graduating in psychology, I have been a partner, consultant and facilitator at CORDES since 1992. Having led the consultancy for several years, I have now returned my attention to the latest developments in the field. I acquired most of my experience in the private sector but recently I have been spending more time on healthcare and international joint ventures. The complexity of the work appeals to me.
Private life: To be one with the water and the wind
I’ve been sailing races all my life. On a few occasions, I actually succeeded in predicting the direction of the wind, which gave me the world title in the Flying Dutchman class. Since then, I’ve been striving for moments of ‘Presence’: being one with your surroundings and sensing what the future will bring.
