Maximum participants: 30

What do enterprises like Coca Cola, Heineken, Nike, Philips, Volkswagen, Apple and Microsoft have in common? Different types of companies with different types of products and different types of employees, but with one thing in common: a strong brand.

Just as in enterprise or product branding, personal branding is all about defining how you want to be seen. This pressure-cooker workshop specifically targeting technical communicators can be the first step towards building up your own brand, taking control over how people perceive you, and taking steps to dramatically increase your professional network. You are in control!

Biografie

I always find it interesting to see how one small idea can have an impact beyond the expected technological advancements and efficiency improvements.  As an innovator and storyteller, I have been telling stories and pitching innovative solutions as long as I can remember. My main motivation – you could call it my purpose - has always been helping other people develop and grow, and I feel at my best when working on solutions that have a positive impact on people’s work and life.

By utilizing my storytelling, ideation and (technical) writing skills, I make sure there is the commitment from all key players in the organization to grow innovative ideas into solutions and transformations that bring real value to my clients, their customers, and their people. 

I help my clients in transforming their processes using state of the art technology and introducing innovations. By constantly challenging the status quo, I drive changes that have a real impact on people, processes and technology. As the European Technical Publication Services Lead for Accenture, I help my clients by managing the introduction of AI-driven solutions and managed services to transform and optimize their technical publication processes.
