I SPEAK ABOUT ALL THINGS PURPOSEFUL DOING.
I’m interested in bridging the gap between business and everything that feels good, so I speak about it passionately and in English, Spanish and German.
My work usually entails helping high profile leadership teams conquer “soft” topics like purpose and how individual, team and organisational purpose go together. I’m also frequently hired to speak on feminine leadership (not just from a gender perspective), the purpose diagram and how to transform performance-driven cultures into human-driven ones.
YOU CAN WAKE ME UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO TALK ABOUT THESE
Expert topics
Purpose.
I believe in bringing purpose into the most corporate environments imaginable, where it’s needed most. For that to happen, we need a corporate-compatible language and tangible tools that lead to results. I love selling seemingly soft and nice-to-have topics in ways that inspire change.
Feminine Leadership.
I am a big supporter of female entrepreneurship and I happen to be in a female body, which leads to all sorts of awkward questions after every single leadership training I lead. I happily rant on what I think a lot of organisations are doing wrong and what feminine leadership looks like if we put the gender piece aside for a minute (without discounting it).
Bullsh*t Transformation.
I’m happy to say it as it is: business is full of bullsht! (I realise the irony in not writing it out - if Google didn’t punish me for it I would.) I’ve worked with the Bullsh*t Monster method since 2012 and it’s very popular whenever a breath of fresh air and business as unusual are needed.
Bringing Humanity into Work.
I believe work should be joy-drenched and I believe that we can start by actively bringing more humanity into stern business environments, measure the seemingly unmeasurable (vibes? energetic equity) and encourage frolic without fearing that our business will turn into one giant party that won’t get anything done. (It will.)
BLUSHABLES
“I love Anaïs’ sunny personality and easy-going nature! She gives lively, informative and engaging workshops and people love her.”
— Lynne Marks, President London Image Institute
“I have not yet experienced a person that moderates as enjoyably as Anaïs did. I attribute this to the seemingly honest way she acts, talks, listens and guides.”
— Mariëlle van Kooten, Founder SciSwipe
“We have been working with Anaïs for the past three years. Her contribution has had a massive impact on the quality of our event. As the moderator of the Falling Walls Lab Finale, she sets the tone of the event for 100 finalists from all over the world, making sure that each of their 3-minute presentations throughout the day is perfectly timed, and the large audience, including a high-level jury, feels well taken care of. Anaïs succeeds at creating a warm and welcoming environment for all guests, giving each presenter the same level of attention, thus holding the energy in the room throughout the entire day. Her input during the preparation of the event is invaluable, and if you are looking for a highly professional, experienced, and purpose-driven trainer, leadership coach or moderator, you will find no one better for the job.”
— Lisa Kohler, Project Lead Falling Walls Lab
