What to expect
The term "resilient leadership" seems to imply that a leader is meant to teach individual employees how to cope with change. A noble aspiration perhaps, but is that leader's only added value in the bigger picture?
In his inspiring and motivational keynotes, Niek answers the following questions:

How do you use your influence over yourself and your environment?
How do you hold yourself and your employees to your mission?
How do you create agile teams, where you act as an inspiration and booster?
What is needed from a leader in times before, during and after change?
How do you stay future-proof and own the future?

What is strong leadership? & How do you make the transformation?
Energy crisis, climate crisis, Ukraine crisis, food crisis ... we even have a reading crisis! We live in a time when change is no longer enough and a transformation of services or people is necessary. But how do you transform as people and organizations? How do you convey the right message? How do you deal with resistance, change fatigue and broaden our world view? As a leadership speaker, Niek adheres to the following wisdom: 'A resilient leader knows himself especially well. Only then his employees.'
Creating the right culture in an organization is central to agile organizations. An increasingly important topic for leaders and managers. How do you convey that message to your colleagues as effectively as possible? After all, as a leader, you are responsible for creating a culture that encourages everyone to see the importance of the customer. What should a leader do to establish, facilitate and encourage resilience in an organization?

The 4 basic needs
Leaders and manager are the true carriers of culture, especially in times of change and a healthy corporate culture is the recipe for a successful business. The four basic needs that apply here are trust, independence, meaning and results. If you have that mapped out, are you able to be of value to them all? How do you look beyond daily concerns and build a shared and meaningful future?

Dare to be vulnerable: That's leadership too!
So vital leadership is about how you can inspire people, but also how empathetic, with integrity, honest, positive and approachable you are. Be a team leader as well as a team player. You have a dual role, so to speak. As a leadership speaker, Niek believes it is extremely important that you also dare to be vulnerable at times of setbacks. Of course as a leader you have to show resilience, but vulnerability is also having the courage to show when you are not in control of the future.
With strong leadership, you dare to lead; you don't have to pretend you have all the answers. It's about being curious and asking the right questions. You don't see power as something to accumulate: you want to share your knowledge. You don't avoid difficult conversations and situations because you know that making yourself vulnerable is necessary from time to time. This courage becomes contagious to you because of this. You create a culture within your organization where we expect courageous work, difficult conversations and an open heart, and where a mask is neither necessary nor rewarded.
