Reorganization, new technology, a changing culture: change doesn’t have to be a burden.
Speaker Niek van den Adel shows teams how to go with the flow instead of resisting change, using
humor, his own experiences, and tools they can apply right away.
People don’t change just because it’s on a PowerPoint slide. They change when they feel why it matters and know what they can do themselves. That’s exactly where Niek van den Adel’s strength lies as a speaker on dealing with change.
Niek knows better than anyone what it’s like when your reality is turned upside down in an instant. He translates that into the
questions your people are grappling with right now: how do you deal with uncertainty, what’s within your control, and
how do you take ownership when not everything is certain?
Ideal for:
• Kick-offs for change initiatives and reorganizations
• Retreats, management team sessions, and leadership days
• Organizations where employees are change-fatigued
What it delivers: less resistance, more ownership, and a shared language
for discussing change.
“He demonstrates the power of vulnerability and makes you aware of your circle of influence when it comes to
change.” – Eric Barratt-Jones, ABN AMRO

How do you stay vital in a busy profession? This question was the focus of our Inspiration Days at Zorgspectrum Het Zand. Guest speaker Niek gave us great insights into this theme. From his personal experience and with a lot of passion and humor, he effortlessly took the audience along. The best effect? That colleagues regained control of their own lives...with a smile!

What a great inspiration presentation during our kick - off meeting in Amsterdam. 4 years ago I followed the first time your inspiring presentation. However yesterday you showed that you still grow. All our colleagues talked about during the breaks. Great to see you get our people moved to think about their own situation and motivate them to look from different points of view. Thank you so much Niek. Our next kickoff meeting will come for sure. Thanks again Cheers and please keep good care. People need you

Top! From Ondernemende Gasten, we organised and big event for 500 Pearle Studio employees on 28 March. This day was all about change and customer experience, among other things. Niek was the perfect speaker for these topics. An emotional story, with plenty of humour. The attendees were raving, and so were we at Ondernemende Gasten. (via Google)

My first encounter with Niek was four-and-a-half years ago during my work, where hospitality and genuine attention are paramount. It was a treat to welcome Niek! What enthusiasm and positivity. I have since read his book 'Crash' and had the opportunity to listen to his inspiring story in the audience. With humour captivated until the last minute and went home full of inspiration. Thank you Niek! (via Google)

On Thursday 29 September, we hosted Niek as a speaker at our headquarters in Zaandam. The content of his story as well as the way he tells it makes you listen breathlessly and forget the world around you completely for a moment. Some degree of self-reflection during and after his account is inescapable. Fascinating, inspiring and thickly rewarding! His story will undoubtedly loosen tongues and provide food for thought.
