'How then? Then Do!" moves from inspiration to concrete action. This practical session shows why good intentions evaporate and provides powerful tools to move from intention to lasting behavior change.

"How? Just do it!" is a practical, energetic session that takes teams from inspiration to concrete action. Everyone wants to change, but why does it happen so rarely? The biggest obstacle often isn’t a lack of knowledge or intention, but actually taking that first step. This session emphasizes “doing” and shows why it’s still so hard to take that first step. Using smart strategies, we ensure that a relapse into “old” behavior is prevented. Everyone also literally takes Step 1. We provide tools to keep inspiration alive and prevent you from falling back into the daily grind after a day of inspiration. We explicitly shift the focus from “future goals” to “action and movement” in the here and now.

De Vrije Denkers (Arthur Kruisman and Patrick Donath) are the ultimate connectors of thought and action. After years of intrapreneurship within a large Dutch ICT company, they have focused entirely on inspiring organizations since 2016. Over the past few years, they have refined their approach through countless workshops with 5 to 1,500 participants for more than 200 organizations—ranging from government agencies to multinationals. With their energetic, interactive style, they immediately get participants moving without getting bogged down in analysis. Their six distinct storylines make them the ideal speakers for organizations that don’t want just another plan, but are finally looking for real action.

Why are the Free Thinkers always the right choice?
They effortlessly connect their philosophy to current topics such as psychological safety (by taking off masks and being authentic), technology & AI (by fostering curiosity and immediate action), personal leadership (through ownership and authenticity), sustainability (through small, immediately actionable steps), and diversity & inclusion (by breaking through the tyranny of “normal”).
