"If you are looking for a strong female role model who can inspire men and women to become the best they can be in their careers, you are in for a treat with Liesbeth!"
"When I got my end-of-year feedback -'You come with very creative ideas and are so much more connected to the outside world than we are'- I had to smile. All credits to you, Liesbeth."
"Too many priorities, not enough focus… Liesbeth trained our teams on how to do strategic thinking and planning in the IKEA Way: not over intellectualizing things, sharp, innovative, result-driven, and leaving no one behind. She pushed us to get past our blind spots and to work with an outside perspective. She helped them to do more than they thought they could ever do, they are proud and accountable for making it happen now. "
"Coaching by Liesbeth is the best gift you can give yourself. She puts things in perspective, helps you grow and in the end that is what makes you more confident as a leader."
"Putting people and trust first, building it from a solid business "Why": Liesbeth inspired with a call to action for each in our own leadership. A great experience I can only recommend."
"We used Liesbeth's expertise to build a D&I business case. She introduced us to crowdsource with virtual discussions - via Synthetron - with men and women from our sites in Australia, South Africa, Canada, China and HQ in London to reveal the biggest barriers for change. This was new and very successful with great eye openers and workable output that is now being worked with worldwide."
"Your line of thinking undermines ‘the classics’ and mirrors reality so well. Your perspectives come from a completely new angle than the view of companies who handle HR the classical way. One big eye-opener was the underleveraged role of middle management. You are standing out with your experience, Liesbeth!"
"Partnering with Liesbeth helps you get the best out of yourself, your business, your teams and leaders in creating the day after tomorrow. She brings a fresh breeze of thinking, positive and inspirational, there is this Scandinavian touch in it, human and result-driven."
"We had no idea how stress affects our creative thinking until we listened to your keynote 'Don’t sleep with the boss.' Your personal story made it strong. Your professional story & hands-on tips helped us to change. Our eyes are wide open now."
"Liesbeth has a personal and profound message to share. She’s giving you all her hard-fought secrets, screwups and relatable stories. She’s remarkable on the topic of gender, the Scandinavian way of leading, setting up for innovative culture. She will not only inspire your audience to change, but she’ll also teach them how."
