hi, i am reBella – a catalyst for innovation

a catalyst for innovation

rebella simone van neerven intro

all too often organizations misunderstand the power of rebellious people — they see the trouble, not the possibilities. in fact, rebelliousness is a positive behavior trait, an act of courageous risk-taking. rebels are your ambassadors for innovation and change.

if you create the right environment for your rebels, magic happens. i have seen this over and over again; better bottom-line results and much happier and more motivated people at the same time.

my name is simone van neerven and i have a proven track record in unleashing rebel talent.
