a catalyst for innovation

all too often organisations misunderstand the power of rebellious people — they see the trouble, not the possibilities. in fact, rebelliousness is a positive behaviour 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 motivated people at the same time.
my name is simone van neerven and i have a proven track record in unleashing rebel talent.
