How to navigate as a pioneer in the digital age? 🚀 "I believe intuition, emotional intelligence & imagination are the 3 most valuable (and underrated) skillsets to help leaders & teams thrive in this new era." However, the power of these skills is still unseen by leaders who are forcing themselves through the business world. ✔️TNW conference 2024! 2 days of connecting, joyful meetups with my old, new tech friends & new collabs. Although I had fun, I missed 🤸🏽♀️🎡creativity, art, 💃🏻music & immersive experiences around the playa. Only talking & listening is a simple way of receiving information. Within 3 weeks nobody remembers the info, only the feeling. Engaging the audience in an immersive & intriguing way can be an interesting topic for TNW 2025! 🐯Here are my 7 highlights: 1. INTERACTIVE. And the winner of the most inviting & fun area. Rapapa. Gapstars! I saw Hugo Hemmen David Jan Bijker Matthijs Wolf Joran de Vries shining by putting some fun in Tech! They threw in a roulette to help the visitors win! I won a delicious Pastel de Nata! 2. EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: Enliven Empathy. 1 of the first empathy training companies using AR&VR. Alex Tavassoli LUMO Labs. Last year I was part of the expert team creating concepts for the sexual harassment program. They took up little space but opened up my perspective big time. The feeling of this experience blew me away. 3. TRUST: Curious what Eliott Wertheimer VanMoof would share about the company's next steps? I was pleased to hear about trust. Integrating this inside the company culture first?!  4. INTUITION: I am proud to see former clients of my leadership program shine on stage Ingrid Tappin 🏳️🌈, DEI Techleap , Re-Humanise Katie Ireland 🏳️🌈 or being the backbone of an impactful organisation: Fleur Engelberts Startupbootcamp   5. FUN: I got a big smile while observing the panel with Adine Tjeenk Willink 🥊, Noa & Anke Huiskes about building new models of investing. I heard intuition, from imagination into action like Noa Khamallah shared. Yes! 6. ACTION: Robotics. Ahum.I was sitting here by “accident”. Great how Dennis van Kleef talked about the mind shift that still requires other ways of thinking and acting on it. Dennis also invited us to work more holistically. He is getting it! 7. FOLLOW: I met Martijn Lindeman, while hearing about Follow. Curious how this fresh concept healthily uplifts social media? Are you following him yet?:-) The Tech revolution is not only AI & “fixing” things through Tech Apps. It is about building solutions while bringing consciousness to the root cause of the challenge you/we are facing. Integrating a holistic regenerative approach helps flourish humanity with all life on this beautiful earth. If not? It is not sustainable. Let's put more love in Tech. ❤️ Mathys van Abbe Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten Sophie Op den Kamp Peter Keijzer Chang Choo Niels Sipkema Mark Tuitert Christina Caljé Marc Wesselink ★Rutger Kemper Michiel Haverlag
