A quiet mind - finding freedom to be YOU
During this immersive session at Guidance, we delved into a transformative perspective on releasing inner resistance and uncovering true inner freedom. We also explored an approach centered on cultivating a quiet mind, guiding participants through self-inquiry techniques and mindfulness practices that fostered deep stillness. Through guided meditations and open dialogues, we discovered practical ways to gently let go of mental clutter and reconnect with our authentic selves.
The training proved highly successful: participants reported a noticeable improvement in their overall well-being immediately after the session and again at their two-month check-in. This experience offered everyone an opportunity to embrace calm, clarity, and a profound sense of peace in everyday life.

Participants will be introduced to HarmonySphere, a groundbreaking platform designed to connect neurodivergent individuals with forward-thinking organizations. By exploring real-world challenges and solutions, this session will provide actionable insights on how companies can build more inclusive environments that empower all employees to thrive.
Learn how inclusivity can become a competitive advantage, gain insights into building a supportive environment, and discover why neurodiversity is the secret ingredient to thriving in today's dynamic business landscape. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for fostering innovation and inclusivity, transforming their organizations into leaders in diversity-driven success.
The Inclusivity Revolution: Unlocking the power of different minds
In this presentation, I explore why inclusivity can no longer remain an abstract goal—it’s a practical need for organizations that want to thrive. Over the past year and a half, I’ve developed HarmonySphere, a prototype that bridges the gap between neurodivergent individuals and workplaces. It’s more than a job platform—it’s a space for recognition, support, and practical inclusion.
So far, HarmonySphere has helped place 10 neurodivergent professionals in roles where their talents finally fit. From an engineer leading backend architecture after years of failed interviews, to a creative thinker revitalizing a museum’s content team—each story shows what happens when different forms of normal is seen as potential instead of a problem.
During this session, I coined the term “Holistically Normal”—a redefinition of what normal means. Which requires the understanding that normal isn’t a single line we all have to walk, but a living ecosystem of different minds and rhythms that coexist. Inclusivity, in its truest form, is about weaving all those versions of normal together into something that works for everyone. Both in the work environment and in our daily life.

WITness succes 2025
This course teaches you how to redefine success on your own terms by aligning your life and career with your personal values, purpose, and passions. Through storytelling, vision crafting, and interactive exercises, you'll gain clarity, confidence, and actionable strategies to create a life that truly feeds your soul.
What if everything you thought you knew about success is wrong?
Because many people chase success based on a checklist: the next promotion, a higher salary, an impressive achievement. But what if success isn’t about ticking boxes, but about creating a life and career that truly align with who you are?
Often times, self-development is seen as "extra" or "more", more skills, more achievements, extra knowledge etc. But what if all those additions are mostly just noise? What if, by collecting more and more, you actually drift further away from yourself? Maybe it’s time to try the opposite: stripping back to the essence. (And no, you don’t have to literally take off your clothes!)
This workshop invites you to let go of everything unnecessary. To slow down, to pause and reflect on what truly feels right for you, and to give yourself the space to feel what truly matters in your life.
You don’t need to add anything, improve anything, or prove anything. You are good enough to simply be who you are!
In this workshop I will help you (re-)discover:
✔ Your core values and how to align them with your work and life.
✔ A sense of clarity and direction about what truly fits you.
✔ Practical steps to move forward, even when things feel uncertain.
There is no step-by-step plan for success, no checklists to tick off, no promises of a spectacular new life. What you will find is space. Space to breathe, to feel, to discover and to be you.
A space to return to yourself.
So in the end, only one question remains:
Do you dare to become less?
