Wat anderen zeggen over de keynotes

We received nothing but praise for Ann Wauters’ keynote. She gives a fascinating look into the world of top-level sports and translates those experiences into valuable lessons for executives and boards. After all, we all work with or in teams. Many of her ideas and suggestions will stay with us. And those who were there will not forget how she explained the true meaning of the word TEAM. Truly inspiring!

In an inspiring workshop, Ann effortlessly linked her rich career in sports to the business world. She moved beyond the classic keynote style and stepped into the role of mentor-coach, encouraging our team to build trust, enthusiasm, and even share personal stories. A short basketball coaching session by a WNBA champion and Olympian was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. She showed us what it takes to succeed as a team, and how to deal with setbacks and loss. Her practical tips, such as What Went Well and Next Play, are still remembered weeks later and continue to inspire us both at work and at home. A workshop I would highly recommend to any team facing big challenges.
