I'm happy to be part of BASE Conference 2026 in Amsterdam.

On Thursday afternoon, 29.10.2026 LaMatu will be running a session for founders and solopreneurs at the Social Impact Factory in Amsterdam.

This year’s theme is co-creation and we will look at how entrepreneurs, organisations, communities and partners can best work together to build stronger businesses, more relevant solutions, and healthier ecosystems. Less grinding alone and more building together. Because running a business doesn’t have to be a solo sport.

🎟️ Early bird pricing runs until 23:30 tonight!

⚽ Some venues bring the energy of buzzing with excitement before you even step inside — and the Johan Cruijff ArenA is definitely one of them!

Home to AFC Ajax and one of Amsterdam’s most iconic landmarks, it’s the perfect setting for the 2026 European edition of Digimarcon Europe organised by DigiMarCon.

I’m thrilled to be invited to deliver a keynote here for the third time! Being invited back as a conference speaker is the best kind of feedback — proof that the previous keynotes created real value and made a lasting impact on the audience.

LaMatu will be there again, and I can’t wait to connect, meet new people and soak up the energy.

More soon on my keynote topic: "The Attention Economy".

People Leaders’ Reset, Vol. 1 turned out to be exactly that: a quiet reset in nature.

At the end of a working day, I joined my peers from TruthWorks and People & Culture leaders for People Leaders’ Reset, Vol. 1 — a walk through the Amsterdamse Bos.

We were lucky to catch a few rays of Indian Summer sun. Instead of the usual office noise, the background volume came from birds, leaves, water and sounds of nature.

There was room for both lightness and depth: meaningful conversations flowed as we walked. It was energising and inspiring — and it genuinely felt like a reset. We ended the evening with a drink and laughter, playing Jenga with nachos.

This was Vol. 1 of the event series, but it was also a reminder that changing the volume and the environment can help us gain some fresh perspective. Stepping outside the usual office setting can make room for a more open dialogue and meaningful connection and help the conversations flow naturally.

When was the last time you invited a colleague or peer to take a conversation outside?

Thank you to TruthWorks and Avery for creating such a refreshing format — and to everyone who shared the walk & talk, and nachos.

Did you know that LaMatu offers Walk & Talk coaching conversations in Westerpark in Amsterdam? While most coaching trajectories nowadays are hybrid, this format is a fantastic way to combine coaching with movement outdoors. Are you intrigued? Reach out via TruthWorks!

Some invitations take us forward. Others bring us back to where the journey began.

Many years ago, I was a student at CEMS—curious about the world, uncertain about the future, and unaware of how many turns my career would eventually take.

Recently, I returned to that community as a guest of CEMS Club Rotterdam for an episode of the ConverCEMSions podcast.

Sitting in the podcast studio of Erasmus University Rotterdam with the CEMS students felt both joyful and quietly melancholic. I remembered the person I was then: moving between Warsaw, Barcelona and Düsseldorf, following my curiosity without knowing where it would take me.

It would lead to 16 years with international organisations. To leadership roles, difficult choices and an ever-growing fascination with how people develop. Eventually, it would lead me away from the predictable next promotion and towards founding LaMatu.

In our conversation, we spoke about female empowerment, gender equality, career transitions and the courage to choose the less path less travelled. We also spoke about self-fulfilling prophecies and the beliefs that quietly shape the realm of our possibilities.

If you do not apply for a position because you assume you will not be chosen, the probability of not getting the job is 100%.

So pay attention to your inner dialogue. Surround yourself with people who genuinely want you to succeed against all odds. Find your tribe—the people willing to challenge gravity alongside you.

Your future career is important, but don’t let it take over your whole life. So now and then ditch the books, live in the moment and live a little. If CEMS takes you to Esade, go and see FC Barcelona play with your friends even it means that you will need to live on bread and pasta for the next week. Create memories and make friends for

Thank you to CEMS for inviting me back and taking me on this trip down the memory lane.

My clients' privacy is something that I fiercely protect. Most people prefer to keep the fact that they are working with a coach to themselves. This one of the reasons why I cherish each and every of those reviews publicly posted on Google. To all of the amazing human beings who have chosen to be my clients over the years, your stories keep inspiring me to do my best work ✨
