Theory U for Middle School Teachers and Students
Today I had a meeting with 20 teachers who practiced the U-dialogue with their students the past year. APS (consultancy specialized in schools) facilitated them and gave short training programs during the year.

The Power of Nature
Last Friday we met with the organizers of ‘Crossing the Tipping Point 2′ at the Posbank near Rheden. We discussed the location for our next conference, decided that 100.000 euro is too much money for Malcolm Gladwell and that we’re not going to invite him and experimented with wandering in nature. Natuurmonumenten Gelderland offered us [...]
The Guest House, by Rumi
One of the beautiful poems of Jelaluddin Rumi (1207-1273) translated by Coleman Barks (from: Rumi, the Book of Love). There is no room in my book for it anymore but it reflects the essence beautifully: invite all emotions in, and stay with them until the meaning will reveal themselves. Do it light heartedly and with [...]
Dutch Humor
Hans Wijers said goodbye from AKZO with a short video. Last week we watched it in a leadership program for managers from all over the world to express what we, Dutch, think is funny.

St. Matthew Passion by the Dutch Bach Choir
Yesterday Inger and Stefan invited me to join them to the St. Matthew Passion of Bach. It’s a tradition in the Netherlands to go there the days before Eastern. It’s about the crucifixion of Christ. It was beautiful. The choir is one of the best in the world and they played with the Royal Dutch [...]
Training for Sailing
And it’s not April Fool’s Day! Maybe it is, but still we’re going to train at Loosdrecht. Must be a first in 10 years for me. 8 degrees Celsius, 10 knots of wind: reliving the old days. Boat is already out of the shed [...]
