    A bit late to the recap party, but what a conference TNW! It was amazing to get the opportunity to participate again this year and to take the pulse of Europe’s tech ecosystem. As a corporate professional, I love connecting with inspiring entrepreneurs and learn about their ambitions and support needed. It was also great to connect with Microsoft for Startups FoundersHub members and understand the supporting yet pivotal role the program plays in their growth strategy. Huge thanks to our colleague and amazing speaker Adir Ron for delivering such a powerful session: Stop Obsessing about AI models, the AI platform and Ecosystem Opportunity.Cyborg people, autonomous companies (fully run by AI) and the one and only Sophia Amoruso sharing her entrepreneurial journey, were some of my other highlights of this year’s TNW conference.#tnwconference

    My passion for workshop facilitation started almost six years ago when my former manager asked me to find a way to spark innovation within the team I was part of at that time. I will forever be grateful for that team's willingness and enthusiasm to test all the brainstorming and problem solving techniques I was coming up with (some more sucessful than others 😅).That was also the time I first (by chance) discovered the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® METHOD or in other others words, "how to solve some of the most complex problems of a business" or "an individual's existential problems" with LEGO bricks. ⏩Fast forward into the present - a couple of weeks ago I finally completed the facilitator training and I am now a certified LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® METHOD worshop designer and facilitator 🥳This workshop facilitation method has many different applications and some of my favorite ones are: ✅testing a new business strategy in a safe environment✅testing the impact of a particular event on a business ✅entrepreneurship & coachingOne other thing I love about this method is that it is hard to grasp how all these can be achieved through building with bricks. The truth is that this technique cannot really be explained, but it can be experienced. If you are curious to learn more about LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® METHOD, feel free to drop me a quick message. A BIG thanks to Robert Rasmussen for creating such a powerful, challenging and safe learning experience for me. #legoseriousplaymethod #businessstrategy

    When I first met Janet Bumpas and Michael D. from ScaleNL a year ago, I remember I was so inspired and impressed by the way their approach towards guiding some of the most innovative scale-ups in the Netherlands through a critical step in their evolution: US Expansion. Today, I am beyond excited to have both of them lead the Blueprints for Growth track during Microsoft's ScalingLab. During this session, we will do a deep-dive into US expansion startegies, product-led growth vs product operating mode and pricing optimization for B2B SaaS. [limited in-person spots available] Secure your spot for their session on the 6th of June here: https://aka.ms/scalinglab
