we humanize
your
work
We Humanize Work. Why? Because we all live in a world of accelerating change. This increasing complexity takes many forms. But here’s what they all have in common: people are needed in making sense of them.
To be adaptive and stay responsive, we are putting people at the center of everything you do. This allows everyone to make a passionate contribution to the challenges you face and to capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead.
We are a hodgepodge of rookie-minded people that Humanize Work. We run projects, fulfill roles and cause some good trouble to create environments in which people can work to their natural best. Using four connected perspectives that set each other in motion and in which each of our areas of expertise give substance to in their own, unique way.
Humanizing Work starts at the heart, by discovering the principles and values that speaks your truth. We invite you to identify your unique human-centric DNA. Embedding an all-aboard culture, with a shared passion and everybody in. As the solid foundation for realizing human potential and maximizing impact.
The next to do is embed these human-centric principles into your organizational design. We help you redesigning to people-centered structures, methods and practices; to support the path you want to take. Creating environments in which everybody has the space to express their voice and can work to their natural best.
After grasping the basic principles, and shifting into new formal structures, there is the need to align the mindset accordingly. We are developing the essential skills and practices to master these new rules of the game and cope with the changed dynamics. Always cultivating a continual self-renewal mindset, to stay ahead of the game and grow along the way.
Finally, you need to put your learnings into practice. We are guiding your people and their teams in the desired conscious behaviour. Emphasizing the new inclusive and interconnected way of working, as the final step towards an integrated solution.

Enthusing people about something, involving them in a story: that is my strength. Trust and good communication are crucial in this. If you put people first and listen carefully, you will achieve so much more!
When in doubt, I investigate. The best way to learn something new. That is also why The Rookie Minds appeals to me: you are challenged to always take a fresh look at a situation. With room for doubt and an eye for the people in the process.
I guide changes in organizations. I do this by moving together to achieve something new. That begins with a lot of talking, watching and and most importantly listening.
My favorite topic is therefore: Reflect on-the-go
Organizations are about people. I truly believe that attention, interaction, collaboration and the ‘why’ of what you are doing within your organization is a musthave, not a nice-to-have, if you want to be sustainably successful. If people are inspired and feel connected, results will come naturally.
To me Humanizing Work is about creating meaningful relationships. If we act more meaningful and human, we are able to create sustainable relationships and optimize the value creation of everybody involved.
Therefore, my favorite topic is: Conscious Contracting
The best compliment? If a client says to me: now I’ve found a legal professional who really understands my business. Then I know for sure that I have been curious enough. That emerges the true Rookie Mind in me!
At the Rookie Minds I find everything what makes me happy: energy, positivity and new perspectives. That experience from looking at things differently I want to give other people too. My goal is therefore to spread that specific rookie-experience as much as possible.
Everyone has to deal with a world that is constantly moving and changing. Relating to these dynamics is a creative journey.
My favorite topic is therefore: Design Thinking
Unleashing as much potential energy as possible in organizations, that is my ultimate goal. Remove all obstructive factors, so that people truly flourish and change from within will follow naturally.
I like to challenge organizations to look at their processes from a different perspective. Challenging them to seek improvement. It’s the dynamics of change that makes it worth while.
My motto is: don’t let rules, regulations or procedures get in the way of more meaningful things. I like driving human initiative and making impact.
Therefore, my favorite topic is: Always Simplify
My heart lies with structurally helping people and organizations. I do that while paying as much attention to business purposes, as to the people who are going to make it all happen. Fully convinced that standard solutions do not exist and that genuine results will only be achieved when talent gets to rein freely. And when people feel connected, both to the goal and to each other.
That’s what I love about The Rookie Minds: everything is possible. And we are always open to new initiatives and embrace everyone’s unique ideas and talents.
My favorite topic is therefore: StrenghtsFinder
It’s a lot of fun to shatter the stuffy hierarchy, to make people the heart and soul of everything you do and live your Rookie Mind.
My favorite topics are therefore: collective ownership and self-organization
At The Rookie Minds I have found the best of both worlds: I determine my own path, but I can always fall back on the knowledge and experience of my colleagues. Their entrepreneurial spirit and the stimulating environment keep me inspired.
A Rookie Mind is curious by nature, energetic and always full of ideas. And certainly a bit idealistic. C’est moi! Sit down with me and you will get insights you didn’t get before. Why? Because I always want to know what’s really going on.
I love to keep developing myself, both at work and in my private life. As everyone at The Rookie Minds.
At The Rookie Minds nobody tells me what to do, I am in charge of my own journey. I love working in dynamic environments that change constantly.
Hi curious one. Are you a legal disruptor, rebellious controller, human challenger or reinventing creator? Captivated by the rookie spirit? Trapped in the familiar hierarchical pyramid and the old school capitalism? If you don’t want settle for things as they are, we are looking for you!
