I have led creativity, innovation and training workshops with businesses, government agencies, non-profits and academics in Europe, America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Participants have included top management, senior management and specialists. I am the co-founder and co-manager of the Brussels Imagination Club, a group dedicated to experimentation in life-long learning and training. I am also the author of two books on creativity and innovation as well as a novel that critics have described as exceptionally creative.

In short, I know a lot about designing and running creative workshops. And I am looking forward to passing on that knowledge to you.
