Inspiration is the essence
I believe that positive – obviously ! – inspiration & noble purpose are the drivers for evolution, progress and success of each individual, collective, group and organization. Inspiration and noble purpose go hand in hand and reinforce each other. Inspiration and noble purpose guarantee to find the right balances between the personal, social and professional spheres in our Life, between the different interests of members of a group or team, between the different interests of all the stakeholders of an enterprise or any kind of organization. Inspiration is the essence of Humankind’s evolution. There is no creation, no innovation, no entrepreneurship, no art, no scientific invention, nor philosophy without inspiration. Through being genuinely inspired all human beings can become what they really are by finding answers to ‘Why do I live?’, ‘Why do I want to achieve what?’ and ‘What do I want to contribute?’
That inspiration, that energy needs to be nourished. Every day! By being connected with oneself, with the others and with Nature. Hence it’s essential to be aware what gives and what takes our energy. Understand which sources of inspirations propel our wellbeing.
The following concepts, objects, persons and places are some of my many sources of inspiration. They boost my energy and have a very specific meaning to me.

The book of Noble Purpose
Ask yourself this:
- Why do I do what I do?
- What does my organization stand for?
- What kind of organization would I like to lead?
65% of the active population in the world is not engaged in their job. Maybe you are one of them. Maybe you’re leading a team with that disengagement. Maybe both. The Book of Noble Purpose will help you discover the central force that drives engagement and hand you the necessary tools to incorporate it into your Life.
This book, inspired by my Life story and multiple business experiences, explains how we can create an economy and a society that have a positive view of Humankind and the world. A society in which ecology, humanism and economic prosperity go hand in hand as the basis for a sustainable future in which individuals can lead a Life that has and gives meaning.
An extensive explanation & more information on Noble Purpose can be found in my book ‘The Book of Noble Purpose’ (EAN: 9789401463720)

Wisdom Encounters
Wisdom Encounters is an annual, inspirational, upon invitation only gathering for high impact leaders who meet in an idyllic place for a three-day noble purpose, impact, and ego-less retreat.
It has a remarkable impact on participants through connecting with true potential and beauty. Through sharing collective wisdom about humanity, society, and the world in transformation. Through opening to other perspectives and learning from each other.
Participants experience the Wisdom Encounters retreats as fabulous moments of inspirational thinking and ideas sharing, as an uplifting break from very busy intense Lives, re-aligning mind, spirit, and body. They allow each one to return to the respective responsibilities with a boost of inspiration and increased clarity about noble purpose and how to serve ‘the world’ with even more courage and commitment.
Wisdom Encounters is progressively becoming a global community of collective wisdom and humanity, functioning as an international collegial network of inspirational and loving leaders from around the globe, who take concrete, engaging and solution-oriented actions that have positive sustainable impact on a large scale.
