Change is like A journey

Change is like a journey, sometimes with a clear destination, sometimes its destination is unknown

What are your initial thoughts on the journey?
What kind of traveller are you?
Who are your travelling companions?
At what point during this journey will you have to step out of your comfort zone?
How do you want to come home?

Traveller or tourist?

What kind of traveller are you?

Adventurer

As an adventurer, I am eager to discover new destinations. I can think outside the box and love to go where no one has gone before.

Mountaineer

As a mountaineer, I am not looking for change without a purpose. I set clear goals, the journey is only a means to reach that one summit or unique place.

Group traveller

I like to travel in the company of people with whom I can share my experiences. Also, I am truly interested in the experience of my travel companions.

Cultural traveller

Superficial visits don’t do the trick for me. Before going somewhere, I want to take a deep dive into my destination.

Organisational Development

The strategy is often well thought out: where do we want to land? But tactics have also been taken into consideration:

The ‘tactical aspects’ of change, both in terms of insights and the right interventions, that is where we can have added value for you.

Teamontwikkeling & Coaching

Above all, team development should not be a normative process: we are not going to tell each other what we should and should not do. If you have to subordinate yourself to that, you will run away screaming or lose yourself in the process.

Don’t let the process become too soft either, it will make you lose sight of the objectives.
People will only invest in a team when their own identity is well-expressed.
If the possibilities and limitations are recognized, acknowledged and acted upon at the right time.
‘Highlighting’ those identities is our profession.

Leadership Development

By adapting yourself to your environment too much, you sometimes stray too far from your own personality. Back to your own nature, sometimes literally in nature.

Back to your authenticity, to who you want to be, to the question which footprint you want to leave behind on this planet.

To the value you want to add to your organization and your loved ones.

Keynote Speech

De reis van de Verandering - Ben Tomesen

During the presentation, I link my years of experience in Change Management with the adventurous journeys I embarked upon in over 80 countries. With the same flair and imagination that have accompanied me on my travels, I will take you on your own journey of change.

The purpose of my presentation is for me to stimulate you while on your own journey of change and increase your self-awareness.
Change starts with yourself; self-reflection and feedback are part of the process.
Share the different perspectives that everyone can have with regard to the upcoming journey of change.
Know your travel companions.

Testimonials

“Ben introduces you to the deeper drives that both you and your colleagues have in a very accessible way. A trajectory with Ben is both educational and challenging. Ben knows how to uncover tangible connections within a team, which can really be a benefit during daily practices. His humour and the sharp remarks make it incredibly fun, too!”

“As former mayor of Breda, I got to work with Ben Tomesen together with the College. With his extensive experience as organisational expert, he knows how to motivate and inspire us in a powerful way. His attitude and way of working are characterized by sturdiness, openness, and his approach forces you to really have a good look at yourself. And all of that with, when necessary, some humour. His way of working enables us to cooperate in a better way as a team and to formulate clear goals.”

“The meetings with Ben ‘built’ the team, are confronting, challenging and individually enriching. We draw back on them very often. The Insights Discovery profiles are of continuous worth. And, luckily, you can have a laugh with Ben as well! Not in the very least about yourself, by the way…”
