Business gurus worldwide are struggling. The rate of change these days is so high that they can't make Powerpoints, Keynotes or write books fast enough to keep up. We went online and gathered some video snippets of speeches and presentations of different gurus to show you how much they are contradicting themselves.

When we are co-writing or optimizing speeches for team leaders and CEO's, one of the things we focus on is making sure the parts of gratitude actually hit their mark. It's a no brainer that you as a leader show gratitude and appreciation. Acknowledge the hard work and dedication of your team members, but just saying you are thankful or know they work hard, is often not enough.

Since the launch of the Stand Up to Stand Out book, expressing yourself in the most powerful way, the two most frequently asked questions we get are: Where can I buy the book? & How do you start writing a book, because I'm also thinking about it. The answer to the first question is here :) and to the second...

What we do, why we wrote the Stand Up to Stand Out book and why a big healthy company like Carglass believed in us from the start, is explained in this recent interview. A TV appearance that shines some light on who Stand Up Company is and what drives Natalie and Marnick to do what they do.

A great idea, talent, continued education, lack of procrastination, sweat, tears, a shabby office, 80 hours a week and a 25.000 euro loan from your distant uncle on your mothers' side, was what it took to give yourself a chance to become a successful entrepreneur. Thank god those days are over. Now all you need is a laptop, a beach and a free online seminar.

"Alrighty then... HR team what's the status on implementing the new corporate culture?" - Well, desktop wallpapers with our new non-unique values are fixed on people's computers, we have our mission printed on the reception desk, handed out a code of conduct with a great Shutterstock image of people from different nationalities on the cover and....we ordered pizza's. - "Ok team, I think we are pretty much done here..."

Money. No matter what the guru's or life coaches say, money is your first concern when starting your own business. You want it, you need it and you don't have it :) In the academic world, professors call this, a 'problem'. I come from an awesome lifestyle and just finished my first week as a full independent worker. Boy did I get confronted with reality...

Belgians are beer drinking, chocolate eating, too down to earth for there own good, compromisers. That live next to Dutch trailer pulling, cheap, orange, cheese eating, tulip lovers :) Or at least that is what the stereotypes say ;) I'm a Belgian and have spend the last two years traveling between Brussels and Amsterdam. The two questions I get the most is: "How long did you drive?" and "Do you see a difference between Belgian and Dutch people?"
