Ben Tiggelaar about Behavior Change
Martine taught us about learning from wildlife and provided reflection on teamwork, leadership and highlighted the importance of diversity.
"We, NIBC Bank’s Risk, Legal and Compliance departments, enjoyed an absolutely inspirational lecture by Martine Van Zijll Langhout during our annual off-site. She taught us about learning from wildlife and provided reflection on teamwork, leadership and highlighted the importance of diversity. But also, just as in nature – the importance of embracing elderly people as they have the knowledge and experience. In fact, we often behave like animals and move around in the ‘office jungle’ where we - just as animals do - are weighing and managing risks every day. To conclude, there is a lot that we can learn from wildlife, not only in our professional but also in our private lives. Many thanks Martine Van Zijll Langhout for your fantastic speech and inspiring us during our great off-site."
