Personal Leadership, Behavior & Connection | Author ‘Know Me?’
Personal leadership where behavior no longer works. Hélène Oosterhuis touches the layer beneath the surface in teams, leadership, and collaboration – confrontationally gentle, practical, and directly applicable for organizations in transition.
Our consultants would be happy to advise you on how best to tailor the narrative to your specific target audience.
Hélène Oosterhuis is a speaker and behavior expert in personal leadership, author of the book ‘Know Me? The Power of Successfully Being Yourself’ and she was named Speaker of the Year. In her lectures, she makes visible what lies beneath behavior in collaboration, change, and leadership within organizations.
With her distinctive combination of sharpness, warmth, and Rotterdam straightforwardness, she makes complex human dynamics understandable, recognizable, and directly applicable for leaders, professionals, and teams. Not standard inspiration, but lectures that touch, open up, and set in motion.
In her work, the central question is: who do you want to be, what do you show, and what lies beneath the surface? From her vision on identity, maturity, and alignment (Dare4), she helps organizations and teams not only to think differently but also to act differently in practice.
During her lectures, Hélène works with her characteristic Suitcase Method: an interactive and symbolic approach using a mirror, envelope, and other powerful objects that make behavior, patterns, and choices visible and discussable. This ensures recognition, depth, and lasting impact in the room.
Hélène speaks for executives, management teams, professionals, and organizations in transition within sectors such as healthcare, education, government, and business. Her lectures are interactive, deepening, and practical, resulting in increased awareness, ownership, and sustainable behavioral change.
About taking control over behaviour, choices, and responsibility in work and life. For leaders and professionals who want to work from identity instead of learned behaviour, with direct applicability in collaboration, communication, and change.
For leaders, management teams, and organisations dealing with change, resistance, and tensions in collaboration. This lecture reveals what is happening beneath the surface and how mature leadership ensures movement, clarity, and ownership.
About connection with yourself, with colleagues, and with the organisation. In a time of hybrid working, different generations, and continuous change, real connection is under pressure. Hélène reveals what strengthens or hinders connection in the workplace and how teams sustainably collaborate from trust, maturity, and clarity.
