There are speakers who excite and inspire you. And there are speakers who make you think in a way that you can no longer ignore. Jeroen Kraaijenbrink is the latter type.
After a career in science, five books on strategy, and twenty years working alongside CEOs across Europe, he knows one thing for sure: most organizations do not have the wrong plan. They struggle to be honest about what is really going on. Honest with themselves and honest with each other. Not because they don’t want to, but because we have collectively created a system where honesty no longer pays off. His mission is to change that. Without detours, but also without judgment.
This makes his presentation special. He is a seasoned strategy and leadership expert who does not hide his own blind spots. A strategist, but one who creates a room safe enough for people to say what they have been thinking for a long time but have not dared to say out loud. And a speaker who applies what he talks about and is not afraid to be honest about his own issues and setbacks. He even wrote a book about it: No More Bananas, a self-help book to keep your head cool amidst the madness around you.
The leaders and organizations that go the furthest are not those with the best strategy. They are the ones willing to see what they would rather not see.
His style is direct, down-to-earth, and warm, with a touch of self-deprecation. He makes complicated things understandable without oversimplifying them and addresses painful topics without softening them. And he only leaves when something has truly shifted, sometimes small, sometimes large.
Jeroen is available as a keynote speaker, but also for half-day or full-day masterclasses and longer programs for teams and organizations. He is a highly sought-after podcast guest worldwide and reaches over 300,000 followers on LinkedIn as one of the most read voices on strategy and leadership in Europe.
