About Juri Hoedemakers
Juri Hoedemakers is an expert in the field of (self)reflection. In 2020 he won the thesis award at RSM Erasmus University with his thesis on the importance of the court jester for leaders and their modern organizations. He was the first to make a detailed and elaborate scientific connection between contemporary management and the court jester of the past.
He then wrote the book ‘Gezocht: Hofnar’ (Wanted: Court Jester) about this, which reached place 3 in the top 100 and was recently nominated as Management Book of the Year 2022. In addition, Juri has also been appointed expert blogger and radio columnist in the field of reflection (through the eyes of the court jester) at 'De Ondernemer/DPG Media' and is pursuing a PhD on the court jester at Erasmus University from September 2021. To top it off, he has actually been appointed to the official position of court jester at 'AFAS Software en Monta' for one day a week.
Juri has a Bachelor in Media & Entertainment Management, a Master's in Business Administration and a specialty in Management of Change. As a connector, coach and inspirer, he has a fascination for the triangle: executives - burnout/work happiness - (self) reflection. Juri lets entrepreneurs and executives learn from their own behavior in a humorous way so that they can increase the job satisfaction of themselves and their employees, but he also lets employees learn from their own behavior. This enables people to cooperate better and learn to look at situations just a little differently.
He combines scientific insights with practical examples he encounters in his unpaid auxiliary position as board advisor to 'Voedselbanken Nederland'. He is the youngest member ever admitted to CMC, a leading change management firm.
Juri is adept at giving master classes and lectures for companies, schools and politics. He lectures almost every week at companies and also speaks mostly at (digital) events.
Juri gives people a Reflection Experience. He immerses participants in the world of reflection. He holds up a mirror to them in a humorous way so that they get to know themselves better. Juri also lets you discover your blind spots so you can become the best version of yourself. And all that in a very fun, varied multitainment way.

"I have known James Dillon for several years and especially appreciate the contributions he made to the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs (FWE) in Paris.
As co-Chair of the FWE conference in Paris, "Invest in Successful Women Entrepreneurs," I asked James to be the final speaker at the event. He understood that he needed to be energetic at the end of a long day in order to keep the 100 multinational attendees interested and finish the conference on a high note. Emphasizing the purpose of the conference, bringing international investors to Paris to meet women entrepreneurs, he offered a powerful metaphor for the audience to keep in mind.
The public responded very positively to James's lively wrap-up session. It is without hesitation that I recommend James as a both a business speaker and facilitator."
