How can we be the transformation that we need in our
world? I don’t have the answer yet but I have had many
adventures in my life exploring that question.
I feel most motivated in disruptive environments, where
people simply decide to take ownership and make the
impossible happen.
I am a professional hippie. A knomad who enjoys playful
challenges, oneness and collaboration.
What triggers me is discovering and experimenting with
new spaces and ways to live together and to collaborate.
Put me in self-organized and non-hierarchical processes
and I will flow. Let's find out that guarded place within us
and expand our impact and influence by bonding and
creating trust and harmony.
So who I am?
I am still figuring that out.
Our business world would classify me as graduate with a
Masters in Economics and International Business, an
executive coach, a self-employed business consultant and
co-founder of presente!
Not married but always in love.
Since my stay in Brazil, I have been meeting one ‘player’
after the other. Fairies, magicians, light workers, witches,
wizards, Vikings, they all showed up. They gave me
important hints. Some stayed, some disappeared. But all of
us have kept in touch.
And The Movement Was Born
The world has been transforming in a quick and dynamic
way so that we need to unlearn what we learned and
choose paths of whose existence we may not be aware
yet. We need to prepare ourselves for uncertainty of life and
a new era. We should not accept anything as status quo as
more and more often we will be forced into situations in
which we will have to create our own guidance and safety
within us. It depends on each one of us to create new
individual visions and take on personal leadership to carry
them out. It depends on us to be part of the shift.
At presente! we run a conscious leadership program
called Edu on Tour. We bring educators together with
specialists of other fields, social media, lawyers, artists,
social entrepreneurs and learn to collaborate. In regions
and countries that are totally unknown to us. It often
happens that we don’t speak the same language or
understand the street signs. In such moments we
experience creative problem-solving abilities first hand.
Based on conscious leadership and self-organization. In
such moments there is no pressure, no losing, no failure,
no winning, only room for forgiveness, innovation,
imagination and development. A new way of living, working
and learning. We start creating a new reality.
Last December after finishing the ‘Edu on Tour 2013:
Brazil’ – the outcome of my dream – I was sitting in the
bus to Bahia. The forest was flying by outside of the
window when all of a sudden I realized that my mission in
Brazil was over – after four years. The challenge that has
remained is to develop the movement presente! – in a
playful way. Effortless.

What is going on?
Join our next ‘Edu on Tour 2014: Israel’ from
October 12th to November 23rd in 2014 in Israel and
be part of a paradigm shifting initiative. Support
an international crew of changemakers that play
the education (r)evolution.
Edu on Tour is a self-organized, distributed
knomadic movement with the goal of building a
vibrant and disruptive community of education
activists and social entrepreneurs. Small crews of
young and conscious leaders travel through a
certain region or state visiting schools and
learning communities, interviewing change
makers and organizing events and gatherings. We
make the shift visible.
life design
presente!, is a movement that supports the shift in
education. Our intention is to create a collaborative
structure without hierarchy, or as we call it, hierarchy of the
moment. Our mission is to connect with the most powerful
creators of realities – our youth – with our current decision
makers. We connect the pioneers and early adapters.
Together we experience what skills we need to acquire for
the future in order to overcome obstacles that occur on the
way.
