FocusAlles voor de wetenschap #5 Regie in eigen handenBriljant natuurkundige, zakenvrouw, oorlogsheldin, Caroline Bleeker (1897-1985) is het allemaal. Ondernemend en zelfbewust als ze is, richt ze na haar promotie een eigen bedrijf op: een fabriek voor wetenschappelijke instrumenten. In de jaren dertig groeit het uit tot een bloeiend bedrijf. Tijdens de oorlog wordt het een plek waar joodse onderduikers een veilig heenkomen vinden.
Jarenlang werkt Caroline Bleeker samen met de natuurkundige Frits Zernike en dat resulteert in een baanbrekende uitvinding: een microscoop waarmee voor het eerst het proces van celdeling kan worden bestudeerd. Hij krijgt er de Nobelprijs voor. Maar hoe groot is haar rol...2024-06-2346 min

Sustainable Change Makers#26 The Voice of Nature with Vincent Deinum (Shaman)What do Patagonia, YouBeDo and Squarewise have in common? Nature is part of the DNA of their organizations. Not only in their mission, vision and the way the act. Their entire organization is structured in innovative ways where nature (and employees) have a significant seat at the table. Why is this important? What can our organizations learn from them? How does this work? And what are the
first steps to take?
Vincent Deinum is working with organisations who are doing exactly this. In today’s podcast, he will share his insights and teach us what we can do...2024-04-2539 minSustainable Change Makers#25 The Power of Stories, Nynke's voice noteStories are much more effective than ideas to drive change, they are easier to remember and also more fun to listen to or to read.

Today, I will use storytelling to deep dive into several impactful business events that happened to me in the recent years and I connect them with some real powerful stories and books. One book in particular that really makes people shift their mindsets. 2024-04-2421 min

Sustainable Change Makers#20 Organize impactful sustainability events, Nynke's voice noteDo you know what it takes to set up a successful event?
Successful leaders and change makers continuously stay in sync with their eco-system to share ideas, be inspired and/or to co-create.

However not everyone enjoys organizing such events or is very good it. Do you know how to involve your audience, to inspire them, and to have them
actively participate at the same time?

As an executive or leader, stakeholders expect from you to take it on and make it happen. But becoming a true sustainable and futureproof organization is easier said than done. Sarah Valkering, partner at the Reputatiegroep acknowledges this and explains how organizations go through similar stages of maturity. In the first stages, they start with compliance & donating to charity, then sustainability becomes a task of the marketing department (here the greenwashing usually starts), after that sustainability becomes more of a strategic asset and, in the final stage, organizations use...2023-03-0935 min

In that case, your business is likely to severely harm biodiversity and indigenous people. Maybe even without you knowing about it.
If the amount of biodiversity and nature is reduced significantly, ultimately, we ruin our access to eco system services like food, water, fresh air, medicines and more.
