Change agent, disruptor, educator, coach, seasoned digital transformation leader, former executive, board member and founder of Adaptologie.
For the moment, I am the only human behind the brand.
I am no stranger to pivots, transitions and personal reinventions, as my Linkedin profile will attest to. My relationship to change started when I was 7 years old as I followed my parents from our native Belgium to Africa. Several decades, countries & professional pivots later, I am still a change enthusiast!
During the numerous COVID related lockdowns here in Hong Kong, I became progressively obsessed with a deceptively simple question: what could I do for the rest of my life, without any loss of enthusiasm?
My reflection consistently brought me back to 2 concepts:
The answer led to my boldest pivot to date - becoming an entrepreneur, intentionally crafting a portfolio career building on the skills I acquired over the last 3 decades in the corporate world.
I left my role as regional chief digital officer in financial services and retrained as a professional coach.
Retraining and starting up my first business during lockdown presented both challenges and opportunities. I experimented on ways to reach people who needed support and completed 500 hours of 1:1 coaching as well as over 125 hours of training in the space of a year. This led to my earning the International Coaching Federation’s Professional Certified Coach (ICF PCC) accreditation in 13 months (that’s very fast).
In parallel, I launched a new word and a new company, Adaptologie - the study of adaptability.
Different needs require a different solution, which is why Adaptologie currently offers 2 services: coaching and consulting.
