A Space for Reflection

Here, others share their experiences of working with me. True learning happens when we see through each other's eyes, and I'm grateful for the voices that help shape my journey.

I worked closely with Gonnie when I was Chair of the World Benchmarking Alliance. She was the inspirational figure both as a leader and as a colleague to all those involved with the organisation, including myself. She radiates love from her heart.

Gonnie works tirelessly to understand and truly see people, teams, and organisations. Her deep thinking and skills shape relationships and systems. With both courage and compassion, she creates safety while stretching your thinking, feeling, and being. Gonnie isn’t afraid of impossible missions—she trusts in her ability to collaborate and keep moving forward. Determined yet flexible, she won’t offer easy answers, but she’ll guide you in the right direction.
— Anne Owen, Leadership and Team Coaching
Drawing from my extensive experience in the business world, Gonnie stands out as someone uniquely able to bridge the invisible, natural world (alchemy) with the practical, corporate world, creating a consciously functioning ecosystem. She understands that these two worlds are simply two sides of the same coin, enabling abundance and simplicity, efficiency and humanity, matter and soul to seamlessly come together.

Gonnie is notably a highly intelligent and capable person. However, what sets her apart is her deeply intuitive, insightful and connected nature - a great supplement to her capability to execute. Being exceptional at multiple dimensions of leadership is indeed rare.
