About
& Bio
Hi there, I am Elke, entrepreneurial connector and change maker at heart.
Every day, I try to bring people closer to each other to build strong relationships through my positive energy, emotional intelligence, open-mindedness and can do mentality.
In all my projects, I make sure all stakeholders are aligned on where we want to go, which dream we want to pursue and what success means.
Engagement and encouragement is my way of reaching impact as a change maker.
WHO IS
Elke Jeurissen
My solutions for inclusive leadership are based on best practices around the globe and the real life experience of hundreds of leaders. I support companies in Dutch, French and English and I am a life long learner.
I am co-author of the book 'Who run the world, the power of female leadership' , an co-author of a book about stakeholder engagement nominated as best management book of the year (Vreemdgaan voor Managers). I also frequently share my expertise in different media.
I have been a community builder for over 15 years, am Co-Founder of 72Hours Reload (international retreats for leading women), Founder of Straffe madammen and of Third Quarter Rocks (navigating midlife in a positive way. I am also Projectmanager of Dasgeniaal*CestGénial (inspiring girls for STEM) and Expertendatabank (making more diverse experts visible in the media).
Puzzled by how we can connect across our differences, I made the Dutch podcast 'Bindstof' I questioned people on how they focus on what connects them instead of what divides them.
Throughout my professional career in stakeholder engagement, corporate communications, public relations and public affairs, I had the pleasure to work with many leaders in the political, media, academic and business arena. I shared my vision on more than 160 conference stages.
