About Stefaan Vandist

In these turbulent times where the restoration of our broken connection with nature, society, and ourselves is paramount, there is a glaring lack of imagination. We find that the current stories no longer suffice to create a hopeful (let alone exciting) future. The world cries out for a new, grand story to believe in. In his new book, Provotyping, there's both a call to action around the power of Storytelling and the "What if" methodology to not settle for a supporting role but to claim the lead role in a future-inspired narrative made visible and tangible in four steps. Discover these short and powerful moments of inspiration.

About Siviglia Berto

Siviglia shows you how your business can win with "People Sustainability." In recent years, there has been a significant shift in the workplace. Link sustainability to well-being and transition from the old normal to the new sublime! When you think about creating a future-oriented workplace, it helps to consider the sustainability of you as an entrepreneur and your employees.

Increasingly, we see that employers, their stakeholders – including employees – and policymakers no longer view well-being and profit as communicating vessels but as sustainable, complementary forces. Employee well-being becomes a strategic priority and core of the sustainable business model. Siviglia provides impactful tips on sustainable entrepreneurship and explains that entrepreneurship also involves vulnerability and well-being.
