Een open gesprek voeren lijkt steeds moeilijker. De een noemt het ‘woke’, de ander ‘fascistisch’, en voor je het weet zijn we geen mensen meer, maar karikaturen van een standpunt.

Over the years, people have often called me a “story collector.” As a former journalist, I wear that title proudly. But beyond collecting stories, I’ve experienced firsthand what it means to feel excluded at work—and the profound impact that had on my sense of belonging and ability to contribute.

That experience led me to research belonging at work and discover what it takes to create environments where everyone feels safe, seen, and valued. Those insights have shaped my career and now, they shape this podcast.
