ENTHUSIASM · ENGAGEMENT · ALIGNMENT
ABOUT HUMANIZING BUSINESS
Humanizing Business was founded by me, Nathalie Soeteman. With the aim of helping organizations and their relationships to achieve optimal business results from shared enthusiasm. Scientifically, it has been shown that together everything is more fun, and the results are better too!
There’s growing evidence that acting more human is directly linked to company performance. There is compelling evidence that companies that operate more human outperform those that don’t. (Weber, 2019)
Gladly I would help you to take full advantage of your Enthusiasm · Engagement · Alignment Returns. With interim management, consultancy, coaching, and training. From co-creation and dialogue to sustainable results!
With pleasure, I realize strategic communication, engagement and change programs, and interim management projects.
