Change Your Mindset, Change Your Business

Join us for a dynamic and energising evening hosted collaboratively by Professional Women International, the Freelance Business Community, and international keynote speaker Cyriel Kortleven.
A pragmatic and inspiring keynote to accelerate behaviour change in your organisation In today’s fast-changing environment, one thing remains constant: organisations don’t change—people do. But influencing behaviour, building engagement, and creating momentum for change is easier said than done. Many change initiatives fail not because of bad intentions, but because they’re too complex, too abstract, or simply too overwhelming.
YESSS! is a powerful keynote designed to tackle that challenge head-on. With a blend of behavioural science, creative thinking, and a touch of humour, this session empowers leaders, HR professionals, and internal communication experts to guide people through change in a way that feels simple, human, and effective.
Rather than overwhelming people with top-down plans, YESSS! focuses on how to:
spark a shift in mindset,
translate strategy into daily behaviours, and
build the energy and ownership needed to make change stick.
The session is interactive, engaging and refreshingly down-to-earth. It’s packed with vivid metaphors, practical tools and real-world examples that speak directly to professionals working on transformation, culture change, or leadership development.
Whether you're preparing for a new strategy roll-out, culture shift, or behavioural change program, this keynote delivers the mindset and method to make change work in your context.
