Our teamBettina Guirkinger
Over the past 10 years, Bettina has accumulated a range of diverse and enriching experiences in entrepreneurship and leadership which have led her to live and work in places as diverse as the UK, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Belgium and South Africa. What she learned led her to start "Explore Your Elements" in 2016 to provide effective and adaptable solutions to organisations seeking to boost collaboration, trust and fun in the workplace.
What makes Bettina unique as a trainer is her ability to connect with her participants on a human level, bringing practical tools and approaches to the topics explored and creating a safe space for everyone to raise their voice and take ownership of the training. Today Bettina and her team work in English, French and Spanish across Europe, South America and Southeast Asia and are eager to connect with you to co-create the working environment you are looking for. |

Thijs van Bemmel
|
If he can add an element of fun, Thijs is in his happy place. He quickly gets bored with traditional working methods and has been injecting some excitement to a vast range of contracted projects as a freelancer. The only thing that all his jobs have in common is that they contribute something good to the world.
After studying Development Economics, Thijs decided to put his energy into companies and organisations that connect with his values. The main ingredient that Thijs brings to every table is a -sometimes almost naïve- positive energy. And a weird obsession with semi-complicated excel sheets. Although he sometimes does not know precisely where his creativity takes him, it’s always been towards a better place. |
