My analytical ability? I use that to oversee situations and issues. Whether it’s social processes or change processes, I quickly grasp the bottlenecks and potential solutions. 

I get that overview not only thanks to my rational brain. I can sense people and situations very clearly. Proactively I know how to anticipate and connect with different people in a natural way. 

When the situation is clear and the connections are made, I know how to get the people around me to move in a creative way. Open-minded and curious, I come up with ideas and tools to move in the right direction together. 

Once everyone has the goal in mind, the gentle connector in me makes room for some fire! This is the time to catch on and bite down. Because those results? I’d love to get them! 

At ASML, I work as a Project Lead Learning within the BPI Learning Team, where I develop and implement training programs for large-scale, international transformation projects. I lead a team of Learning Experts and Developers, ensuring that end users are effectively trained. The challenge lies in coordinating training across cultures, time zones, and disciplines, while considering the needs of various stakeholders. The Situational Leadership training has made me more mindful in my approach, both in guiding others and in seeking direction when needed. I am proud of my rapid growth as a project leader in a complex, international environment.

As a learning expert within the Talent and Leadership Development team at Ormit Talent, I focused on improving and optimizing our online e-learning system. This is crucial for Ormit, as training and developing both internal and external clients is our core product. One key project at Ormit is Studytube, where I developed a quality framework and created e-learnings to enhance the system. My responsibilities were diverse. On one hand, I worked on setting up and implementing a quality framework for video content; on the other hand, I created various e-learnings on communication and vitality, specifically focusing on communication through screens. My fresh perspective and energy brought speed and a new working approach to the project. The tasks included didactic design of e-learnings and developing them within Studytube. I was also responsible for iteratively setting up the quality framework, involving everyone in the process. The role was challenging due to the diversity within the team and varying work styles. I learned a lot about stress management and vitality, which I applied in my daily practice. The knowledge and skills I relied on most were didactic and sociological knowledge, project management, and stakeholder management. A key result was setting up and evaluating the quality framework and improving video content with the team. Additionally, I delivered several e-learnings and started implementing improvements. The most enjoyable part of my assignment was managing the project myself and acting as the project leader. I’m proud that I led both the planning and execution. The biggest lesson I take away is the importance of collaboration for a fun and successful assignment.
