Since many years when asked what I do
for a living, I answer that I am an environmental consultant, specialized in communication. Many of my colleagues focus on a
specific discipline, e.g. branding, advertizing, facilitation or PR. I offer
advice on all stages of the management cycle, always from the perspective of strategic
communication, processmanagement and learning. I am not interested to become
the best in my trade or to make a lot of money. I love to concentrate on
results that make a difference to the client and to nature or sustainable
development. In the plane a young professional asked me what my professional
values were. I shared with him these ten principles and values that guide my
work:
- . Love nature. Love people.
- . Know your qualities and your limitations.
- . Focus on the issue behind the question.
- . Be humble and customer oriented.
- . Always keep learning, view everyone as your teacher.
- . Publicize the success of your clients.
- . Dream the future, that will inspire others.
- . Be honest and transparent and ask that from others too.
- . Listen to your (ex) customers and their stakeholders to see what cannot be seen.
- Work hard, do not complain and give the credits to others.
