Creating Irresistible Organizations | People & Culture solutions (interim + consulting) Trainer | Speaker | Team Builder

Warning - cheesy 🧀 end of year post: 2024 was the year we proved '𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀' isn't just a fancy consultant phrase - it's a mission that transforms how people experience work. Spoiler: It involves a lot of kindness, zero micro-managing, and possibly a few amazing cocktails at our team meetings 🍸 This year, 7people went from a dream to a reality that's reshaping how startups and scale-ups think about People & Culture. But let me be real - it wasn't all smooth sailing. Building a team that truly gets our mission? That took 1200+ applications and more coffee than I care to admit 😅. → 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀 1. Grew from solo founder (in '21) to a team of 15 incredible humans in '24. 2. Besides our core team, we worked with 11 'besties' - our trusted zzp-ers whom we can't do without anymore (you know who you are) 3. We supported 50+ organizations THIS YEAR in creating cultures where people actually want to do their best work ever. 4. Proved that HR can be both strategic AND kind 5. We passed the €2mil revenue mark 6. Multiple of our clients raised funds or had a successful exit 7. We helped 20+ people & culture professionals make a professional move!

Picture this: 15 people in matching tracksuits, playing werewolf and creating a "Wall of Appreciation" with over 250 compliments. Who says team building can't be ridiculous AND meaningful? https://lnkd.in/eb8XcNG2 💡 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 "𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗚𝗼𝘁 𝟱 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀?" and diving deep into topics like mental wellbeing, breaking taboos one episode at a time https://lnkd.in/edFDGaF5 (Thanks to our amazing sponsor Personio) 🌈 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝘂𝘅𝘂𝗿𝘆 - it's a necessity for high-performing teams https://lnkd.in/eatXgZCv 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀: • Kindness is never weakness - it's your most powerful leadership tool • Teams perform best when they feel genuinely seen and supported • Mental health isn't a side project, it's THE project 2025 Vision: We're not just building HR solutions. We're creating a movement where work feels less like work and more like meaningful collaboration. More intentional culture, fewer boring meetings, and definitely more team dance-offs 💃 To my 7people ✨ team, family, partners and incredible clients - thank you for 2024. Now. Who's ready to make 2025 even more irresistible? #PeopleAndCulture #IrresistibleOrganizations #StartupLife
