"When Better Minds CEO Elke Geraerts introduced Aisha to guide Umicore through its mental wellbeing program, we immediately knew this would become a hit. With Aisha’s knowledge and experience, we developed Umicore’s (evidence-based) mental wellbeing model as a basis for a 3 hour interactive workshop. Starting with Umicore’s Management Board, Aisha has facilitated numerous mental wellbeing workshops throughout the organisation. Invariably, participants praise her knowledge, insights while underlining her talent to guide the audience through the often animated discussions, challenging comments and many questions raised. Thanks to Aisha’s commitment and involvement, I can truly state that awareness among management on the importance of mental wellbeing as a key-condition to be successful as an organisation is undisputable."
