Jo’s inspiring life story begins at the age of 14. A creative spirit, he sets out to chase his big dream: building stage sets. Starting in his garden shed, he grows into one of the leading set builders in the Low Countries.

‍

Fueled by passion and drive, everything seems to run smoothly. Until it doesn't. “I could never find focus. It was just go-go-go and putting out fires. Because everything feels urgent. But when I stopped multitasking, I gained 30% more time. I made half as many mistakes. And because I didn’t need to fix those, my stress levels dropped by 50%. Those numbers are backed by science.”

‍

These insights changed Jo’s life. And today, he shares them through his interactive keynotes. Get ready for a rollercoaster of failures and frustrations, served with humour and self-awareness. Plus, you'll walk away with practical tips you can start using tomorrow.
