Bridge Builder
Michiel Kool
I believe that forward momentum is created through connection and improvement. Whether it’s a team starting a new collaboration, a project that has stalled, or an organization seeking the best results-oriented approach to tackle a challenge.
As a Bridge Builder, I bring people together. I help others step into each other’s shoes and look at challenges from multiple perspectives. I guide this towards a shared ambition, while bringing humor, psychological safety, and analytical realism into the mix. In an environment where people feel safe to express their ideas and concerns, the best solutions naturally emerge. From there, we can determine the best path forward together, even if that path sometimes seems unclear and uncertain or crystal clear but filled with significant challenges. I firmly believe that deeper connections between people and a continuous drive for improvement are crucial to any form of success. Regularly reflecting on what is going well and what can be improved, in light of the shared goal and results, is the foundation for realizing monumental ambitions.
Whether it’s a team starting a new collaboration, a project that has stalled, or an organization seeking the best results-oriented approach to tackle a challenge, I build the bridge between the people who will achieve monumental ambitions and those who strive to improve every day. That’s what I’m passionate about!
