Bio
Lilianne Van Neylen
In de 5 jaar samenwerking heb ik Kim leren kennen als een zeer actieve en betrokken HR verantwoordelijke. Door open en goed voorbereide communicatie weet zij steeds de juiste stakeholders bij elkaar te brengen en bereikt zij haar belangrijkste doel: aanreiken van oplossingen die de goedkeuring kunnen wegdragen van zowel directie, medewerkers als partners. In de vele uitdagingen op verschillende terreinen, eigen aan een snelgroeiend bedrijf en gecombineerd met een moeilijke arbeidsmarkt, heb ik bij Kim steeds de ervaring en de wil om te slagen mogen ervaren. Ik kan Kim daarom ook ten zeerste bij u aanbevelen.
Michael De Bruyne
As a trainer in communication and performance & development management, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Kim in her role as HR Director for many years. She constantly showed her social and emotional intelligence in her approach of her employees on all levels, was always open for new ideas, and could get the best out of everyone by her brilliant active listening, her emotional intelligence and her assertiveness. Her energy, her drive, her intrinsic identification with her business is overwhelming: so nice doing business with her. A true example of authentic leadership.
