Bio
Goedele Remans
I used to work with Kris for several years in Business Travel where I appreciated him as great professional people leader. Moreover recently as a client of Next Step & More I experienced to be coached by him in an excellent way in my recent search for a new challenge. He supported me in my career by self-reflection and by discovering my wants next to my skills. Once this was clear to me the next step was to give support for my resume and to be ready and well prepared for the final interview, to see what set me apart from other candidates. As a result, I am now thrilled to announce that I started a new career a couple of weeks ago, and I am more than happy with my new challenge. Thanks Kris!

I had the good fortune to work with Kris, many years ago. While we only worked about 4 years together, I have always valued his management style, professionalism and friendship. In all my years of employment, Kris, to this day, remains one of my favorite leaders/managers. Kris has a diverse background, resources and business know how. He is dynamic, creative, customer focused, a true leader (not a boss) and many other superlatives, but more importantly, I would gladly join a team Kris was leading, any time. A true value add to any company, team or network.
