Neeltje gave a truly inspiring talk that sparked a lively discussion. Many books have been written on personal effectiveness, including her own book Ignite, but her insights resonated strongly with us because of their solid scientific grounding and the remarkable relatability of her story. Many high-performing professionals sometimes struggle with a strong sense of responsibility, perfectionism, and self-criticism; discussing this so openly felt liberating, and it was inspiring to hear Neeltje translate these challenges into clear, practical ways forward.
