“The mountains inspire me. They are the source of the passion that I integrate to my work as a motivational speaker, interim manager, trainer and coach. Setting out on expeditions, climbing to the top with my team, camping out among the silent peaks... that's where I feel most profoundly fulfilled. It’s where I make my dreams come true and where I push out the limits of my experience, which in turn gives a new dimension to my management activities. Motivating and inspiring others is central to my work, and is also the intention behind my book Peak Performance." Katja Staartjes.
