Kelly Services, Director of marketing, EMEA
Todd Wheatland: "The jazz metaphor really works. It aligned strongly with our three day working session in Paris, touching on relevant topics for our marketing organization. Your workshop also challenged our thinking on how we collaborate as a team of professionals from across Europe. At the same time you demonstrated remarkable knowledge of marketing and organizational strategies. The combination of live music, business examples and practical training is a surprising combination. I can recommend Jazz in Business to anyone."

Van Lanschot, manager for private clients
Arie Heerschap: "After the workshop I became more interested in jazz music. I can also see how the insights from jazz can be applied in business.”

DA Drugstores, innovation manager
Derk Remmelink: "The combination of responsibility, freedom, professional behaviour, feeling, passion and personal input should be just as perceptible in 'work' as it is in jazz."

Radboud University Nijmegen, PhD student
Sietse Overbeek: "The jazz workshop offers an opportunity to ‘musically’ start a discussion about current problems within business.”

World Fashion Institute, Professor
Marco Mossinkoff: "A very good idea for managers to talk with musicians about how to handle things and to discover that doing business is in fact an art, that is actually what I found the most valuable.”

Life Tune, founder and trainer
Jonnet Galle: "Explicitly giving attention to the tension between standardization and creativity will undoubtedly make space for learning and making mistakes."

Henley Business School, Director Knowledge Management Forum
Christine van Winkelen: "The Jazzinbusiness workshop at the Henley Knowledge Management Forum on the 11th June was a great success. It exceeded my expectations in terms of effectively using the metaphor of jazz."

Haagse Hogeschool, teacher communication
Quirijn Menken: “The Jazz in Business Experience was a lovely finishing touch for our four-year college course in communication. Based on what a communications expert encounters in the real world, different ways of thinking about the role of people in an organization were offered in the workshop. Especially how improvisation (the importance and impact of it) keeps cropping up in the practice of an expert was very enlightening! From abstract theoretical to very practical, supported by musical examples, the workshop gives a beautiful picture of what you can do with the knowledge gained in the college course."
