Cees ten Thije

Partner & Facilitator

Values like learning, improving, pragmatism and progressing are central to Cees.

With a master in Art History, he has got 20 years business experience as sales and marketing director, entrepreneur in digital platforms, and as interim manager at universities. After having trained as coach, trainer and facilitator, he now helps – as facilitator at Business Being Human – professionals, teams and departments who want or need to change. He has a pragmatic, accessible, warmly confronting, learning by doing approach. He finds inspiration for his approach in Design Thinking, Agile, Scenario Planning, Deep Democracy and Constellations. Being responsible yourself for jointly finding solutions, making decisions and coming into action, and weighing stakeholders’ interests are key elements in this way of working. There will ample opportunity to address emotional and social intelligence, effective communication, group dynamics, cooperation, self-efficacy, personal leadership, career development and performance. As facilitator, Cees strives to make it easier to have productive conversations on these topics. Cees dedicates his free time to (mountain) walking, personal and professional development (reading, getting training, (peer) supervision), maintaining his website on sustainable and self-proficient living, fitness, and attending theatres, concerts and museums. He is also an enthusiastic amateur cook and (step) father of four teenage girls.
