AN EXTRAVERT, WITH COMPASSION FOR INTROVERTED PEOPLE

Interview with Juup Laarman-de Kanter from Utrecht University of Applied Sciences, trainer in lateral thinking and creative thinking, meeting designer, inspirator, facilitator ...

Juup Laarman-de Kanter started her career in 1998 in a communication and events agency called &Samhoud. After two years she switched to the Utrecht University of Applied Sciences where she became a lecturer. For nearly two decades she has been teaching thousands of students about creativity, concept design and meeting design. She is a trainer in lateral thinking and creative thinking techniques at De Bono Thinking Systems and De Academie voor Innovatief Trainen. Since 2017, she has been combining her work in education with her own company Juups where she offers her skills as an inspirator, facilitator, trainer and co-creator.

I think inclusiveness in meeting design is very important: how do you empower people and get a contribution from everybody.
