St-Truiden, Flemish Region, Belgium
I'm a driven and motivated professional with a strong passion for people, communications, marketing and storytelling. I don't take "No" for an answer and find it motivating when someone says "It's not possible". Anything is possible if you keep in mind what your values and mission are and you're open to learn something new everyday. My personal mantra comes from Herb Kelleher: "We have a strategic plan. It's called doing things." I read everyday and write about ideas that keep me inspired and engaged at www.sparkingdrive.com. Connect with me on Instagram @teo_takacs, for more life stories and daily inspiration.

My biggest motivation is to support other people grow and to know that I have contributed in a way to something outside myself. As a Change Strategist, I work with people 1:1 and I guide them through a process of change and performance improvement, by supporting them with the right tools and techniques to overcome challenges and blockages. The Change Strategy Method is developed by Andrei Rosca and you can read more about it at the link below.
