For the background of my self portret I will paint the egg of a bird. Here you see the fragile application process.

One of the most difficult and most effective values in an organization is simplicity. When managed well this has great opportunity for all concerned stakeholders for many years!

Coeur and Rage are French words. When combined you get a new word that has the same meaning in different languages and cultures all over the world. We can get enraged. But when we do this in consideration and in connection with our heart and the other a whole new contact appears.

Sustainability and entrepreneurship only get into the picture after some years of management. Certainly after 18-20 years of growth other questions than profit have to also tackled.

When you have managed your family company, you know that at least 5 years before you retire you have to start the process of changing the direction over to the next generation. As family business consultant I provide support in order to establish stronger private and professional relations within your family and your company now and for the generations to come! Sometimes this can get very emotional and than I am just at my best.

Since the whitepaper ad launch of Bitcoin a lot has changed. The initial idea as independent currency for and from the people is almost lost while CBDC and many coins are completely as business as usual. Starting with Lietaer and other founding fathers it is time to reconnect with the source and choose for 'Aragon', 'the Common Stack' amongst valuable others. In july 2020 I presented a museum alike artwork and video presentation in Deinze in order to inspire and inform people.

Art installation by Lieven Godderis

In the midst of the lockdowns crisis, I searched for answers and information. I came out to local and affordable healthcare instead of centralized, global and billions for a few companies. I openend an AVAAZ site called 'Lichtervelde' where people could post, collect and exchange about facts, independent investigative journalism and look trough promoted funded media and politics. After a few months this site and me as artist where definitely banned from Facebook.. The best way to survive was making art installations and inform and inspire people.

For me the only way to open the communication of what is going on during the continuous lockdowns and green pass obligation and access restriction was making art works. During a Keltic moon ceremony I experienced the deer as metaphor for the transition for the best. I made this scale model for the land art sculpture to be made later this year. On the archeological site most of the bones of a prehistoric giant deer are scattered under the soil. Only the antlers appear above the ground. They have the size of a fallen tree and will get more and more decorated with tags from people who visit the site. They write their name and typical human talent on the tag. In the end the wooden and other natural materials sculpture remains to remember the potential of human capacities.

In the French language we have the word; "courage" witch speaks about the strength and energy we can mobilize to go trough a difficult process (examination, disease, divorce, loss,...). For me as psychotherapist and coach, this goes about action from our hart (coeur) and with sufficient energy (rage). NOT in order to fight (the other as probably only projected) but to go on and just enough to manage to go trough and beyond your difficulties.
