At GameChangers, are on a mission to empower people all over the world to unlock their full potential. We are dedicated to changing the ‘game’ in society and economy from the ‘finite’ game of win-lose to the ‘infinite’ game of growth-contribution. The time to find out about true talents, dreams and passions is now. With our tools we empower people to do so. Our professional network of trainers – the GameChangers – is ready for this change . Are you?
Build a global community of self-empowered, emotionally intelligent leaders who will fuel the change they want to see in the world by creating game-changing working environments for present and future generations.
Our aim is to change the game for one million people worldwide, alongside our corporate and philanthropic partners.
It all started with an agora…
When one of our founders was on holiday, he came across an open space in the middle of the Greek resort he was residing in. It was called ‘agora’. It instantly interested him. What is this place?
When he looked up the meaning of the word ‘agora’, he was pleasantly surprised. In ancient Greece, an ‘agora’ was an open public space where people came together to exchange products and knowledge. World pioneers like Socrates came to agora’s to teach students and, in return, get something to eat.
This ancient principle of sharing knowledge is our starting point to make a difference in the world. We believe access to knowledge should be a human right. As GameChangers, we want to make that possible.
In order to turn the world into a better place, we want to change the societal game from ‘finite’ to ‘infinite’. What do we mean by that? Creating win-win situations in which everyone can benefit from one another instead of striving for situations in which there is always a winner and a loser. We are responsible for lifting each other up instead of bringing each other down.
Therefore we need people who create these win-win situations and share the story in order to make a change. That is why we are creating a community of people that are willing to add value to this exchange. With their endless knowledge, innovative ideas, and willingness to share it with others and change the game. We call it: community over competition.
We donate 5% of our revenues to the GameChangers Foundation
We empower young people all over the world in finding their full potential and creating chances to live their best life. That is why we are building a GameChangers Community to reach out to young people for whom wellbeing is not a standard and give them a chance to be the change they need. We are highly motivated to organise Vision X camp programs, made possible by funding that comes from the GameChangers Group.

‘Already one person can make a difference’
When I was 20 years old, I got the honor to participate in a ‘GameChangers’ training and develop my own vision and mission of becoming an empowerment trainer myself. Since then, every step I take, every decision I make, is aligned with this clear goal, to share this universal knowledge and experiences with the younger generation in order to develop their clear vision and mission. It should not depend on luck to find this, but it should be a ‘human right’ to get this knowledge and experiences.
I am in the Gamechangers community because I believe that together we can light up the fire within anyone we are going to touch. Either through a nice chat, or in overcoming obstacles or even more, in helping to create something new that will help fostering this tomorrow that everyone deserves.

An egg can break in two ways, either it breaks from an outside force and the life within ends or the egg breaks from within after giving it warmth and love, this way life begins. Empowering people is making them break their ‘comfort zone’ egg from within, so life can really begin. Be you to be free, break the egg and dance to this beautiful life!
There is a need for Gamechangers and I will contribute to this community because we are facing a major challenge in our society. Different systems are creaking. Technological changes are happening faster than we can imagine. The new generation needs a different kind of education. We need to bring the power of the heart to the table besides training the cognitive mind. Then we will reveal our qualities and we can share our full potential with the world. Then we will give meaning to our own lives and those of others. Then we stand side by side and build a resilient society and a beautiful world to live in for all sentient and non-sentient beings. That’s why I want to contribute my time and talents to the GameChangers Community.
I am a coach, keynote-speaker, columnist and podcast-host. I translate the latest findings of neuroscience into understandable and practical tools. It will give you the strength you need. As a kind of ‘Life Design’ for your private life and for your organization. Because we’re not human resources. We are resourceful humans. We are social animals who want to be seen and heard. Soft skills are anything but soft. They are fundamental to how people live and work. They’re people skills, they’re power skills. It’s neurobiology. What I’ve learned as I’ve gotten older is how much we can gather steam as we gather years. We can (re)build our lives and dreams at any age.
As a GameChanger I want to be sunshine for your soul and medicine for your mind. ‘Each one teach one’: we’ll figure things out together. To find the way back home.
‘After all, you’re just another me and I’m just another you’ – Rumi

We all have untapped potential within us. To tap into that potential , we must expand from within.

How to make this experience of life the most pleasant for myself and others is what motivates me and pushes me forward to discover what is truly possible for each and every one of us.

In the end, the location of the new economy is not in technology, not the microchip of the global communication networks as previously thought…..It is in the HUMAN MIND, in their knowledge, in their expertise (Webber, 1993) I conclude that: Hospitality practice and education must come together in a deeper CONNECT, in order for true expertise to be achieved
