Ad Bastiaanse: the power behind story telling and creativity
As a theater artist Ad knows perfectly how to use the communicative power of humour, because humour puts things into perspective. And putting things into perspective means taking a distance, and taking a distance means seeing things clearer. Ad creates the perfect feeding ground for in-depth conversations and inspires the participants of the World Cafe to realize the best results possible.
In order to realize a meaningful dialogue within the World Cafe, Ad Bastiaanse, in his keynote speach, really gets the participants thinking. He shows that the power of storytelling, the sharing of meaningful stories and the trust in a relationship all make it possible to get closer to each other in order to reach the next step.
As a former theater artist, Ad Bastiaanse uses humour and interaction to bring new insights about our behaviour to the participants. He provides the perfect feeding ground for in-depth, real conversations in the World Café. As a moderator he guides and inspires in order to realize best results.
“Don’t tell me who you are or what you are thinking
….. just tell me a story”

ABOUT AD BASTIAANSE
Talk about ‘hitting the nail on the head’, inspiration, clear argument! His presentation lasted an hour, but it seemed like a minute, everyone hung onto his lips. At the end of the presentation everyone came to thank us for his inspirational story.

During an interactive plenary session with my team, Ad very refreshingly held up a mirror in regards to human conditioned behaviour. A very successful afternoon!!
