Hatch Invites: 2024
Many organizations see endless opportunities to make things better, healthier, smoother, and more efficient. They are often excited about artificial intelligence. We at Hatch believe that technology will never distinguish the potential of organizations unless you relentlessly focus on the potential of the Humans within.
Our focus is to put a spotlight on the potential of humans. Humans as individuals, humans in group, humans in relation to technology. We call it Humanizing Humans.
At Hatch we believe it should be the main topic of your agenda in 2024.
Humanizing humans is about self-awareness and direction, about collaborating in groups, about fears and fantasies. About the imperfections that make us perfect.
To share our focus and insight we would like you to attend “Hatch invites 2024"

About our guest László Kónya:
László is CEO of Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions HU. He is a digital leader, emotional intelligence champion, and agile mindset advocate. He is passionate about making an impact and developing business. Proven track record of success in driving innovation and growth.

After reading through Ruben Nieuwenhuis’ CV, Roanne was confused - and a bit dizzy. He is the director of TechConnect, a Tech Talent program to activate & educate underrepresented groups into tech/IT jobs; but he is also a book author, as well as a social entrepreneur and the founder of many startups and companies (TechGrounds, Boeren voor Buren, TekkieWorden, CupolaXS, TechMeUp, Growth Tribe); sits in many different advisory boards (Codam, International Advisory Board, Amsterdam Economic Board, Future NL and next to all that, he seems to be the driving force of just about a thousand initiatives.

“So how can I describe your job function, exactly?”, Roanne asks before meeting Ruben at the Amsterdam SOHO house for this recording. Halfway during the interview, she decides: he must be an octopus, which totally makes sense to Ruben. Towards the end of their conversation, however, they both realize he can’t be under water, at all: he needs to be on bridges, as those are his natural environment. Don’t worry: just tune in, and all will become clear.

Ruben also shares how he spent quite a bit of time in his career in helping a world that was, he later understood, increasing inequality and exclusivity. Courageously enough, he decided to then radically change gears. Listen how, and why.

In this conversation, Ruben shares:

- How he long worked in the techindustry without realizing how exclusive it was
- How, when that realization finally came, he radically changed his goals
- Why he is so committed to diversity, inclusion and equality of opportunity
- How he combines all his jobs, without being busy
- Why he forces himself to read book he does not want to read - and why you should, too
- Why, as a good leader, you should be in touch with both the high ranks, and the target audience, in order to understand the whole

In today's episode, Roanne meets with Araz Najarian. She enables leaders, teams, and organisations in being purposeful and relevant. Both those that are scaling up and need support in creating focus and pacing their growth, and also those companies stalling in their growth and needing to re-frame and re-ignite their innovative spirit.

How does she do that, asks Roanne? The short answer is: by being curious, and by sparking people's creativity - yes, even those who insist they are not at all creative.

Araz lives in the Netherlands with her husband and their beagle, and while she loves her work, she also enjoys leaving enough space in her life to go on new adventures and learn new skills.

This is a conversation on invoking inspiration, daring to connect, daring to ask, and daring to grow. Enjoy!

Martine Beijerman is a Dutch author and legal scholar and currently lives in the USA. Her main research interests are democracy, rule of law and inclusion/exclusion. She has obtained her PhD on democratic legitimacy of international lawmaking. In her book Vreemde eenden (2021 Uitgeverij Podium) she explores the tension between our democratic ideals of equality and freedom and the harsh reality of exclusion, ranging from racism, homophobia, antisemitism and everything in between. She examines the role of group dynamics, the media, and unconscious biases and concepts such as power, fear, shame and status. By bundling scientific research and interviews with leading scholars and thinkers, Martine tries to find answers to the pressing questions: why do we exclude the other? Who benefits from exclusion? And why is there so much resistance to talk about it?

"We should slow down", says change manager Patrick van der Voorn, and: "to be human, means to be humiliated." Roanne figured that that was enough reason to invite him over for a podcast!

She and Patrick discuss:
- what working in 5 stars hotel taught him: especially that time when there was a fire and he was on the 24th floor, with all of his guests
- what are the urgent questions in companies, noone dares to asks (but change managers must!)
- the meaning of his motto: give direction, lead the way
- why future leaders need to slow down, AND: fall down.
- why true leaders, should dare to get their guards down (and their ties off)
- and why we should all invest in 'sensitizing' ourselves

Patrick recommends us all to go and try rinsinyoku, AKA: Japanese forestbathing. Roanne tried it already and loves it - let us know what your experience was!
