What if you could always keep learning? Without a book, without a teacher, but from yourself. In this lecture, Gijs demonstrates how to use your imagination to make that possible. Because within each of us lies a wealth of untapped talent. Some skills come naturally, while others remain hidden. Imagine being able to uncover those hidden talents whenever you want—and using them to improve yourself.

In this speech, Gijs van Bilsen takes you on a journey of discovery into your own talents. Using the power of imagination, you will uncover hidden potential and gain greater self-confidence. By the end, everyone will leave with a better version of themselves.

Let people live the core values of your organization.

Let people experience the main themes of your event.

We’ll fire up the audience’s imagination for the topic you want.

What if… every visitor at your event is curious about the rest of the day?

Or imagine… that everyone walks out the door ready for action!

When we open the day, we energize the audience and set them up for active listening throughout the rest of the event. With accessible energizers and unexpected depth, this dynamic keynote is the perfect way to kick off the day.

And to close, we coordinate with you to shape the mindset you want people to take away. Action-oriented, empathetic, relaxed? We help people tap into their imagination to embody that mindset themselves.

Gijs is a born performer. From a young age, he was always drawn to the stage whenever there was a chance to entertain. But when faced with the choice between business studies and theater school, he opted for substance over spectacle. Over the years, he has made his mark in the corporate world as Chief Inspiration Officer at a renowned consultancy firm, author of multiple books, and a leader of transformation projects. Now, he brings it all together—the beauty of art, the creativity of play, and the depth of knowledge. Gijs uses his own imagination to grow as a speaker, trainer, and individual. During his lecture, you’ll meet two distinct sides of him, which he conjures through imagination: The Professor and The Jack Russell. Gijs travels the world in search of immersive experiences—from the Sahara Desert to the film set of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. And now, he takes the stage to share what he has learned about imagination. For example, how he overcame his fear of heights—and how others can do the same
