Introduction

This does not happen because people do not care. It happens because you lack a clear, structured path to move from intention to impact. Leading improvement requires clarity, alignment, and routines that hold even when work becomes demanding.

The C.H.A.N.G.E.™ Accelerator gives you exactly that.
A guided journey that strengthens your leadership, supports your initiative, and helps your organisation move with you.

Many leaders have tried to make change happen. They launch an initiative with good intentions, but the momentum fades once pressure rises. The same weak signals return, the same conversations repeat without progress, and the organisation slips back into old habits.

Who is this for?

The Accelerator is designed for leaders who want to implement an initiative that delivers lasting improvement in safety and ways of working.

EHS leaders

who want more influence, clarity and confidence to guide an initiative through the organisation.

Operational leaders

who want steadier routines, stronger alignment and practical ways to shape behaviour and planning.

who want initiatives that do not fade, leadership that aligns under pressure and a method that builds organisational capability.

Corporate EHS directors

By the end of the 14-week C.H.A.N.G.E.™Accelerator, you will walk away with:

• a clearer, stronger improvement initiative

• alignment across the people who matter

• leadership habits that support consistency

• routines that anchor progress in daily work

• early evidence you can show and discuss

• a forward path that continues after the program

• renewed confidence in your ability to lead change

You will know how to design and implement improvement in a way your organisation can feel and sustain.

Your Transformation as a Leader

At the start, your initiative may feel heavy. You feel responsible for its success, yet you work in an environment full of competing priorities and long-standing habits. You want to move forward, but pressure and complexity get in the way.

As you progress through the Accelerator, this begins to shift.

Your initiative becomes clearer. You gain a rhythm that reduces overwhelm. People understand why the work matters. Alignment grows. Decision making becomes steadier. You feel supported rather than alone.

By the final weeks, you see visible change.

Planning improves. Conversations become clearer. Stakeholders show more ownership. You can explain your progress with confidence and credibility. What you started becomes something the organisation supports.

This is the transformation the C.H.A.N.G.E.™ Accelerator is designed for.

Recommendations

"Marieke worked with me as part of as major organisational change project. She demonstrated outstanding change management skills, coordinating the implementation of a new operating model across multiple refineries in Europe. She quickly mastered the key content of the changes and made the detailed design of several aspects herself. She then worked with refinery leaders and their teams to ensure that they could implement it effectively. Whilst having no formal line authority in this role, she was able to steer, energise and influence at all levels of the organisation to achieve the necessary outcome."

Andy Ray - VP Chemicals Europe - Global Excellence

"Marieke is truly passionate about occupational safety. What stood out to me during her time at Shell was how she engaged contractors as equal partners at the table, actively involving them in discussions on how to reach a higher maturity level in Health and Safety.
From my position as Global HSEQ Manager at Mourik at that time, I found the collaboration with her both effective and enjoyable."

Arend Profijt - HSEQ Management & Consultancy

”Marieke exemplifies what modern safety leadership should be. She combines deep expertise in Human and Organizational Performance with the rare ability to connect authentically across all levels of the organization. Her work creates not just safer workplaces, but stronger, more resilient teams. With Marieke, safety is not a program, it’s a mindset, rooted in trust, learning, and care for people. Any organization seeking to embed Be Human Be Safe into its DNA will find no better partner.”
