From a good idea to something that actually moves.

STRATEGY · INNOVATION · CONNECTION

Where can LEF help you move?

1. SHARPENER. I help you see the real question, challenge assumptions and choose where your energy makes the biggest difference.

2. CONNECTOR. I bring together people, perspectives and organisations that probably should have met sooner.

3. PATTERN SPOTTER. I connect the dots between technology, behaviour and change, so new possibilities become visible.

4. BUILDER. I translate ambition into a first concrete step that can be explored, tested and supported.

THREE KINDS OF QUESTIONS. ONE PURPOSE.

Where do you want movement?

I work for organisations that want to go further than the next meeting. Sometimes that is a leadership team that wants to get its people moving. Sometimes an organisation with an opportunity but no plan yet. And sometimes a city, school or network that wants entrepreneurship to grow. Choose what fits your question best. You'll find who I've already done this for at the bottom of this page.

FOR LEADERSHIP, HR AND L&D

Your people are in the room. Something has to come out of it.

Sessions that deliver

A strategy day, an away day or a co creation session with clients and partners. I design and facilitate the session so everyone thinks along and you walk out with decisions instead of full flip charts. Possible formats: strategic workshop, away day, co creation session or a learning journey across several sessions.

Keynotes that get something moving

No trend show for the sake of it. I connect shifts in technology, entrepreneurship, work and learning to the questions your audience is wrestling with today. Possible keynotes: the future of female entrepreneurship, the future of work and learning, and doing business in a world that keeps changing.

Strategic sparring

You don't always need a thick report or a long programme. Sometimes you need a sharp conversation with someone who sees patterns, keeps asking and doesn't stay on the sidelines. Possible formats: one off sparring session, short series, standing sounding board or advisory role.

FOR ORGANISATIONS THAT WANT TO INNOVATE

There's an opportunity, but no plan yet.

See what becomes possible

New technology, changing behaviour and shifts in society keep creating new opportunities. I help you see patterns, question assumptions and decide what truly deserves attention. Possible formats: trend scan, opportunity mapping, future exploration or inspiration session.

Build something new

You have an idea, ambition or question with potential that still needs shape. Together we sharpen the opportunity and turn it into something that can be explored, tested and supported. Possible formats: concept lab, innovation sprint, project kick off or tailored guidance.

Connect the right people

Some opportunities don't fit within one organisation, sector or job title. I often spot early which connection is missing and bring the right perspectives to the table. Possible formats: ecosystem mapping, partner exploration, co creation session or long term ecosystem guidance.

FOR THOSE WHO WANT ENTREPRENEURSHIP TO GROW

Cities, universities, networks and incubators. And entrepreneurs themselves.

Activating entrepreneurship and talent

Want to give students, starters or entrepreneurs in your city, school or network more room to try, learn and build? I built Genius Antwerp from scratch and today I help lead Ondernemen@AP and StartAP Studio. So I know where things get stuck, and what gets them moving again. Possible formats: workshop, bootcamp, programme development or guiding a cohort.

Are you an entrepreneur yourself?

Then a sparring session is often the best first step. We look at your idea or your business together, I ask the questions you'd rather put off a little longer, and you leave with a concrete next step. No programme you don't need.

YOUR QUESTION DOESN'T FIT IN ANY BOX?

All the better. That is often where the interesting work begins.

A partnership that's stuck. An idea that falls between two departments. A network you want to build without knowing where to start.

Tell me in a few sentences what's going on. You'll quickly hear whether I can help. And if not, who can.

LEF IS MORE HAS WORKED WITH

WORKING WITH LEF

What got people moving

“In my 20-year career, I have had the opportunity to attend many courses and trainings, and thought I had seen it all pretty much. Then Kirby's training came along and I have never been so wrong in my assumptions. The method and approach Kirby brought to the story is of a completely different level. Inspiration, possibilities, facilitation, openness and responding to the needs of the participants are just about the first words that come to mind. A very positive and impactful experience that will last for many years to come. If you want to get to the next level, just Kirby and skip a few...”

Kirby talks with passion and is not afraid to ask difficult questions that let you reflect on the essence of doing business. She leads by example with her own company LEF is More and inspires many entrepreneurs, including me! Thanks to her, I discovered a network of connected futurists and trendwatchers!

This woman is a SUPER CONNECTOR! She knows innovators, change makers, decision makers, futurists and more. Talking to Kirby will elevate your reach and your business for the better every single time! Kirby you are A++.

"It is a pleasure to work with Kirby. She always knows how to find the right words and feels her clients perfectly. Her enthusiasm is contagious, she is a real winner!"

I cannot express how much I enjoy my conversations with Kirby! She is so enthusiastic in offering help and gave me a lot of good advice on how to get my project rolling. She also connected me with opportunities and people. I felt so comfortable to share my challenges with her as she would not judge me for the way I am but would try different approaches to encourage me to overcome my challenges. Thank you Kirby!!!

Anyone who says LEF is More says business, energy and inspiration. Working with Kirby doesn't feel like collaboration, it feels like pure fun. Kirby is very professional and knows how to get things done. Whether it's opening doors, inspiring you or boosting your business, Kirby can do it all. It may sound cliché, but everyone needs a Kirby in his/her business.

"Kirby is a lively and creative person! It is a pleasure to hear her brainstorm. Very inspiring to me! Kirby has a knack for turning her creativity into actions and reality in all its efficiency."

"In the past months I could go to Kirby for advice, feedback, ideas and encouragement for my own projects. Kirby has really found her own thing with LEF is More: finding the strength of someone/a company/ a product, seeing what the possibilities are, and employing that. Kirby makes you shine, while she is standing on the sidelines, shining. A golden combination if you ask me."

"Hands-on manager with strong entrepreneurial skills where the focus lies on the commercial part with a thorough marketing strategy. A focus that she turns into results."

Maybe there's something in it.

Working on a new initiative, looking for the right people to build it with, or sensing an opportunity that isn't sharp enough yet? Tell me what you're working on. I love to listen. And chances are I'll ask a question afterwards.
