What LEF brings to the table

1. CLARIFIER. I help you see the real question, challenge assumptions and choose where your energy will make the biggest difference.

2. CONNECTOR. I bring together people, perspectives and organisations that probably should have met a long time ago.

3. PATTERN SPOTTER. I connect the dots between technology, behaviour and change, so new opportunities come into view.

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

THREE KINDS OF QUESTIONS. ONE AIM.

Where do you need things to move?

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

FOR LEADERSHIP TEAMS, HR AND L&D

Your people are in the room. It needs to lead somewhere.

Sessions that actually deliver

A strategy day, a team away day or a co-creation session with clients and partners. I design and facilitate it so everyone contributes and you walk out with decisions, not flip charts full of notes. Possible formats: strategy workshop, away day, co-creation session or a learning programme spread over several sessions.

Keynotes that get people 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 right now. Possible keynotes: the future of female entrepreneurship, the future of work and learning, and doing business in a world that keeps changing.

A strategic sounding board

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

FOR ORGANISATIONS THAT WANT TO INNOVATE

There's an opportunity, but no plan yet.

Seeing what's possible

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

Building something new

You have an idea, ambition or challenge with potential, but it still needs shape. Together we sharpen the opportunity and turn it into something that can be explored, tested and backed. Possible formats: concept lab, innovation sprint, project kickoff or tailored support.

Connecting the right people

Some opportunities don't fit inside one organisation, sector or job title. I often see early on which connection is missing, and I bring the right perspectives to the table. Possible formats: ecosystem mapping, partner scouting, co-creation session or long-term ecosystem support.

FOR THOSE WHO WANT ENTREPRENEURSHIP TO GROW

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

Unlocking entrepreneurship and talent

Want to give students, early-stage founders 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 cohort coaching.

Running your own business?

Then a one-to-one 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.

DOESN'T FIT IN A BOX?

Even better. That's often where the interesting work starts.

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++.

"Working with Kirby is a pleasure. She always finds the right words and reads people perfectly. Her enthusiasm is contagious. She's exactly the right person to take my business to the next level!"

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!!!

LEF is More means business, energy and inspiration. Working with Kirby doesn't feel like work, it's pure fun. She's highly professional and knows how to get things done. Whether it's opening doors, inspiring you or giving your business a boost, Kirby can do it all. It may sound like a cliché, but every business needs a Kirby.

"Kirby is a lively, creative person! Listening to her brainstorm is a joy, and for me hugely inspiring. She has a knack for turning her creativity, with remarkable efficiency, into action and reality."

“Over the past few months I've been able to turn to Kirby for advice, feedback, ideas and encouragement on my own projects. With LEF is More she has really found her thing: spotting the strength of a person, a company or a product, seeing what's possible, and then empowering exactly that. Kirby makes you shine, while she shines on the sidelines herself. A golden combination, if you ask me.”

"A hands-on consultant with strong entrepreneurial instincts and a clear commercial focus, backed by a well thought out marketing strategy. A focus she turns into results."
