House of Human Intelligence

The human skills that make the difference.

What an algorithm will never be able to do: truly being present.

I support leaders, teams and organisations with stalled collaboration, leadership questions, stress and change, with attention to people, relationships and systems.

Sound familiar?

What if knowledge alone isn't enough?

After years of working with individuals, leaders, teams and organisations, I kept seeing the same pattern: we tend to solve human challenges with more knowledge, models and procedures. While the real difference is usually made elsewhere — in what someone feels, dares to say, can bear, can see, and can carry together.

The biggest challenges organisations face are rarely a lack of knowledge. They arise when people, under pressure, lose contact: with themselves, with each other, or with the whole.

The Framework

Five intelligences, one direction

What AI cannot take over, you develop in five places at once: in your body, in how you look at yourself, in your relationships, in the group and in the bigger picture.

Embodied Intelligence

Knowing what your body already knows.

Reflective Intelligence

Looking consciously at yourself.

Relational Intelligence

Connecting when it gets uncomfortable.

Collective Intelligence

Together is more than alone.

Ecological Intelligence

Part of a larger whole.

Together a whole

The five intelligences reinforce each other. The framework shows how they connect.

What participants say

“No vague, feel-good talk. Concrete insights I could already use the next day.”

— Participant, Feedback die helpt workshop

“No one was pushed. Precisely because of that, I dared to take steps I'd been putting off for years.”

— Participant, Recharge

“Now I also understand why certain patterns keep recurring, not just what I need to do differently.”

— Participant, Reflectie in beweging

My insight

Why human challenges call for a different approach

I look at person, relationship and system at the same time. I work not only with what someone understands, but also with what someone feels, does and creates together.

Head and body

It is not only about what you understand, but also about how you react when things get tense.

Person and context

I do not individualise problems that are just as much relational, or a team or organisational issue.

Insight and practice

A session isn't successful because it was a good conversation. It's successful when something changes in real life and work.

Where this comes from

House of H.I. wasn't born at a drawing table.

After years of working with individuals, leaders, teams and organisations, I kept seeing the same paradox. People often know surprisingly well what they should do. And yet it doesn't happen once the pressure rises.

Not because they don't understand it. Change isn't just a matter of knowing. It also touches what your body does under stress, how you relate to others, which patterns you carry, and what a system makes possible, or blocks.

Out of that search grew House of Human Intelligence: a practice where I do not split up human development but bring it back together.
