Mirjam Leunissen

More than ever the world needs teams, leaders and changemakers with access to their imagination, bringing an uplifting creativity to times of change and improving our lives right here, right now.

Because it is your imagination that shapes your perception of reality, that allows you to be creative with constraints and to see new possibilities beyond the status quo. It is your imagination that helps you to understand someone else’s point of view. And it is your imagination that propels you towards your future goals.

So, do you want …
✨ more active engagement, ideation and co-creation of everyone involved
✨ more cross-pollination between different backgrounds, tapping everyone’s full potential
✨ more space for fresh perspectives and new ways of working, living & relating together
✨ more creativity and fun when tackling challenges
… but you are not sure how?

Then I’m your inventive friend!
As an experience designer & facilitator, I deliver hands-on workshops that invite people to break free from their usual thinking patterns and to actively explore new possibilities together. We will use visual metaphors, tangible objects or embodiment to stimulate the imagination. And to make the implicit explicit, thus deepening the conversation and connecting with each other in new ways.

In addition, I coach bold individuals who want to follow their own imagination more, professionally or personally. I have successfully re-imagined my own life several times and can help you find the new thinking & actions that will get you going right away.

✨ WHY ME? ✨

As Albert Einstein said:
Logic will get you from A to B – imagination will take you everywhere

I thus proudly present 20 years of cross-disciplinary experience in using the power of imagination.

As the leader of an experimental research group in physics, I mixed logic with imagination to make sense of complexity and to navigate unknown territory, making groundbreaking discoveries. As a data visualization specialist, I produced award-winning visual stories, making abstract information tangible. And through my polymer clay art and dance improvisation, I have learned to use all of my mental and physical abilities to effectively apply my imagination.

In recent years I have developed my facilitation and coaching skills so that I can help others overcome the hidden assumptions that limit their imagination. You see, if you want to go outside the box, you first need to know what that box is.

What sparks your ✨imagination✨? Let’s connect and find a way to be surprised together!
