#75 Waarom niemand meer om Marlène heen wil - en hoe jij dat ook doet
Soms heb je een ambitie. Een idee. Een wens. Maar wat als dat blijft hangen in ‘leuk bedacht’ en nooit werkelijkheid wordt?
Marlène Lemmens had zo’n wens. Ze wilde dat haar organisatie iemand zou hebben die zich bezighoudt met werkgeluk en de duurzame inzetbaarheid van mensen. Een rol die simpelweg niet bestond.
Fast forward naar nu: die rol is er - en zij vervult ‘m.
Hoe kreeg ze dit voor elkaar? Wat maakte dat niemand meer om haar heen kon? En, belangrijker nog: hoe zorg jij ervoor dat dit ook voor jou gebeurt?
In deze aflevering ontdek je:
✅ De cruciale keuzes die het verschil maakten tussen een droom en realiteit
✅ Hoe Marlène haar stem liet horen - zonder zichzelf te overschreeuwen
✅ Waarom mensen haar ineens begonnen te vragen in plaats van dat ze moest vechten voor haar plek
✅ Wat jij nu kunt doen om dezelfde impact te maken
Wil jij niet langer wachten tot iemand jou ziet, maar ervoor zorgen dat niemand meer om jou heen wíl? Dan wil je deze aflevering niet missen.

In this episode, I’ll show you exactly how to shift the dynamic so you’re no longer overlooked, dismissed, or fighting for recognition.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
✅ Why proving yourself backfires - and what actually works
✅ How to stay in control when someone talks around you
✅ The positioning move that commands attention without trying harder
✅ What to say when someone repeats your idea as their own
If you're done with being overlooked and ready to be heard, respected, and taken seriously—this episode is for you.
Hit play now, because your seat at the table isn’t up for debate.
Ever had this happen to you? What did you do?
