Wout Jacobs, CEO Walls Vastgoed
I first met Isabel at the Fujifilm Print Summit earlier this year. This is where I first heard about the CARE Principles. I was truly captivated by the simplicity and inspired by the success stories that Isabel presented. We started talking from then as I knew she could really help me inspire my team. Isabel joined us at our Imaging Solutions Conference where we had approximately 100 people from the Fujifilm UK team. The theme for the conference was all about inspiring the team on future growth. Isabel delivered an excellent presentation to the team and really resonated with the team. Many staff members wanted to know more about The CARE Principles and wanted a copy of Isabel’s book. Isabel has been a pleasure to work with and I’m so glad our paths crossed. We have great conversations about how to approach business and build an ethos within the team that focuses on the core CARE Principles. Isabel is a pleasure to work with and she really takes time and energy to get under the skin of our industry. Thank you Isabel and I wish you all the best for the future.
