5 Skills I had to learn while running a company. Business basics: incorporation, taxation, accounting, marketing, sales, and the business itself- to sell a product or service, you must be either the best in the area or at least very good. Because of my corporate career, it was one of my easy-going parts. Digital creation skills – creating the website, writing the landing pages, and preparing the e-courses, writing a blog. Oh, that was hard. Even if you go to […]

And as we approach the end of the semester, I wanted to reflect on the time spent together with the students and gather valuable FEEDBACK.

Who did you want to be when you were younger, one of the students asked me last week… This question came out unexpectedly. None ever asked me this question – I mean, of course, I received this question when I was a kid or a student, but not when I am halfway through my career. I answered that I wanted to be a criminal lawyer, which was a dream of mine when I was reading a pile of thrillers, detectives, […]

Kazakh people celebrate New Year twice – once on the 1 of January, with the rest of the world, and once on the 22 of March. On the 9th of April, another great event had been organized for all people who are interested in or related to Kazakhstan. Theatre Diligentia in the Hague welcomed people where the special performance  of ethno-folklore ensemble “Turan”  had been held. Magic sounds of ancient music, the speech of the Ambassador of Kazakhstan in the […]

What is a great way to spend Friday afternoon? For me, it was attending an event hosted by the Netherlands-Kazakhstan Business Association right in the center of the #Hague. All questions raised by the business community interested in cooperation with #Kazakhstan have been answered by two Ambassadors of the countries – Andre Carstens and Askar Zhumagaliev. #Agriculture, #Hydrogen, #smartcity, #digitalisation, #oilandgas , even #poultryfarming – so many activities had been mentioned. Informative, energetic, and valuable – Henk Nieboer, thank you for this event. Oh, and I forgot to mention, it were […]

Those are things I was always dreaming of […]
