editor
From the age of 17 onwards, travelling the globe in pursuit of the unknown intrigued by cultures, countries and their inhabitants, eventually calling Holland and England my home.
Having taught the marketing concept by understanding the true elements of a blossoming flower in soil, I believe as Paulo Coelho (author of The Alchemist) says; “The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them”.
To the above I would like to add the personal note that, giving yourself ‘the time to see’, is the biggest gift you will ever receive.
So … herewith I, continuously seeking challenges, given the ability to inspire myself and others through extensive professional experience in hospitality, marketing, recruitment, education and training, would like to give … Gebert the time to write.
So … we all take the time to read, which will give us ‘the insight’ of the message and concept laid down in THE REAL MICE BOOK
