M. Claire Van de Velde

Claire is an experienced trainer and consultant who helps organisations strengthen collaboration, communication and change management. Drawing on her experience in innovation, strategic policy and leadership development, she supports teams and managers in realising their full potential.

Her approach is people-centred, practical and based on internationally recognised methodologies. Claire believes that sustainable change begins with self-awareness and understanding others. Participants in her training programmes report that not only do they communicate better and motivate their colleagues more effectively, but they also continue to apply these skills in challenging situations, even years later.

Claire combines sharp analytical skills with a warm and inclusive style. She is a valued partner to organisations and executives seeking to develop, innovate and create a culture of trust and collaboration.

“I believe that everyone is capable of understanding one another and bringing about change through authentic and empathetic leadership. My goal is to create a world where communication isn’t limited to the exchange of information, but where it also fosters trust, respect and cooperation. It energises me to see how small ideas can lead to big changes, both within teams and at an individual level. In this way, everyone works together to achieve results.”
