Yvo Kouwenhoven

What do you do when life suddenly turns upside down?

How do you deal with major challenges? And how do you get back on your feet?
Yvo Kouwenhoven knows all about this and has a powerful and moving way of sharing his experiences with his audience. He takes you by the hand with relatable examples (and dark humor), in a story about acceptance, the importance of having a strong network, and finding meaning in life.

During his keynote, teams and organizations learn:

• how essential a strong network is during times of change;
• how purpose and meaning can provide direction and insight during periods of adversity;
• why acceptance is both challenging and necessary when facing difficult circumstances.

Afterwards, you will leave the room inspired — and, without a doubt, with a hopeful smile on your face.

Yvo is the embodiment of hope and ‘Resilience: Next Level’.

He survived a serious car accident as well as meningitis — three times. He also managed to wake up from a coma three times and rebuild his life from the ground up. That is resilience!
Yvo toured the world with his band, performing more than 150 shows a year across Europe and the United States. He later decided to bring his ideals to life closer to home by starting an organic farm. He transformed from a city boy into an organic farmer in the countryside. Within just a few years, his organic farm grew into a successful business with a strong social mission.
During this keynote, Yvo Kouwenhoven shares his inspiring insights from a life shaped by extraordinary challenges.
