Who is Ann De Bisschop?

Ann is a pioneer in professionalising wellbeing at work. She was Belgium’s first Wellbeing Director (DPG Media) and has been a much sought-after and passionate speaker on wellbeing, happiness at work and leadership for many years. She aims to convince business leaders to embed wellbeing within their organisations, so that it is not merely a series of isolated initiatives, but an integral part of the corporate culture. In doing so, she makes it clear that wellbeing within a company is a shared responsibility and considers the role of both the organisation and the manager, as well as that of the employee themselves.
Ann is a much sought-after keynote speaker both at home and abroad thanks to her authentic and hands-on approach. She inspires executive and management teams, but is equally sought after to inspire employees themselves with tips and insights for greater resilience, a positive mindset, less stress and a better work-life balance. Efficient meetings and emailing are also covered, as is the importance of communication and connection now that many organisations are opting for hybrid working.

  • Counting down to Monday: how working smartly makes you happier and healthier

    Human capital has never been a more important issue than it is today. More and more companies are realising that employees perform at their best when they feel good about themselves. Managers and team leaders must have vision and create clear policy where employees are able to maximise their potential and optimise their performance in a healthy manner. Happy colleagues help to make the difference.

    Ann De Bisschop uses specific tips & tricks and clear insight to tell a story that immediately inspires you to do things differently, and gives you the enthusiasm and energy needed to start the new working week.

    Ann teaches CEOs, HR managers, team leaders and employees how they can be more resistant against stress, how they can improve their productivity, why they should certainly avoid multi-tasking and why an elephant is not a rabbit…

  • WELLBEING = PROFIT², because happy and healthy employees are your most important resource

    This keynote is based on her second book, whereby she addresses the three levels of wellbeing:

    • What can organisations do to ensure resilient employees?
    • What role do managers play in the wellbeing of employees?
    • What can employees do by themselves?

Ann delivered a very lively keynote to a large group of employees. Thanks to her enthusiasm and positive aura, she was able to inspire both French- and Dutch-speaking colleagues. Her practical tips were well received by everyone. The way she explains things gives you the energy and appetite needed to put her many tips into practice.
