| WORLD PEACE
That’s right; we’re in the business of world peace! Our strategy? To make it happen 1 individual (or business) and 1 ‘simple’ question at a time.
Call it grassroots. Or bottom-up. Or inside-out. It is us taking responsibility for our own happiness and through that for the happiness of the world as a whole.
Curious what you can do to add your 2 cents to World Peace? Just leave your details on the right!
1 PART (HE)ART DRIVEN WORLD PEACE MOVEMENT.
1 PART INSPIRING SPEAKING, WORKSHOPPING, AND CONSULTING.
World Peace requires a critical mass of compassionate and open-minded individuals, businesses, and institutions that are happy with who they are and the life they live (or business they lead).
Which is why we focus on inspiring and teaching these people and businesses to indeed lead meaningful and peaceful lives and businesses. That are more at ease with themselves. Have less internal struggles and external frictions. And that utilize the talents and dreams they have to the fullest.
We inspire and teach through books, workshops, inspired speaking and consulting. But…as we remain curious and a tad artsy, we also offer (he)art…in the shape of portraits and interviews around the question “How Is It To Be You?” and the fascinating concept of being a human being.
| BEING HUMAN
Is there anything more confusing than being a human being?
From raging hormones and exotic emotions to endless streams of thoughts. From the close-to-impossible task of finding meaning in life to building loving relationships.
Being a human being is the one thing we ALL have in common and yet, we all just seem to stumble through it.
So how about we try to add a little more flow to life shall we? Let us build a world in which we actively learn to connect with ourselves and allow each other to be human beings. And let us do so without finger-pointing and fear-mongering but with empathy and compassion.
Join me in figuring out what it takes to make all our lives a little bit easier!

| ABOUT HOW IT IS TO BE YOU | ABOUT LINDA
This is me, Linda Coussement, and I’m on a purpose driven mission to create more understanding, more empathy, and more compassion in the world.
NOT by trying to change the system from the top down…but by doing so from the grass roots up. By mentoring and inspiring people, entrepreneurs and businesses in taking responsibility and showing vulnerability, by leading by example, by not shying away from the ‘dark side’ of being human and by not letting the things that scare me stop me.
And oh yeah, I also travel around the world to ask all sorts of people: “How is it to be you?”
