Carmen Seman

Vice President | Global Brand Strategy I Omnichannel Marketing

Carmen and I met at Nike. We both used to work in Retail Brand Marketing. She was responsible for EMEA while I was taking care of Northern Europe. Carmen climbed her way to the top from Director roles to Senior Marketing roles to Vice President of Marketing. What I admire about her journey is that regardless of how others said she should behave or even dress, she stayed true to herself. And that is not easy during a corporate climb.

How to stay authentic while you are climbing the corporate ladder to the top

Ralf Faessler

CEO of 11teamsports group and Strategy and Management Consultant

Ralf was my manager during my last couple of years at Nike as Marketplace Development Director EMEA. But he was more than that. He has been my mentor throughout my corporate career and continues to be my mentor until today. He is a great leader, a human-centric leader who cares about people. I learned a lot from him. Many people at Nike and who have left, will agree with me, that Ralf is one of the best leaders and mentors. He is now CEO of 11teamsports Group and a Strategy and Management Consultant. I couldn’t think of anybody else than Ralf to come and talk about Corporate relationship building to advance your career..

Nicole Brown

Business Development Director Nike x Foot Locker EMEA

Nicole and I were part of a Leadership team. Two black women in the same leadership team, can you imagine that? That doesn’t happen often. Guess who our leader was? Ralf Faessler. Nicole is a great leader herself, but she has a hidden passion. I encouraged her to pursue her dream side hustle, which she now brought to life; called Oualichi Design. Nicole is working on her career portfolio instead of a career path. A career portfolio is a never-ending source of discovery and fulfillment. Whereas a career path tends to be a singular pursuit (climb the ladder in one direction and focus on what is straight ahead. Starting and managing a side hustle is not easy. Nicole will share how she is managing and still thriving in her job.

How to successfully start and manage a side hustle

As a woman (of color), I have always admired her for the way she climbed the corporate ladder and navigated the complexities of corporate life. Her enduring mentorship has been invaluable, and to this day, I find inspiration in her accomplishments. Pamela lives by my mission of opening doors, minds, and hearts to the possibilities of life which is why she makes time to inspire, guide, and mentor others.

At Book Your Trainer, we've completed some great programs

The feeling of success among our members translates into a better sense of self. Of course, a cosmetic change affects how you feel. But a healthy self-image has much more influence on how you perform and present yourself in the workplace. If you don’t believe in yourself, how can you convince others to? The rationale behind why you want something and what your ultimate goal is paints an interesting journey for you. I’m here to walk the path together with a backpack full of guidance. It remains your story.

My answer to what a healthy lifestyle can mean for your career describes a comprehensive picture with a start between your ears. A program to change you cosmetically, make you feel fitter, or run faster can be written by multiple trainers for you. There are many good trainers in Amsterdam. I even have a few favorites that I follow. I just don’t believe that starting from the outside in is the right order. Love yourself first. Help yourself. Explore yourself. Heal yourself. Make the necessary changes, make the right decisions, do what suits you, and move in your power because of it.

As a fitness and health professional I focus on changing lives or rather lifestyles through sports and fitness.

The aim is to assist you in becoming the best healthy version of yourself.  Physically and mentally! I practice my work in every location. I believe we can train and get fit anywhere. From the great outdoors to, school gyms and or private corporate office gyms.

3 valuable health tips 
– Stay active. Start by moving a little more each day, once you’ve got that under control. Start training as if a gold medal is on the line. 
– Make the time to rest. Get those 6-8 hours sleep. Power napes help!
– Have balanced and nutritious meals.

I live by the following: 
Always progressing 
Train for today and tomorrow.

The Extra Mile: The workplace of Hustle & Heart Consultancy

At The Extra Mile (TEM), we have created an ecosystem where like-minded entrepreneurs of all walks of life can benefit from the synergy that arises when people go ‘the Extra Mile’ for their community.

We connect the entrepreneurs of today with the stars of tomorrow by working close with Schools and universities. 

It’s the Goal of the founding partners to uplift the SOUTHEAST area of Amsterdam to higher levels by inspiring people to work together and creating the platform for all of this.

Originally a banker, then transitioned to consultancy when I moved to the UAE.

Today in my role as a strategist and consultant, I’ve had the privilege of helping many companies scale into successful global businesses. We take a unique approach, —one that prioritizes inclusive innovation, mindful product development, and sustainable growth. My mission is to guide established and fast-growing companies towards a more holistic perspective on success. 

My three tips for a thriving life:

  • Embrace Your Authenticity
    Your uniqueness is your greatest asset. Don’t shy away from it; let it shine through in everything you do. Authenticity breeds connection and trust, essential ingredients for both personal and professional success.
  • Pursue Your Passion with Purpose
    Identify what sets your soul on fire and pursue it relentlessly. However, don’t lose sight of the bigger picture. Ensure that your passion aligns with a greater purpose—one that brings meaning not only to your life but also to the lives of others.
  • Believe in the Power of Possibility
    Remember, nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it. Cultivate a mindset of optimism and resilience. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and innovation. With determination and perseverance, you can overcome any obstacle on your path to success.

Being a business mentor is different from being a coach.

As a mentor it is important that you can serve your client by providing guidance, experience and wisdom gained by your own experience. The goal is to offer insights into navigating challenges making strategic decisions and developing professionally. 

Each phase of the business comes with challenges and opportunities. It is my job to help my mentee to overcome these challenges and seize the opportunities.

My tips for every business owner

  • Serve wholeheartedly and the money will follow.
  • Add value.
  • Have a strategic plan.
  • Hire a mentor that’s been through every phase. 
  • Anticipate instead of reacting.
  • Know your numbers.
  • Know your why‼️
  • And remember You are the engine and the beating ❤️ of your organization. So, make sure you work on yourself and nourish yourself.

My best 3 Game changers to stay vital and successful are:

  • Kickstart everyday with two glasses of water – hydration is key to keep your energy levels up and flushing out those toxins. First win of the day!
  • Identify your personal ‘energy peak’ moments and structure your day around it, as much as you can, including slow down time and mindful meals.
  • Treat working out and moving your body as two separate activities. Mix them up, play around with what works best for you. All about staying active and feeling great!
