Floorke Jutstra

My name is Floorke Jutstra and I enjoy working as a facilitator for Dare to Connect. My vision is that you can make a difference by being your authentic self. Connection with others requires connection with yourself, your personal themes and patterns. Connection with your qualities and with what you prefer not to show of yourself. Within the social domain, I am specialized in complex systemic problems and have learned a lot about human behavior and how it can be influenced by my behaviour and approach. I bring this knowledge and experience to my work as a facilitator/coach. In addition, I love walking as a way to process events and reconnect with myself.

Leander Potze

My name is Leander Potze and I work as a facilitator at Dare to Connect. For me, purity of the heart is very important.
