Hi, I'm Jeanette. I am like a bridge-builder, but instead of bricks and steel, my tools are words and processes. I help people get from A to B. I come from neuroscience, have worked as a translator and currently co-run a communication agency. My question: how to be modern and upgrade the process when my trade and industry still rests on traditional means and methods? My contribution: provocative questions, processes and a personal mix tape of experience in observing modern (wo)man at work and at play.

How to be modern today?

To be modern means to be acutely aware of the present, to be savvy enough to learn from the past (but not linger in it) and to have your wits about you regarding uncertainty (otherwise known as: the future). Less binary and more like a DJ mixing console.
