A warm welcome to another episode of ‘The Naked Truth about…Podcast’. In this episode Prof. Dr. Beverley Wilson-Wünsch and I talk to Anouk Lagae. Anouk is the CEO of Accent Jobs in Belgium. Accent is a temp-to- permanent recruitment agency with the largest network of specialist branches in Belgium. What is amazing, is that Accent Jobs has been voted a Great Place to Work for 17 years in a row!
We met Anouk at the Happiness @ Work conference in Antwerpen in Belgium last year, where she gave a wonderful keynote. We liked her energy and wanted to get in touch with her.03:07 Anouk wants to create value and impact in daily lives with respect and balance for all its ecosystems. When did this appreciation for the interconnectedness started?
04:18 Why did Anouk gain a huge fascination for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TMC)?
05:27 About her love to surround herself with bright passionate people and be the catalyst so people can be at their best and flourish. Because in all business it always comes down to people who thrive.
07:30 People are gold!
08:58 Why we must change the name ‘Human Resources’ into ‘Resourceful Humans’.
09:46 There is no ‘war for talent’ because there is an abundance of talent everywhere. Growing a company is about growing people.
11:08 We now come to realize that if you want to regain talent and follow your goals as a company, you need to take care of your people. There is a rebalance going on.
12:29 How does Anouk combine purposeful leadership with profit and economics? The mission of Accent Jobs is to embrace every talent to spark joy in their lives. It’s not about creating volume but about creating value with respect to the eco-system.
15:10 Accent Jobs wants to be the ‘Apple of HR’. Accent dares to go different ways. People want to be part of Accent.
17:15 We talk about ‘inner engineering’, which is an absolute necessity as a leader. It’s about doing the inner-work, for example by working with a coach.
19:48 About authentic leadership; leading strong but with empathy and kindness. It’s yin and yang. About balancing the male and the female energy in this change of era. It’s both…and…!
23:19 Why listening to Anouk’s vision on people is music to our ears 😉
23:30 Do educators/schools/universities provide the skills companies are looking for? Society is changing so fast, and education still ingrained in old ways of working. We are still so trained on just knowledge and not enough on soft skills. So, there is a gap. Accent now has its own training company to re-skill and up-skill people.
26:35 Education should work more on unlocking the potential of people. Working on soft skills.
28:20 About the views different generations have on the world of work, especially how generation Y and Z want to live and work. Some of them are ‘slashies’. About the multipotential of all of us.
30:45 How Accent dares to reinvent itself, starting from within. And the importance of collaboration.
32:34 What does Anouk, as a parent, want for the generations to come? She thinks that the answers will be in their hands! They all want to have more quality of live. And we, as parents, agreed on that.
36:04 What is a truth Anouk can bring to the table today that not many people know about her? -
A warm welcome to another episode of ‘The Naked Truth about…Podcast’. In this episode we talk to Dr. Elia Gourgouris, …….‘The Happiness Doctor’ who is joining us from Colorado USA.
‘Happiness is a choice and a skill set’, he says.
He is on a mission to make this world a better and happier place, and help us live a more balanced and healthy life.
Dr. Elia focuses on corporate wellness, mental health, positive leadership, and building resilience and agility.
He is the Executive Producer of the Reality TV show Cash Cowboys (where he is following a group of people saving the landscape after several naturally occurring disasters) and is currently doing a new Reality TV show called The Kindness Factor. There are so many things we can do for each other, to support each other and make the world a better place!
He wrote the #1 Amazon Best-Selling book "7 Paths to Lasting Happiness!"
In his latest book, "7 Keys to Navigating a Crisis" which he co-authored with Kon Apostolopoulos, he provides insights to help minimize the negative impact of a lot of things that can happen in our lives like the pandemic, or natural disasters, financial meltdowns, or any other major disruptions in our lives.
There is so much KNOWLEDGE, TOOLS, GOOD VIBES and LAUGHTER to share in this episode. So TUNE IN!!! ………………….
02:03 Dr. Elia Gourgouris shares with us why he thinks that happiness is a choice and a skill-set.
02:55 We dive into the background of Dr. Elia.
04:35 Kindness is now more needed than ever. We need more uplifting positivity.
05:20 The 7 keys of Navigating a Crisis and the 7 Paths to Lasting Happiness books.
06:48 Dr. Beverley talks about the possibility of bringing the franchisable TV Show, The Kindness Factor to Europe and why that would be a good thing. The format is there, but we also need the finances to do it over here.
08:30 We all have been through a lot the last couple of years. We need things that unite us and uplift all of us. We have more in common than what divides us. We all want to be happy. We want that for ourselves and our children.
09:53 Why are we so lonely and unhappy in a world where we have so much! What are we lacking?
11:25 What happened with the teenage brains during the pandemic? They aged by 4 years (not matured, but aged!!!!!!).
12:22 You cannot be in a state of gratitude/happiness and being depressed at the same time. Gratitude is vital for our wellbeing. Nature is vital for our wellbeing.
13:31 We suffer from lost connections and loneliness. How can we contribute to a less lonely society? What are Dr. Elia’s thoughts on that as a clinical psychologist?
15:25 Why does Dr. Elia love to work with young people? What can we learn from them?
17:21 We talk about multi-generational-connection and why Reverse Mentoring is so important and why we should put our ego’s aside and open our hearts. ‘Heart-set’ is even more important than ‘Mind-set’.
19:01 We need a good relationship with ourselves and with the people around us. We are social beings.
20:08 The importance of self-care and doing a ‘health-check’ every month. Keep track on how you are doing in life. Please look at the Personal-Health-Assessment Dr. Elia Gourgouris created.
Please check out the Personal Health Assessment here
21:24 With toxic people in your life it is difficult to stay happy and healthy. So have HOT (Honest, Open, Transparent) conversations with the people you interact with from a place of love, not anger. We must treat each other with Love, Kindness and Respect!23:17 Can happiness truly be learned? Or is it in our genes? It is both!
24:24 On the importance of compassion, forgiving and being grateful.
26:20 There is growth when you get out of your comfort-zone.
27:22 Forgiveness equals freedom and is the attribute of strong people.
27:50 We talk about Happiness at Work and finding your purpose. But how do we deal with mental health issues at work?
30:11 Happy and healthy employees tend to be more innovative, creative, more engaged.
30:40 H30: Health and Happiness in Hospitality and in all other organizations. Because we spend so many hours at work. Let’s make it a good place to be.
32:12 Employee satisfaction is directly correlated to high turnover which is very costly. If we take care of our people in companies, employees are more loyal but also become ambassadors. They attract new people.
33:28 Why we should use the Personal Health Check more in schools and universities and help each other in area’s were we are not in a good place at the moment.
35:40 We must keep reminding ourselves of taking care of ourselves and others. The Personal Health Check is a great tool to stay on track. In life it is important to DO something with the things we know.
38:04 Is being happy also a cultural thing? Or is it our personal responsibility?
39:04 When facing a crisis, people often tend to fall into one of 4 categories of behavior: the Victim, the Critic, the Bystander, and the Navigator. All 4 of this personality-types exist in us human beings. But it is key to move the needle forward and move on, like the Navigator does.
40:48 Is self-care selfish? Is it a good thing to do, or do egoistic people use it to escape responsibility to others? It should be balanced. When my cup is full, I can take care of other people.
43:30 We are all brothers and sisters and must take care of each other. Be mindful and kind to each other.
44:00 Stillness. On the importance of listening to your own inner voice. And act upon what you hear. Connect with other people, it can make a world of difference.
46:20 Dr. Elia shares some more tips with us on how to create happiness in our lives. One of the important things is: do not procrastinate your happiness! Forget the “WHEN”. Live your best life now!
49:40 Don’t forget to laugh. It is so healthy. Find the humor in things, even in our imperfections, and let go strive toward perfectionism.
51:00 What is a truth Dr. Elia can bring to the table today? He elaborates on living his best life and contribute to the world.

Dr. Florian Besch is Founder, Managing Partner and Coach at Nevo - Training, Coaching, and Development. He is coach and facilitator at Nevo where he focuses on organisational as well as personal change processes within companies (trainees, high potentials and executives). His work spans areas of personality formation, mindfulness trainings and integral development, conflict resolution, health prevention and stress relief, appreciative company culture, team lead and management. He works quite a lot with children and 'difficult' youths especially on social competencies, violence prevention and self-assertion.
Florian is an Anthropologist specialised in medical anthropology and his research is focused on Asian medicines (Tibetan, Chinese and Indian) and alternative medicines in Germany. Florian uses adventure based counselling, and budo (Qi Gong, Tongbei Chuan, Shorinjiryu Karate-Do) in his work.He and his team won the ‘silver medal’- the second prize- , at the HR Award in Vienna -Switzerland- with an amazing tool which they use; which is called MapsTell .MapsTell is a cartographic representation of the way in which we behave, communicate and react- it’s designed to provide more insights into the differences between people…to get the best out of ourselves and the people around us.
03.39 - Florian elaborates on his studies and how he applies all his knowledge into his work.
04:09 - Florian talks about Learning as a major part of his life and that he will never stop learning. He feels he is doing makes him happy now. Started studying medicine and then left the sciences to get into Medical Anthropology, particularly Tibetian Medicine. He now work with people, help in their process of development.
07:00 - He speaks on Ancestral wisdom and inter-connectedness: There is a lot of ancestral wisdom…amongst others the indigenous people…People who lived in nature observed and connected directly with ecological systems every day. In everything they do they try to see the relationships between themselves and nature, trying to find the thread that connects the world rather than separates it. Everything is connected. 08:05 - Ancient wisdom sounds mysterious, mystical. The interconnectedness of all of us and people.Living in the Himalayas life became slow as we participate in others culture. This culture of understanding the world as is and there is no difference between us all. Feeling when others feel, understanding and feeling connectedness when others.Everything is so fast in western culture. We overlook that we are all connected, that you are in me, and me in you, and we are all a part of each other.
11: 23 - Understanding that all living systems in our universe have generative (creative), regenerative (self-sustaining) and degenerative potential.
13:31 - We should become clearer and that we feel each other no matter where we are in this world.
14:56 - Florian speaks about culture and how he grew up in Germany. We are critical here in Germany. Living outside of Germany, I get to learn my own culture more. There are 2 sides of a metal. Discipline here in Germany is one example that has helped him become who he is today. Being structured. On the other hand, he had to learn how to be more flexible, easy and loving.
17: 09 - Also, spoke about community and brotherhood: What came in my mind was my Indian friend who came to Germany and came and lived in my house. How he connected more to his friend from India than his neighbour. So community is important and we can feel brotherhood to all, no matter where we are from, according to Florian. He loves International communities that share a common ground.
21: 09 - Speaks about transformational change and the capacity needed to make these changes: - You are pointing to personal transformation. Societies transform as well. The most important ability for change is LISTENING. DEEP LISTENING. We need to listen to each other. But we often lack the ability to listen to ourselves. When we speak, we respond, immediately. But it is good to slow down and feel what is happening in us, when we hear one speak. If we want to connect, listening is the first thing. If I listen, I can hear you. Truly listening before judging what is said.Create space in which we can listen.Create more space where we can hear each other.
25:23 - Resonance. Swinging of the energy between us. Life can only succeed if we go into Resonance. Feel the swings between you and me and me, and in myself.
28: 21 - Speaks on Spirituality: Spirituality can have a negative connation. Spirituality is where we feel relationship and a bigger community and a bigger picture. Florian say he knows so many people who mediate for example for years but is no better than people who are not spiritual, for example. Having an inter-connectedness is really what makes the difference. If we do not feel our neighbour, our kids, our friends, then it is hard to feel spiritually well. Feeling self and the next person. For my personal life, I started in the Protestant Church, I know the bad things that come out of religious organisations, but it was my first space to grow. I then went in to Buddhism. Now I am more a Universalist.
33: 18 What is an experience everyone should have: TRIADS are great ways for people to grow. Meeting people we do not know and those we have a negative impression of, and really listening where they speak from. Those moments when we have negative, impression of someone, really taking time to listen to this person first before making judgements. That could really help us. That is something I think we need to have to change.
38: 07 – Florian, speaking on likely path forward and on his greatest wish and a cultural norm that he would change: That we would all learn how to connect to listening and become curious about others and what others have to say. To approach life with a certain amount of naivety. Not taking ourselves so serious. To be humble in our approach, as we meet others. There is a lot of richness out there , so we need to become interested in meeting and learning from each other. Treasuring that listening moment. Curiosity in Learning.
Being is RESONANCE IS KEY. -
