ExploreMe

ExploreMe tests the commercial leadership of professionals based on scientific knowledge from psychology, neuroscience, behavioral economics and epigenetics. With the results of these tests we offer you tools to gain insight into yourself, or as we like to call it: to investigate or explore yourself.

Man is not a fixed being, but is capable of changing himself through learning. Central to this is the development of resilience. This means that people are able to become mentally stronger by taking on challenges, because resilience can only develop by experiencing challenges and setbacks. The central question we ask is not who you are, but how by developing the five fundamental ICCCT skills you can become mentally more resilient, which in turn increases your success as a professional knowledge broker.

In short: you will be able to discover yourself by taking this test. Hence, we invite you to discover and explore yourself. Remember, human behavioral is not deterministic, but people are capable of changing themselves and improve their capabilities. When you have insights in your capabilities, you will be able to change yourself and learn because we assume that you seek to achieve your own career which is seeking a higher position on the long-tail.

Our book "The resilient professional" (only available in Dutch)  describes the theory behind ExploreMe and also provides strategies which improves your professional leadership capabilities. Author Professor Willem Verbeke Ph.D. (right in the photo) is emeritus professor at the Erasmus University, Rotterdam. Verbeke did research about the human brain which allowed him to write impactful papers on neuro-economics/neuro-marketing. In addition he is co-owner of Professional Capital B.V. Rotterdam.
