“I do not like writing, but I love to sing. Besides, not many people have the time for reading, but they do listen to a CD in the car.” And so it came about that Brigitte Paulissen made the CD Free Energy, recording songs about everyday life in the office. Her favorite song is called ‘Hold On’. She explains: “I wrote this song for The Hunger Project.” The Hunger Project supports people to find their strength to build a future without hunger.
Paulissen is a trainer and a coach. Her premise is that you need other people to do what you must do. That is what gives you energy! Free energy is what we all want, isn’t it? Her songs relate to situations in the working environment: meetings, listening and emotions, ambivalent ambitions in your job, following your own insights, unexpected ways in which you may get inspired. And then, when little things succeed, that’s when you feel it … free energy!
Brigitte’s motto: free energy through powerful encounters. That motto did not just come out of the blue. She used to be the worrying type rather than the sharing type of person. But that did not give her the right energy. Studying, feedback, introspection as well as having a supportive home front made changes possible for her. Now she shares her experiences in business, to the effect that teams have increasingly powerful encounters and thus experience free energy.
