about Jelle 
Jelle likes to be at high altitude in the mountains. He loves the physical and mental challenges that come with setting the goal of conquering higher mountain peaks. The right mindset is required for this. Auto-motivation, self-discipline, critical self-reflection, risk-based thinking, learning from mistakes, collaboration… are essential skills. Successfully summitting a mountain gives enormous satisfaction and boosts self-confidence. When a mountain summit is not reached, resilience and perspective are required to deal with the setback. After all, nature always wins. This also requires a positive mindset. Mountaineering provides inspiration to achieve goals in the business world. Perseverance is a necessary quality for both a climber and a manager and requires the right mindset.
