our story

Make life work

Gump was founded on the belief that life isn’t just something that happens to you. Life is a verb. It’s about being aware of yourself, making courageous choices, and taking powerful action. Be responsible with your time, energy, talents and actions. Put into life what truly matters.

From this philosophy, we design and guide powerful development journeys that truly make an impact; in the content, in the process, and in the people themselves. We do this together. With organisations, with participants, and with each other.

That is our essence. That is conscious leadership. That is 'Make life work'.

GUMPTION

“To be able to control your life, you also have to dare to move”

“The ability to decide what is the best thing to do in a particular situation, and to do it with energy and determination.”

TEAM

We are Gump

Who do you want to meet?

Tymon Geul

Make fun. Not as a fleeting search for pleasure. Happiness through personal growth, development and meaning. Eudaimonia, as Aristotle so beautifully called it.

In daily life, I find joy in sports, games, music and dance. A padel match, silent disco or playing the handpan. You can count me in.

I love my work when people start moving. When the energy increases in head, heart, body and soul. You want to experience it. I invite you to raise your consciousness. So that we can play the game we call life.

I am Gump.

Make it grow. Where is room for development and enrichment? The search for these answers is what drives me — as a person. That is why I like nothing better than facilitating others to grow and use their true potential. That's why I like to create and facilitate development programs that matter, that give meaning and contribute practically.

And fortunately, such a process of growth does not go off the beaten path, but rather through the unexpected moments in our (working) lives that challenge, connect or inspire us. Personally, I like to be inspired by music, dance or theater. And I also like to contribute creatively.

Are you looking for ways to develop as a person or organization? Or are you looking for a sparring partner when it comes to being human? Let's continue talking. I am Gump.

Make it clear. That's what matters to me! By providing insight. By making what feels big smaller and clearer. Or simply by listening. When something becomes clear, space is created. Space to explore what it's really about. Space to move very consciously.

I create and find clarity in good conversations and prefer to have these outside. In the woods or on the beach. With your head in the wind, the sun or even the rain. The moment something becomes clear is magical to me every time. It brings a smile to your face or brings a sigh of relief. And then nothing stands in the way of taking a step forward.

Do you also need clarity? And what about the space to move very consciously? Then you can knock on my door. I am Gump.

Anouk Delissen

Make a story. Together, alone, with people, with animals. A story connects. It arouses my curiosity and I want to hear it all the time. There is a message in every story and everyone has a unique story. By sharing those stories, you not only connect with others, but also with yourself.

I love listening to a child's playful story, who challenges me to think outside the box. But also to the wise lessons from elderly, who give me a new perspective on my own life path. Your personal story is a powerful tool for growth. It tells who you are, where you come from and what drives you. By exploring your story, you'll discover your potential in the unexpected moments that challenge, connect, or inspire you.

Ready to discover your own story? Or, as a leader, do you want to create new stories that inspire and connect your team? I would love to capture the essence of your story. Let's have a conversation. I am Gump.

Jan-Jaap Lukas

Make a move. That's what I'm going for. Outside of work as a runner and during the Gump programs as a booster for our participants. Whatever your motives, as long as you get moving. Without movement, it is much more difficult to steer.

However, I know better than anyone that you often have to stop first to choose a new direction and only then can really accelerate again. In fact, my children taught me that you don't necessarily have to leave your seat for the biggest leaps forward. They move me more than I could ever move them.

If you need a new direction or want to get moving more quickly on your new course, I'm here for you. Rain or shine. I am Gump.

Maja Neuteboom

Make attention. I think it's important to do things with attention. Everything in life, really. That does not mean that there is little action orientation, quite the contrary! It means that I do things consciously, with conviction and trust.

You will certainly see this in my work. The things that really matter... small or big, easy or difficult.. do it consciously and with attention. Enjoying the process, but certainly achieving results. Preferably together, because that's what I like better.

I am curious, decisive and like to move. The journey of personal development takes a different route for everyone. Destination unknown? Probably yes. But when you're at the helm, giving direction and having fun along the way, that's not so bad, right? I am very curious about your journey. I am Gump.

Willemijn Grasveld - van Selms

Make a connection. With yourself, and, of course, with each other. That's what drives me and what I help others with. As the middle of a large family, I've always felt the need to connect and that's where I ultimately found my passion at work.

From connection to growth. Because as a person, how can you challenge, grow, develop yourself if you are not connected to what you find important?

I am curious, practical and energetic and use my own vulnerability when working with individuals or teams. In addition, I challenge you to go out of your comfort zone and really take action.

Ultimately, I believe that every person already has what it takes to achieve their goals — curious how you can do this? I'm here for you to help! I am Gump.

Matthijs Loop

Make sense. Or rather, make sure it makes sense. We give meaning to our life. TThat is not self-evident. This search is a common thread through my life.

From pointless to meaningful. Becoming aware of the meaning in myself and the world around me. Be aware. That gives confidence, peace and strength. It's all for a reason. There is something. Don't ask me what it is, it can't be put into words. Or rather... ask it anyway, because that often leads to the most beautiful conversations.

Do you ever get touched by the realization “darn I'm alive!” and do you shed a tear from bliss? I do. Those are great moments.

Do you feel like it? Or should we create that together? Nothing pretentious, mind you, I'm just curious to know what inspires you. I'm Gump.

Make steps. Not just the literal steps we're taking at Gump. Although it has been proven that moving in nature helps to look at life with a fresh and open mind. For me, taking steps goes beyond that. It's about personal growth.

I believe in the power of trying. Of course, you can firstly consider the steps carefully, but ultimately it's about doing it — and making adjustments along the way.

My passion lies in discovering together how to get the most out of life. By experimenting, trying new things together and occasionally stopping to reflect, we always get ahead. At Gump, my drive and vision are perfectly aligned: we always take steps, big or small, in the right direction and at our own pace.

Ready to turn your dreams into concrete plans? I am Gump.

Anouk Soetens - van Baal

Make movement. Movement in the head, body and heart - that's what it's really about for me. Always paying attention to the present moment.
Often, we rush forward, looking for new places and new experiences. While the deepest journey of discovery is a journey inward. To our own thoughts, feelings, and desires. Then you will experience what really moves you. Or what might just get moving again.

For me, it's also about moving head and heart together. Integrate thinking and feeling. Making conscious choices from a place of trust in ourselves. And then take decisive steps forward.

I like to do this with sharpness and gentleness. Sharpness, because I believe in the clarity that comes when we understand the essence of things. Gentleness, because growth can only happen from a place of trust and compassion. That's when real movement happens - not just physically, but on a deeper level too.

I am very curious to find out what moves you. Or perhaps we can get moving together. I am Gump.

Make a connection. With yourself and the people around you. With the past, present and future. With your environment, nature and different cultures and perspectives. So that it enriches and inspires you, gets you moving but can also make you stand still.

Easy? Certainly not always. And I'm speaking from my own experience. It requires openness and curiosity, it can be confronting. And that's where it's going to be fun! Because then it's about something, then you give meaning, then you grow as a person and with you the people around you.

Are you (not) in the mood? To go next level and take new steps from a connection? To get moving or to accelerate movement? Then I am your connection. I am Gump.

Gijsbert Bary

Make a difference. Through focus and flow. That sums it all up for me. Getting started based on clear, concrete choices, both on my own and with others. I made that choice myself. From a successful career in the financial sector to following my purpose at Gump.

To create moments in which you can make your own choices and to help you put them into action. That's the beauty of Gump: you are the chef, the ingredients, the pans, and the recipe all rolled into one. And it doesn't matter whether you can cook or not, together we can always create something, and believe me, that always brings a smile to the faces of the people you make it for and, perhaps even more importantly, to your own.

Do you want to work on your own development? To really get started based on clear choices? To make a difference? Then I'm here for you. I'm already curious about your story. I'm Gump.

Make life. A winterly cold dip in the sea, hike in the mountains or run through the rain. That's when I feel alive. Live, and let live too. People, animals and nature. That's what I'm committed to.

When do you feel alive? I'm curious about what you live for. Twinkle in your eyes, forgetting of time. Organize your life in such a way that it's right for you. Choose your life course consciously. Whether life can be made? Not always. But let's take on the challenge of making the most of it.

Walking and outside, that's how I take you out of your normal environment. Out into nature. Because change brings you to life. I am Gump.

Helder maken. Dat is waar het voor mij om gaat!

Door een inzicht aan te reiken. Door wat groots voelt kleiner en overzichtelijker te maken. Of door simpelweg te luisteren. Waar iets helder wordt, ontstaat ruimte. Ruimte om te verkennen waar het echt om gaat. Ruimte om heel bewust in beweging te komen. Helderheid creëer én vind ik onder andere in goede gesprekken. Het liefst voer ik die buiten. In het bos of op het strand. Met het hoofd in de wind, de zon of zelfs de regen. Het moment dat iets helder wordt, ervaar ik elke keer weer als magisch. Het tovert een glimlach op het gezicht of levert een zucht van verlichting op. En dan staat niets meer in de weg van een stap voorwaarts.

Ook behoefte aan helderheid? En aan de ruimte om heel bewust in beweging te komen? Dan mag je bij mij aankloppen. Ik ben Gump.

Conscious leadership is for everyone. That’s why we believe our programmes shouldn’t be limited to just the happy few. With Gump for each other, we team up with foundations and corporate partners to make this possible!
