‘Personality has the power to open many doors, but character must keep them open’

Gonnie Been • Manager Communications at Microsoft NL :
Is? Is Is Is? Ik vind Is bijzonder omdat ze open en oprecht is en ze door de ogen van een ander kan kijken. En durft te kijken. En ook mag van haarzelf. En het wil omdat ze daardoor verrast wordt in de breedste zin van het woord. Soms komt ze daardoor in tweestrijd met haarzelf. En dat is de basis van haar creativiteit. Fijn mens!

‘When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be’

Monique Koopman • CCO at Perry Sport :
‘In her own very ‘IS’ way she is connecting people & activates projects. She is also is a multiplatform storyteller, Event & Community manager, Blogger. Over lunch I could feel that Isrid is and will be succesfull because she understands that the basis of life is freedom; the result of life is expansion-and the purpose of life if joy.  Try book a meeting with her and you’ll find out why and how she can add joy to your bussiness.’

Melody Biringer • Owner at The CRAVE Company & Startup Junkie :
‘I met Isrid on Twitter and knew instantly we were like-minded and I needed to know her. Our first in-person meeting was a delight and felt like we had known each other for years. We both have entrepreneurial blood pulsing in our veins. I talked her into working on the CRAVE Amsterdam project with me because I knew she could curate the perfect business women to feature and she did not disappoint. I look forward to collaborating on future projects!’

Reginald Elstak • MD at WaterWise & HeyWorld & dear ‘wise’ friend :
‘Is is a straight forward diehard. A no nonsense, talented, visionary woman. Innovating and powerfull. Great friend and sparring-partner , always creating inmense partner/collegue loyalty. Very trend sensitive. When she really starts, fasten your seatbelt. You can’t beat her, so be wise: Join her.’

‘Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love’

Miranda van der Werf • HR Manager at Adidas International :
‘I strongly recommend Isrid van Geuns. She is a very strong communicator, realistic in expectations and her passion in what she is doing really makes the difference. Her creative approach is absolutely a very pleasant thing for me when we do business. I hope that she will be very successfull with her new own company and I am hoping we keep on working together in the future.’

Ben & Riet van Geuns • My parents & retired living on Texel :
We kunnen ons nog goed herinneren, hoe jong Isrid was, dat ze bij ons thuis achter de naaimachine zat en een eigen kleding collectie maakte. Ze kon meer, óók haar eigen kamer “top” restylen. Een gave? Natuurlijk, het zijn maar 2 voorbeelden, maar Isrid had zo veel meer in haar mars. We vinden het heel bijzonder een dochter te hebben met een aangeboren gevoel voor creativiteit. Lieve Isrid, veel succes, we zijn trots op je! Pa & Ma.

Yvonne van Dormaël • Owner at YVD & friend:
‘Since Isrid started IS WORKS I really believe that she is doing what she’s best at: inspiring, connecting, (co-)creating, innovating, communicating, and organizing. Isrid is a wonderful, spirited, strong personality that is doing what we all should do: ‘find your lifework in the work that you love’. It’s a privilege to be friends with Isrid and enjoy her positive, genuine approach of live!’

‘The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes’

Noor Bongers • Owner at Noor Bongers onderneemt & Pionier at Great Place to Live :
‘Isrid brings confidence and pleasure into a group that wants to innovate. She focusses on the highest ambitions and brings with a clear insight the next step, while wandering around in the arguments and ‘signals of moving’ in the group. Pleasure to work with!’

Albert Foppen • Sales & Marketing manager at Carhartt :
‘Isrid is a detail-orientated manager who watches the balance sheet like a hawk without even losing sight of her strategic objectives. You, we and of course I are in capable hands with Isrid. I therfore strongly recommend Isrid due to her passion for fashion, dedication and positive spirit which also will help me in the future.’

Madelon Dik-Peek • Owner at Intercase :
‘Isrid is a good presenter! For 20 entrepreneurs -at Entre Femmes, Network Utrecht- Isrid did an inspiring presentation! She presented her well thought business model of IS WORKS. Theme of the presentation was how to build a succesful business and make use of New Media. It was an educating, humorous, solid and authentic performance! Many thanks to Isrid.”
