Hopeless<\/h3>\n

Yes, sorry friend, but this is hopeless.
\nMy schedule is packed, people are expecting me, and besides, I’m on my way to a party I’m really looking forward to… He asks me to think about it for a moment. <\/p>\n

Driving on the highway, I employ a few mental tools.
\nI look ahead with hindsight. If I’m a year from now and I haven’t done this, will I regret it? Yes, probably. <\/p>\n

I quickly call my wife and a few teams that are expecting me, they all react surprisingly positively and think it’s an opportunity I shouldn’t pass up.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text max_width=”700″]Jehury calls back, I indicate that I see possibilities and then things move quickly…
\nIt’s now 2023 and soon the VIP edition of season 7 will start, and I’ll be seen as one of the hunters in the TV program Hunted where viewers get an insight into how a special investigation unit searches for fugitives.<\/p>\n

What’s the moral of the story?<\/h3>\n

Often things go differently than you expect, the art is to deal with this, recognize opportunities and seize them when they come your way. In other words, what choice do you make at a crossroads in your life? <\/p>\n

Additionally, it’s important to have people around you who believe in you, whom you can trust, and that we grant each other opportunities. Besides our work, sport is an excellent teacher in this area.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit”

My name is Michael Kortekaas and perhaps we’ve met during my career in the Government or later in the business world.<\/p>\n

With a background in CIOS and Sports Academy, I worked for 12.5 years for the Police and Defense, and now I’ve been on stage for more than 10 years as a trainer – speaker on Mental Resilience<\/a> for many different target groups.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”see-through-2″ hover_text_color_override=”#ffffff” icon_family=”none” text=”Read more about Michael as a speaker” url=”https:\/\/michaelkortekaas.nl\/en\/speaker\/keynote-speaker-mental-resilience-strength” css_animation=”fadeInLeft”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text max_width=”700″]\n

About Hunted<\/h3>\n

Hunted is a Dutch TV-program in which 12 people go on the run and have to stay out of the hands of a special investigation unit for 3 weeks. It’s a social experiment that taps into the discussion about privacy. Is it still possible to stay under the radar in the Netherlands?[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text max_width=”700″]Visit Hunted website<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner
