You’ve been handed one of the most complex challenges in business: leading transformation across teams, countries, and cultures. The expectations are immense. The support? Often minimal.
The Transformation Leader Accelerator is 6 months of intensive mentorship with someone who has lived this role for 20 years, so you can learn what actually works, applied to your real transformation challenge.
You’re expected to speak marketing’s language, technology’s language, finance’s language, often in the same meeting. You’re building teams across functions that have never worked together before. You’re securing budget for initiatives most people don’t fully understand. You’re managing stakeholders with competing priorities. And you’re doing all of this while the clock is ticking and everyone is watching to see if you’ll deliver.
It’s exhausting. And most leaders in this role feel like they’re figuring it out as they go.
Navigating organizational politics while securing the resources you actually need
Building cross-functional teams in cultures built around silos
Speaking to executives who expect confidence when you're figuring things out yourself
Driving change that lasts beyond your project timeline
This 6-month program is for transformation leaders who are ready to invest in becoming exceptional at what they do.
You’re the transformation leader: 8-15 years of experience, recently given transformation responsibility, and you know you need frameworks that actually work
You’re the executive sponsor: Investing in a rising star who will drive your organization’s most critical changes
You’re building capability: HR or L&D leader developing transformation expertise that stays inside your organization
This isn’t consulting where someone else does the work. This is mentorship. You lead your transformation with someone who has done this for 20 years guiding you through every challenging moment.
Months 1-2: Launch Your Transformation — On-site kickoff where we map your stakeholders, understand your challenge, and build your roadmap. You’ll learn how to secure executive sponsorship and get the resources you need.
Months 3-4: Build Momentum — You’ll lead your first major workshops (with coaching), establish your team’s rhythm, and navigate the politics that come with cross-functional work. Remote support throughout.
Months 5-6: Lead Independently — By now, you’re driving change with confidence. We focus on C-suite communication, handling resistance, and ensuring what you build lasts long after the program ends.
Throughout: Real-Time Support — 24-hour response access when you need guidance, plus a network of leaders facing similar transformation challenges.
From someone who’s been where you are
We’ve spent 20 years leading transformations across retail, telecom, and hospitality brands in Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. We know what it feels like to be the only person in the room who speaks both business and technology. To fight for budget when no one fully understands what you’re building. To manage stakeholders across cultures while everyone expects you to have all the answers.
We learned through trial and error what most leaders never get taught. This program is everything I wish someone had given me 15 years ago, the frameworks, the confidence, and the guidance to do this work exceptionally well.
From someone who’s been where you are
This program is led by Loek Berendsen, CEO & Founder of Vivencia. For 20 years, he has bridged worlds from Amsterdam to Dubai to Singapore to Sydney, leading transformation initiatives that required navigating complexity most people never see.
This isn’t someone teaching from a textbook. You’re working with someone who lived this role, made these mistakes, and discovered what actually works. Someone who deeply understands what you’re facing because they’ve been there, and who is genuinely invested in your success.
