Hi, I'm Gert-Jan.
A professional playbird with a mission: to make people play again so that they really find each other again.
I bring together play birds of different feathers - coaches, artists, facilitators and thinkers. Each with their own talent and outlook.
Why?
Because play opens up something you rarely achieve with yet another meeting: real connection and better results. Game as an end, and as a means.
That's why I started Mossels from Brossels.
To make play the norm.

My role? The glue - and the play bird that sets it in motion.
I listen to what is really going on and build the bridge between fun and purpose.
With humour and playfulness, I make difficult topics negotiable and link your challenge to the right play birds.
Always bespoke. Always with impact.
