As a doctor of psychology Elke held academic positions at the universities of Harvard, St. Andrews, Maastricht, Rotterdam and recently Ghent. She wanted to spread her scientific knowledge broadly and therefore founded Better Minds at Work in 2014. Elke aspires to a ‘mental revolution’, in which the entire team of Better Minds at Work spreads indispensable knowledge about mental resilience across all sectors, functions, generations and cultures.

Although Elke is best known as a keynote speaker and author (of, among others, Better Minds and Focus is the New Gold), she is first and foremost a conversation partner for each client and knows how to translate psychological insights into fresh and accessible day-to-day applications for individuals and organisations.
