Reviews 4Challenge
"Margreet (4Challenge) possesses a remarkable talent for replicating real-life situations in a safe environment and drawing lessons in the realm of selection and/or collaboration. With an accessible and decisive style, she quickly discerns how a team or organization operates and which (critical) points require attention. With great creativity and imagination, she outlines a program in which these points are addressed, or even magnified. By sketching a lifelike situation, participants quickly forget that they are part of a simulated reality. This offers a unique opportunity to observe how (critical) points manifest and to explore areas for improvement. From Margreet, you can expect clear and constructive insights during and after the program regarding structures, attitudes, and behaviors in collaboration. Often, this provides clarity, inspiration, and enthusiasm to make improvements." (translated)

"Margreet has a unique ability to make the abstract concrete and the intangible tangible. Effective collaboration between parties is not automatic but is a prerequisite for achieving joint success. With her experience and conviction, Margreet makes it clear that there's no escaping it; we must adjust our attitudes and behaviors. In Perceel 3 (landside accessibility of Schiphol), over the past 5 years, we've made significant progress in Strategic Partnership with Schiphol with Margreet's guidance."

"Working with simulations is a wonderful way to offer experiential learning in our consulting practice. Since we regularly facilitate organizational changes, the simulations we've developed with Margreet provide a great opportunity to experience and live through the intended changes in collaboration, roles, and leadership. Based on these experiences, we can adjust the intended changes where necessary, fostering ownership among the stakeholders. In my collaboration with Margreet, I've repeatedly experienced that experiencing and trying out an intended change yields very different insights than discussing it based on plans and organizational charts. Experience teaches you quickly: 'Better an oops than a what if.' Margreet is highly creative in designing a good simulation, always focusing on creating a safe environment, as realistic a setting as possible, a bit of time pressure, and sometimes incorporating game elements to keep it light-hearted. What I also appreciate about Margreet's approach is that the debriefing is prepared just as seriously as the simulation itself. This ensures that we achieve maximum impact with the event. And finally, it's very pleasant and inspiring to work with Margreet. She's quick to adapt, highly creative, customer-oriented, and has a good sense of humor."

"Margreet is a professional, energetic, and connecting woman who makes difficult subjects discussable and 'experiencable' in a pleasant manner. Her developed games serve as a great instrument for this purpose. Through her unique perspective and her willingness, drive, and quality to truly understand others, she brings about a refreshing (re)start and improvement of collaborations."

"Margreet is an incredibly warm, sympathetic, intelligent, and positive-minded individual. This combination of qualities is remarkable and necessary to establish and sustain a company like 4Challenge.
In her work, I find her to be very goal-oriented; she truly wants to make a difference, which requires a tremendous amount of energy and thoughtful approaches with a keen sense of empathy for her target audience. She navigates the intersection of an idealist and realist adeptly, which is truly a gift. Personally, I am wary of companies that make grand claims but fail to deliver. I believe we share this aversion."
