Anouk Doore, former athlete and driving force behind PACE

Ski alpinist, ultra runner and a source of inspiration

Anouk is one of few Belgians who has practised ski mountaineering at the highest level. As the only woman, she finished in the top 5 of La Grande Course in 2018, the ranking of the toughest international ski mountaineering competitions.

Even today, she often spends her free time in athletic shoes, walking in the fields or on a climbing rope on her way to a mountain peak.

Anouk’s mission?

To bring her love for outdoor sports and her passion for an energetic lifestyle to business. There’s nothing she loves more than inspiring people and nudging them into action by bringing people together and building bridges between processes, systems and colleagues, centring her work around sustainable transformations and long-term behaviour change.

Sustainability and change consultant

After completing her education in Applied Social and Cultural Studies and Economics, Anouk worked as a consultant and manager in small and large consulting companies for more than 10 years. She evolved from auditing to process, quality and organisation management, where she kept coming back to the conclusion that people are the driving force behind any transformation and that a sustainable approach is essential.

Catherine De Bruyne

Catherine originally trained as a bio-engineer out of a desire to understand the world better and holds an MBA degree. Since then, she has started a deep process of personal development while completing training on group dynamics, leadership, gestalt therapy, psychodrama, systemic coaching and constellation work.

Catherine draws the most energy and joy from supporting organisations as they strengthen human relationships and increase psychosocial safety so that what needs to be said is said. She mediates conflicts between employees, between employees and managers, and within (management) teams. She facilitates various change and group processes and, depending on the context, uses methods such as Theme-centred interaction, Deep Democracy, large group interventions, non-violent communication (NVC), Theory U and solution-oriented work.

Also a guest lecturer at Odisee (KU Leuven), Catherine has over 20 years of experience as a trainer in various organisations ranging from production companies and multilateral organisations to social profit organisations.
