About me

What could be worse than to have to describe yourself on a webpage? What does the reader want to read and what does the researcher want to find? Let me take the easy way out and use someone else’s description of me.

Inge Blauw, Director Centre for Communication and Journalism of the University of Professional Education Utrecht writes:

Suzanne is a somewhat overwhelming personality who takes you along with her enthusiasm. She has the working power and insight to turn enthusiastic plans into concrete deliverables. She often gives impulses to the weaker side of the organisation with no other goal then to push the organisation into better working processes. In the years that Suzanne worked for CCJ she developed trainings, created educational plans, coached teachers on their didactical qualities, proposed improvements to the organization, established commercial elements in the organisation and she performed trainings. All her activities were geared towards knowledge circulation and connecting people’s (teachers, colleagues and managers) and coaching within her own environment. Everything, which is targeted towards professionalising the organization. Her energy and creativity combined with her expertise, guarantees an organisation ready to move into a new phase.

Professor Dr. C.B.M. van Riel, of the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University Rotterdam, gave the following speech at my graduation as Master Corporate Communications (MCC) on 1 July 2005.

“You are one of the most special people of the past 7 years in the MCC programme. Because of your education, your broad and diverse career but most of all your active participation in a network of international scientists involved in researching the wide kaleidoscope of problems related to time. Why follow a programme such as MCC at this moment in your life and career? One of the explanations of your choice for this course is your dedication to pursue scientific education. You certainly succeeded in that. You started with a mark 10 for the Foundations and continued to produce papers that were far above average. In your thesis you combined the present and future effectively by using your old love (time) with your new love (organizational identity) in a story on the profiling process around art library organisations. You are capable of searching deep into the theory, add your own criteria and subsequently use this knowledge in practice. I hope you can keep this up for a long time to come and congratulate you wholeheartedly with the successful completion of the Master of Corporate Communication course”.
