“Before leading, make time to listen”: Dorien Sterckx on joining Isabel
When Dorien Sterckx joined Isabel, responsible for Marketing and Communication in March, she brought with her a broad range of experiences across communication, marketing, partnerships and consultancy. After working in organisations of very different sizes and sectors, she was looking for a role that would allow her to bring those experiences together, while continuing to learn. Almost six months later, we sat down with Dorien to talk about what attracted her to Isabel, her first weeks as a new manager, and why curiosity, listening and giving people time can make all the difference when starting a new chapter.
