My name is Esther de Munnik, founder of Bending Perspective. I enjoy leading a varied life and seek diversity in both my professional life as well as privately. I am curious by heart and enjoy exploring, by travelling and getting to know the local authentic life, or by doing something that I have never done before. I once started working as a barista, and still enjoy doing this on a regular base!

It’s in my nature to seek clarity, challenge status quo and focus on adding value. I believe in a world full of chances & opportunities, I don’t let myself get distracted by limiting aspects. I look at situations from a different perspective, this often leads to fun & challenging conversations and makes me an ideal sparring partners for customers and colleagues. If you’re in need of a different perspective, then you’ll need someone that experiences the world differently!

My strength lies within my urge to seek logic and provide perspective in the why behind a situation. Why do we do the things we do? What are we focusing on? One of my greatest drivers is adding value. I believe that happiness & satisfaction come from giving; being of value to others. I feel that in the professional landscape the best organisations and individuals are the ones that add massive value.  Whether it is innovation, growth, leading teams, process development or customer service, it all comes down to the same from my perspective. Focus on adding value and understanding market needs. Ideas will flow from there and can be translated into actions. Once this is the focus, a broad spectrum of opportunities & ideas will open up for the organisation to develop in.

My experience as a sparring partner and the impact of a strong foundation have brought me on a mission to empower organisations & individuals. I am convinced that lives & workplaces become more meaningful when driven by adding value. And, to add value, you need a strong foundation!
