Joppe Quaedvlieg

”By expressing ourselves in such a way that the other can understand us, and to be able to listen with making the other feel heard, we create, maintain and evolve connection. We, eventually, build something bigger than we could have done by ourselves. This is what Joppe has practiced his whole life, every second, of every hour, of every day. In the end people became a language of their own to him. A language he learned to speak, physically perform and understand in body, mind and soul. 

Joppe has invented a tool to help you dig up from your heart and soul why you do what you do. He calls this tool DESCRIPTIVE COMMUNICATION. It is a NEW method to streamline your approach to assigning tasks, removing guess work, and creating clear strategies – all based on firmly visualizing your goals before taking action. Description Communication is the main tool behind his company called Articula.”
