“We did not yet have a Grade B leadership development program in place. However, it’s our biggest Grade population so investing in their development is a key priority for us. Together with COURIUS we created Be the Future, an immersive and experiential talent acceleration program for our High Potentials/High Performers, designed to increase self-awareness of participants enabling them to unfold and empower their professional impact. This investment enables employees to build their network and design their career to fulfil their aspirations at Capgemini.
The program results clearly show those that complete it are more likely to stay and progress their careers with Capgemini, we’ve seen a definite increase in employee retention and over 80% of program participants have been successfully promoted with 18 months. Which is an amazing achievement.”
Pam Mandair, UK Talent Manager at Capgemini
“The MaastrichtMBA is an executive MBA program aimed at working professionals worldwide. Many students choose this two-year, part-time executive master’s program because of its emphasis on leadership development. The combination of business education with coaching initiates significant growth. COURIUS is one of the contributors to the executive MBA, participating in both the course curriculum and the Leadership Development Trajectory. The business coaches support the students over two years in three ways: through one-on-one coaching, buddy coaching, and group coaching. This continuous reflection challenges the executive MBA students to step out of their comfort zones and experiment with new behaviors, which helps them advance their personal effectiveness and develop leadership skills to better lead their teams and organizations through strategic change.“
Ron Jacobs, MBA Director Maastricht University
“As a business sponsor for Leading with influence, the leadership program for mid-career candidates at Cosun, I ensure that the program aligns with business practice and vice versa. When I took on the role of business sponsor, the frameworks for Leading with influence had been established. We then jointly developed the program. COURIUS makes a proposal for a module, we check if that meets the needs of the participants and the business, we finalize the content, and listen to everyone’s experiences afterwards. Was it what the participants needed? Which parts resonated, which didn’t? Does it align with their daily and future practice? This way, we keep each other sharp on the content of the program. And the result is impressive. The participants are really very positive about Leading with influence. I have seen very few programs that the group was so enthusiastic about.”
Maikel van Bakel, Board Member Aviko, Managing Director Aviko Rixona
“The Teamenergy measurement is scientifically validated and research-based and therefore provides objectivity. We also appreciated Marco’s personal approach and clear communication, along with his experience and proven results with other companies. Our sessions were continuously adjusted based on the team’s energy and input. COURIUS truly provided flexibility and customization.”
“We are increasingly working from a common interest by setting collective goals instead of individual ones. The team contract helps ensure that intentions and behaviours align and that we can address each other constructively when necessary. This fosters positive energy, leading to a better-functioning team and keeping people motivated to contribute to the company results. A new way of collaborating and leading emerged – more open and based on trust. And from a business perspective, we finally see positive growth for the first time in a long while!”
Ben Peuten, Vice President, Nordson Nonwovens
“I had the opportunity to meet my executive coach during my leadership development trajectory as well as several times during a leadership week. He is a very gentle, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and energetic person. He becomes even more energized when others move towards and reach their goals. He also has a special and unique ability to trigger undiscovered potential (more than others) and he made me think deeply, and guide me with small but impactful steps. I would highly recommend him for any leadership trajectory, team /individual coaching, or motivational speaking assignments.”
Noud van der Locht, Executive MBA Graduate
“When I joined Cosun, my task was to reshape the development programs and advance them. We wanted to design all programs in a consistent way, with a clear link to the strategy and our leadership model. And collaborate with external parties with a lot of expertise, instead of individual trainers. For Leading with influence, the program for mid-career candidates, we chose to collaborate with COURIUS. Besides bringing in expertise and tools for leadership development, an important reason for working with them – and still enjoying the collaboration – is that we wanted a program that closely aligns with our company’s culture and business. With what is happening and what we find important. That way of thinking and working fits perfectly with COURIUS.”
Masja Schmitz, Talent Manager at Cosun
“The Teamenergy approach has helped us to increase the organization’s agility. Our communication has changed: there is more dialogue and a greater willingness to listen to each other. There is also more structured discussion about customer needs and solutions that everyone can support. Team members feel safe to speak up when they encounter challenges and need help. More people now see the importance of developing our ‘soft skills.’ There’s still room for improvement, but we’re all on the right track.”
“During the sessions with Marco, we really went deep, addressing emotions and sensitivities that previously remained unspoken. Marco was able to tailor his approach entirely to our team. He helped us reflect on ourselves, our personal skills, and our working methods. And most importantly, he created a safe environment and challenged us to speak up more. He truly helped us develop a new mindset within our organization.”
Christian Ahle, HR Director, Nordson Nonwovens
“COURIUS’ presentations are straight to the point and with a deep awareness from an unseen perspective. They are confronting, interactive and fun. I especially like the practicality of the insights which makes them easy to apply. I took away a lot of new learnings which I have used to open up new paths in my professional career and to create deeper connections in my personal life. His presence is calm and powerful, inviting me to look inwards and reflect on who I am and what’s important in life.”
Paul Sing ACC – Director of Business Development at Reehal style ; Associate Certified Coach
“At first, I wondered what I would gain from business coaching in terms of leadership experience, since I had never experienced it before. My coach understood my doubts, shared his own story, which created a sense of similarity and trust, and asked insightful questions without giving answers or advice. His approach made me think about my leadership style and showed me that I could do things differently. Occasionally, he gave me exercises, such as mapping out my polarities.
Initially, I didn’t see their importance, but after a year, I realized that it was exactly what I needed. In essence, my coach helped me understand my strengths and weaknesses and guided me to work on them at the right pace. After my initial skepticism, I was grateful for the coaching after two years. It had a profound impact on me, both professionally and in my personal life.“
Ahlem Chanteloup-Salma, Sales Director Emerson
“Attending the Be the Future programme has been a key milestone in my Capgemini development. The in person section of the Programme was incredibly productive. The facilitators masterfully created an environment which managed to be both warm and encouraging whilst also pushing participants out of their comfort zones. The preparatory work and the follow on sessions online following the in person sessions offered the chance for self reflection and reinforced the lessons learnt at Les Fontaines.
The outcome of attending the course has been both an increased self awareness and a better understanding of those around me, helping me to identify colleague’s working styles and how best to communicate and lead others. I have not only taken the learnings from Be the Future into my current client engagement, but it has also helped me clarify the path for my future development.
Overall, attending this course has been a massive growth opportunity and one I would encourage anyone to take if they are given the chance”.
Hannah Runga, Enterprise Model & Strategy Consultant Capgemini Invent
“I had the pleasure to follow the International Leadership week, organized by the Institute of Leadership and Management. One of the most fascinating sessions was delivered by Marco Buschman, followed by a discussion he had with the inspirational Leader John Mark Williams. What caught my attention was the paradox between Functional and Relational elements in the workplace: although both of them are necessary and equal, yet the way we relate to ourselves and each other is more crucial to the successful functioning of organizations. Thank you for an inspiring presentation!

“COURIUS designed and delivered a leadership program to support the business & culture transformation that we’re working on. Because of the outstanding results, we are collaborating for team development as well.”
Ad Spaan, Department Manager FZ & DIV, De Connectie
“I have worked with a business coach of COURIUS during my stint Capgemini Group L&D for one of the flagship Leadership Development interventions. He was amongst the pool of 2 Lead Faculties who were instrumental in making the program a runaway success in its first year of launch. In my experience of working with him I have found him an extremely versatile faculty who very effectively played the roles of a Faculty, Consultant and a wonderful Coach to help build future VPs of the group. He is a wonderful individual with very high level of emotional quotient and maturity to handle even the most difficult senior level audience with ease. I wish him all the success in future and hope to stay connected.”
