"Mirjam Koornneef is not only a great storyteller; her story also provides something to deeply think about. Diversity and inclusion are not just tasks for the HR department; they are about job satisfaction for everyone, a better society, and a better future. Mirjam's passion will leave no one untouched."
"Mirjam is a natural speaker who talks enthusiastically about her projects. Her personal anecdotes draw you close to the story. She is generous as a moderator because she gives other people their time and allows them to shine. "
"Chairwoman Mirjam is an enthusiastic entrepreneur who created an informal atmosphere during the conference, making both guests and speakers feel very welcome. Mirjam also ensured that the program was completed smoothly, while allowing space and respect for everyone. In short, a chairwoman with a love for her work."
"Listening to Mirjam speak on diversity, inclusion, and human rights is a profoundly enlightening endeavor. Her adeptness at connecting with the audience through genuine narrative and personal encounters is truly commendable. With fervor and empathy, she illuminates pivotal societal matters, igniting substantive dialogues and instilling a sense of purposeful engagement. Mirjam's message resonates deeply, compelling listeners to reflect and engage in meaningful dialogue long after their interactions with her."
"Mirjam Koornneef recently gave an inspiring lecture on inclusivity in recruitment and selection, which left an indelible impression on me. The presentation started in a unique way, with Mirjam asking us to close our eyes and listen to her singing, immediately creating an intimate atmosphere. By sharing her own life story, she highlighted the important choices she has made and how they have paved the way for a more inclusive approach to people with disabilities."
"Mirjam managed to inspire me again. As an advocate and working in employment placement for people with disabilities, I help many people, but I also often experience that employers hesitate for a long time. That is sometimes frustrating, but when Mirjam talks full of enthusiasm and passivity about her company where only recruiters with disabilities work, I feel that it is possible. Just carry on."
"In her role as a speaker and chairwoman, Mirjam is an enthusiastic, engaging person. She shows genuine interest in the people she interviews. And I also think she is a great person during the conversations that take place at networking events, for example. If I may describe her briefly: vulnerable, sincere, spontaneous, and interested."
Mirjam's heart beats for inclusivity and equality. She's the kind of person who brings people together, regardless of their abilities, with a passion that shines through in everything she does. Her journey has been one of dedication to creating a world where everyone is seen and valued for who they are. From organizing city tours led by guides with disabilities to crafting a children's book that celebrates diversity and inclusion, Mirjam's actions speak volumes.
