09/2026 Xavi in the house
My 21st football season working for UEFA.com is up and running. I’ve already covered matches involving NEC, Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV in various European club competitions. And I also reported on the Netherlands v Germany Nations League match in which both Xavi and Jurgen Klopp were making their debuts as national team coaches. Plenty more to come!
Journey book
Another journey book completed and printed; by my reckoning that’s approximately 40 I’ve written over the past decade. Together with Vincent van den Hoogen’s spectacular photography, these books explain the thinking and intent behind the process that participants undergo. The books also describe and shed light on events that take place during the journey itself, and contain stories based on interviews I do with the CEO and CPO.
Maxi-Cosi
A new client: Maxi-Cosi. I got together with David Slack, an incomparable brand/design director whose directness and frankness is wonderful, to develop a script for the head honchos at Dorel Juvenile (which owns the Maxi-Cosi brand). They’ll use the script to present at a major customer event in Cologne in September.
