Hey Jurgen, I'm so excited to hear that you're embarking on this new life!
You've been a great explorer and very impactful in my life, and I appreciate your "refusal to fit in" or "settle". I have had many lives, and although they seem very different in other people's eyes, they feel coherent and part of the same exploration from my perspective.
You embrace change and keep finding new ways to express yourself. This is just another round for you. Hopefully a very enjoyable one. And I wish this next cycle allows you to integrate a lot of the learnings and find their grounding.
We communicate more with our actions than our words. This newsletter will be silent for a while, maybe forever, but silence makes sound all the more special and meaningful. Your voice and your words will stay with us! And our support and appreciation will go with you!
I’ve been following your work for a long time now, from Management 3.0 and Managing for Happiness to your Substack today. And thinking back, your writing has somehow been there through quite a few different stages and endeavors in my own life and career.
What I’ve always appreciated is that you made me think. Sometimes rethink things I thought I had figured out. Sometimes just look at a problem from a completely different angle.
And that happened again a lot over the last months with what you’ve been writing about AI. Quite a few of those posts stuck with me and opened up perspectives I hadn’t considered before.
So after reading about some of the struggle along the way, I’m really happy to read this and to see that you’ve found an opportunity you’re excited about.
And also: thank you for sharing so much of your thinking over all these years. It has had more impact than you probably realize.
All the best to you and thanks a lot for the inspiring Newsletter. I enjoyed reading your ideas, thoughts and experiments a lot. Thanks for sharing all that 🫶🏻
I am so happy to read this Jurgen! Your name came up a couple of times in the past year or so in conversation with a common friend of us as we were also on this “so, what’s next?” phase.
Exciting news and congratulations! Thanks, again, for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I hope that you can throw in some insights from time to time into this newsletter 👍😊
I appreciate your transparency! I will miss reading your musings and exploration in these columns, and I wish you well in the new job. Thanks for all you have shared, and I hope in the future you find a way to come back to writing. If you do, I will be here!
Congratulations Jurgen. Appreciate the job and new opportunity, you will manage and add the Appelo style and wisdom to it. They can be really happy to have you on board.
Well, that's great news! Given my extensive background in healthcare, I think that you are a good match. Will miss the unexpected insights, though. It's where you are a master! Keep in mind that healthcare is not always a place to make these 'sudden-thought-moves'. Remember: I'm there to bounce things off related to AI and healthcare, if needed... Good Luck!
Congratulations – sometimes it’s hard to find yourself and what makes you happy; sometimes we’re so caught up in the rat race that it’s hard to look beyond it. To see those little things that make life worth living, rather than the ones we’ve been led to believe are important.
So happy to hear you've found a professional 'home' for now, Jurgen. In times like these, having a bit of predicability is a gift! Continue to share your wisdom with us when you're ready!

Congrats Jurgen! Awesome you're making the plunge. They are super lucky to have you.

Heel veel succes en plezier bij Erasmus UMC!
Congratulations with this new venture, pausing for some time is good, it gives us the expectation that you will be back one day :-)
