Hey? What's that language? German?

Well, close: it's Dutch and sorry for my temporary, but mixed-up priorities!

Or Latin if you meant the Curriculum Vitae, but don't worry; English only on Van-Zand.com (since your Dutch is probably as fluent as my Chinese).

So, Why or What's Van-Zand?

Anglicized version of Mike's Dutch surname: van Zandwijk

Even in Holland, most people ask me to spell my last name, so I imagine for you (living outside a windmill without wooden shoes), it's quite a spelling challenge.

On my turn: finding a free .etc Internet name for a literal sweet spot to share discoveries with our online community.

What you can expect are topics on:

1. Anti-Bullet Tricks for Your Presentations
2. Consultants As Navigator (and Communicator)
3. Technology stuff in plain English (if you wink at my Dutch tongue)

Admitted, I almost wrote Englishized in the header ;)
or is it Anglicised or Americanized anyway?

Who's Mike van Zandwijk?

Man, I love writing, except about myself

As former IT strategy consultant, I'd say:
"It depends ... on who you'd ask", like my:

Business friends: "All-round communication expert"
Social buddies: "Pretty round poker amateur & geek"
Two daughters: "Daddy, daddy, daddy!"

(hope you don't mind I omitted my onetime fiancée)

Although I still feel, think and act like a consultant, I regret how it sounds in today's business & Information Technology world: not so good.

That's why you'll read "Consulting As Navigator" on my personal blog. But I'll write more about Navigators over the next weeks, months or maybe even years.

But OK, if You ask me who I am, will You tell me who You are? I'd love to know, so You can find my first shot right under "My Bio".

PS: just in case You're wondering why i capitalized "You" there, it's because i'll never understand why on earth it's not the other way around.
