Do you recognise this?
You are a leader with a mission. You want to create real change – in your organisation, your team, or your field of work. And at some point, you’ve probably found yourself searching: for the right framework, the right tool, the right approach that will finally help you solve your challenges or help you create more impact. What if the solution is to be found in a different place?
WHAT WE BELIEVE IN
After working with thousands of leaders and managers worldwide, we keep witnessing the same thing happening in every field and in every context:
real change comes from moments of small intentional shifts.
A conversation that shifted someone’s perspective.
A small decision, made with intention, that quietly changed everything.
It is these moments – deeply rooted in human connection – that create a ripple effect far beyond what you thought was possible. It sounds deceptively simple but – in a world where people are collectively divesting from deep human connection – it may be the most courageous, rebellious and strategic action you can take.
OUR MISSION
We help purpose-driven leaders create more impact – through the power of small intentional shifts – deeply rooted in genuine human connection.

Who is behind the Ripple Effect?
We are an international leadership development, training and coaching organisation, founded by Lieke van Gompel.
Lieke has trained thousands of leaders and managers worldwide – often in highly volatile and complex settings – bringing deep cultural fluency and genuine human connection to everything we do.
During the course of her work, she identified two clear patterns:
Leaders everywhere look for that one tool or framework that can help fix their (interpersonal) challenges as fast as possible.
Real transformation isn’t a new tool. It’s a small adjustment in how you approach a situation – one that ripples out in ways you didn’t expect.
These insights shaped how Lieke designs learning: experiences rooted in joy and deep human connection, where participants focus on one intentional shift at a time.
The result?
People don’t just become better leaders. They report changes they didn’t see coming in other areas – in the way they show up for themselves, in how they handle conflict at home, in how they manage their energy outside of work.

They experienced the Ripple Effect
The workshop with Lieke was FULL OF ENERGY and dynamism. The exercises were varied and well-thought-out. It helped a team that often works remotely TO BETTER CONNECT AND EXCHANGE. At the end of the day, the team felt they understood each other better and their ways of working.

Lieke’s training was ONE OF THE BEST I’ve had on any subject. She is an extremely friendly, knowledgeable and PROFESSIONAL guide who tailors her offer to the group at hand. The content was useful and PRACTICAL, and the format was designed in a way that really got the best out of participants.

I worked with Lieke when she conducted a training to 85 international staff in Juba, South Sudan. She used the latest methods and theories in developing the training. It was well-structured, INTERACTIVE, and proved USEFUL and PRACTICAL. I highly recommend her!
