The Power of the Chameleon

Hannelore Van Meldert, Director Career Center at Acerta, author

Never before has it been more important to adapt your thinking and actions. Change is the only constant, and staying future-proof requires agility. Fortunately, adaptability is a skill you can develop. The Power of the Chameleon shows how to increase your resilience with powerful levers like learning orientation, emotional intelligence, self-confidence, and self-regulation—within yourself, your team, and your organization. Practical, concrete, and based on scientific research, this book is your guide to emerging stronger from change.

Create a ripple effect. Stop changing the way you always do.

Christophe Windelen, Partner at INNOCOM

Most transformations fail not due to a lack of plans, models, or expertise, but because people aren't on board. Change is often approached as something you design and implement, while engagement is the real lever.

Under pressure, organizations centralize decisions, pile up initiatives, and seek external support. But real movement doesn't happen at the top, but at the core of the organization, creating space for a ripple effect where leadership is about activating potential rather than constantly injecting new change. In this session, we challenge persistent assumptions about change and explore how organizations can move forward without paralyzing themselves.
