The most obvious feature about me is an amputated right hand. I have lost it at age two after falling off a wall that broke and landed on top of my arm. This has created a lot of challenges and overcoming them all perhaps the reason I believe that anything is possible for anyone if they persist. It has also opened numerous opportunities. One of was the participation in athletic competitions that showed me unique places around the world and where I earned an international silver medal in high jump at an invitation event. From a young age I have always been interested in and tested my abilities on many subjects and a variety of industries. Although that type of character was not exactly corporate material, it did provide me with a unique perspective of how things fit together and I sometimes refer to myself as a mixer. As an example, I mixed industries to propose the potential of a free insurance product for the poor when I was employed at a major insurance company. I studied personal management and arranged to learn the mechanics of singing as an opera student. I've been a waiter, sales agent (a few times number 1), builder, owned a painting company, restaurateur and designed a hydroponic system to out perform all others at lower build and maintenance cost with higher capacity for variety with the idea of positively influencing the food security issue. In the corporate environment I suggested oxygen generating plants as a means to assist natural productivity, created a moving office to reduce costs and increase service levels and exposure to low density areas. So, ... Years ago, and in a desperate place I asked myself ... "How does my world work?" That question has led to the creation of a visual tool called the Reality Method. All that led to my interest in sharing how our world works as individuals by speaking about people's and businesses capacity to contribute to a better tomorrow for all. The urgency of this was inspired by the exponential growth in technology and its potential impact on society. As an example: Africa will come online in the next couple of years at downloading speeds most 1st world countries could only dream of a few years ago, but what will people search for and how many will imagine that, that tool can create opportunities for them they could not have imagined. How will employed people of today react to AI slowly taking current jobs away from the market if they do not understand their capacity for creativity. This is my interest, this is my dream, this is the reason for my application to share. Kind reagrds Johann van den Heever
