Hi my name is Martijn Hunter. I am 34 years old, happily married, and a father of two beautiful children. My whole life I have been very technically minded and I have followed, successfully, multiple technical educations with great pleasure. After university I have been working as a Research & Development engineer for various instrumentation suppliers. This is also the part where Perspectivity entered my life via one of the founders Hans Keijzer.<\/p>\n
I was working in a small team of only five people and although we were supposed to be a team it certainly didn\u2019t felt so. There was a negative atmosphere with a lot of gossiping and a lack of cooperation. I felt myself victim of the situation and started using Tit for Tat; which actually only worsened the atmosphere (feeling an even bigger victim). At the same time I was re-reading Adam Kahane\u2019s book on solving tough problems and started using it as a guide to see whether I could change my situation at work. One of the things that struck me was the quote \u201cIF YOU\u2019RE NOT PART OF THE PROBLEM, YOU CAN\u2019T BE PART OF THE SOLUTION\u201d.<\/p>\n
So one of the things I tried was to treat my team members the way I would like them to treat me. In doing so I found out that being more conscious of my own behaviour I was able to (partially) influence the atmosphere and the behaviour of the team. So I was part of the problem!<\/p>\n
This was such an eye opener to me and it made me eager to learn more about these non-technical matters. For me Perspectivity was the place to be and I have been a network member since then.<\/p>\n
This experience changed my life significantly for the better and it is still very relevant for everything that I do today. It helps me to deal sustainable with situations at home, in the office, or even when I am doing groceries. By the way a family with two young children can be quite complex from time to time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
