Hidde de Vries is the founder of The Recharge Company, a columnist at RTL Z, and the creator of various vitality programs. He speaks on (inter)national stages about vitality and personal development, for companies such as Nike, Facebook, Rituals, and the Dutch Ministry of Defense.
Vitality and Personal Development
Hidde speaks in an energetic and down-to-earth way about vitality and personal development. Part of his expertise comes from his time at Google, where from 2011 to 2017 he observed on an international level how major tech companies and other organizations approach vitality.
Entrepreneur
At the height of the 2010 crisis, Hidde narrowly saved his own media company from bankruptcy while personally teetering on the edge of burnout. Instead of giving up, he set out to explore ways to better cope with modern challenges like burnout and work-life balance.
This journey eventually led him to Google, where he developed a new perspective on the role of vitality in organizations. Vitality itself should not be the goal—personal development should. When combined, vitality and personal development create motivation, driving growth for both people and the business.
