Energy comes in waves

How do you ensure that after significant efforts, you recharge enough to stay full of energy both during and outside of work?

This was the question Lieke asked herself when she was an HR advisor responsible for a group of consultants with high workloads. From her master’s research at FC Groningen, she knew that professional footballers perform best by alternating top-level efforts with sufficient rest and relaxation. Consultants were also expected to deliver top performances, but were they able to recover physically and mentally? And did they still have enough time and energy for life outside of work?

In 2018, Lieke and Stijn founded Onewave, driven by the belief that people can perform at a high level without exhausting themselves or their surroundings, if they learn to better regulate their energy and if the right facilities are provided by the companies they work for. In 2019, Noortje completed the founding team and joined as a partner. Together, they combine extensive knowledge of business administration, change management, and HR strategy with concrete expertise at the intersection of physiology, health, top sports, and coaching.

Our ambition is to teach people how to work and live with more energy.
