Zanna van der Aa

In this episode, Dr. Zanna van der Aa unpacks the exact playbook she uses to weld customer experience (CX) and employee experience (EX) into one unstoppable, human-centric engine. From mapping mirrored journeys to igniting “tiny habits” that take zero extra minutes, Zanna shows how to turn fluffy buzzwords into real-world behaviour change. 

What you’ll learn in 20 minutes: 

  1. Why every initiative needs a single, customer-anchored storyline.
  2. How personal-attention drivers 5× outperform speed-fix metrics.
  3. The magic of ad-hoc journey teams (no org-chart surgery required).
  4. Co-creating playful micro-habits that stick.
  5. Embedding purpose into recruitment & onboarding so culture starts on Day 1.


If you’re ready to ditch siloed projects and infuse every department with human centricity, hit play, then share which tiny habit you’ll test this week!
