11 Shaking the Dust with Sanne Thijssen

March 09, 2022

Today I am speaking with Sanne Thijssen. Sanne is the founder of Shake The Dust, an independent consultancy working on sexual and reproductive health and rights and meaningful youth participation. In this inspiring conversation we hear the details about Sanne's decision to become a consultant, and her decision to leave her full time job. And how it all started with some tears.

We talk about vulnerability, confidence and being professional and how we need all three of these to work as a successful consultant.

Thank you Sanne for such an honest conversation!
