Our mission: to make 'What makes you tick' a living and guiding question and principle for as many people and organizations as possible. And we dedicate ourselves to this with heart and soul!
What Makes You Tick was founded in 2015 by Vicky Marijnen. Starting her career as a marketeer at Unilever, she decided after about eight years that it was time to shift her focus. From brand development to human development, because that was where her heart truly lay! When she started working as a trainer and coach, the question and theme ‘what makes you tick’ quickly emerged – both for herself and in conversations with others. Driven by a great fascination for this theme, she delved deeper into it, and thus What Makes You Tick was born. As a philosophy, a mindset, an approach. And as a movement and company.
In 2020, Erwin van de Vis joined What Makes You Tick as an independent professional, and from 2023 he became a co-owner. Originally trained in business administration and technology, with a constant curiosity about what drives people. With his rich experience in various roles, from sales and team leadership to executive management, he is a strong sparring partner for both management and individuals. He helps to further bring What Makes You Tick into the world.
Together, Vicky and Erwin form the heart of What Makes You Tick, and along with all the other Tickers, they are fully committed to helping as many people as possible discover what makes them tick and how they can take action from there.
