The three foundations of Life | Monique Maarsen | TEDxAmsterdamWomen

In 1982 Monique was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease. She kept going and focussed on her school because she needed to separate herself from her environment of confrontation. This was the beginning of building her own foundation. At the age of 26 the cancer returned for the third time and Monique needed to make herself strong. On top of this she got the devastating news that she could not have children anymore. Luckily this was temporarily and she gave birth to three children. This gave her a new perspective, the three foundations. After finishing her studies in Business Administration at the University of Groningen, Monique started working as International Consultant at Nestle International in Switzerland. She continued her career as an Investment Broker at DTZ. However back home, she decided that it was time to join the family business. The Maarsen group, a real estate investment and commercial property development company, was established by her grandfather over 70 years ago and after making her mark as Sales Director in 2001, Monique has steadily worked her way up to Managing Director and CEO. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
