Who is Haike Van Dyck?
Haike Van Dyck is not just a leadership coach. She is a bringer of calm, a sharp mirror, and a Livewire—sparking movement where things feel stuck. With over 15 years of corporate experience and a decade coaching senior leaders, she understands the delicate balance between high-pressure environments, responsibility, and personal growth.
In 2021, she founded Livewire by Haike with a clear mission: to guide leaders back to their core. Because leadership doesn’t start with a title or a checklist—it starts with knowing who you are, what you stand for, and how to let your unique light shine. And that doesn’t just benefit you or your organization—it ripples outward, transforming the world around you.
Some keynotes inform you. This keynote… transformed.
What Haike delivered was not a list of leadership theories, nor a typical motivational speech. It was an invitation. An invitation to (re)discover the light within yourself and to realize that leadership begins long before you take your seat at the conference table.
She didn’t talk about numbers or targets. She talked about people. About how, in every choice, in every interaction, we create a ripple effect that reaches far beyond what we imagine. How leadership does not stop at the borders of your job title but flows into your family, your relationships, your community—and ultimately, into the world we shape together. (read further...)

What moved me most was how she shifted the perspective on leadership. Like a prism breaking the harsh, white light of control and performance into soft, colorful nuances of humanity, authenticity, and responsibility.
Since that evening, I see things differently. Not just leaders, but also myself. How I engage with the world. How my small choices today—how I listen, respond, lead—will ripple through the generations after me. How my presence, my light, is also leadership.
This was not a keynote to simply listen to and then return to business as usual. It was a keynote that lingers. That invites you to pause. To feel. And to choose again: what kind of leader do I want to be—in my work, my life, my world?
That evening, Haike didn’t just speak. She shone a new light on what leadership can be.
