ABSTRACT
Geert's career journey illustrates how interactions with colleagues in settings somewhat different from our day-to-day work can benefit creativity. Geert's journey illustrates the diversity in skills required, many of which need to be learned on the job, over a career in statistics. Most of all Geert's career is a good illustration of work life balance as he shows us the role that hobbies and sports activities have played in his life. As you read these career journeys, look for the key points made in earlier chapters.
