Mignon Van Halderen

Mignon runs the Professorship Thought Leadership at Fontys University of Applied Sciences (School of Communication) in Eindhoven. The goal of this professorship is to develop innovative knowledge on Thought Leadership and share this with a large community of organisations, researchers, communication professionals, teachers and students. She also advises organisations on making choices about thought leadership strategies and offers in-company presentations to organizations that are keen on pursuing a thought leadership strategy, but first like to have a richer insight into its meaning and how it can be pursued. Within the MCC program of Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, Mignon teaches the executive course Thought Leadership and coaches students during their graduation project. She also teaches Communication Research at the Master of International Communication Management at The Hague Applied University. With regard to the latter, she won the Lecturer of the Year award in 2014.
