About Shorombo

He speaks from lived experience, not just theory

Shorombo Mooij seated, smiling

Having struggled with depression and later a severe burnout that ended his career in international finance, he rebuilt his health, career, and life from the ground up. That became the foundation of his work and his High Performance Lifestyle Design methodology.

Since 2017, he has helped ambitious professionals and high achievers design their way of living and working from a different approach to high performance: one where ambition, health, freedom, and fulfillment reinforce rather than compete with each other.

Combining his personal experience, deep knowledge of human behavior, and expertise in AI, he brings that human perspective to one of today's biggest questions: How do we lead ourselves and thrive in the Age of AI?

Sessions

Three themes, one question

How do I lead myself in the age of AI?

01 · Flagship

Personal Leadership in the Age of AI

Leading yourself first, when every option is open.

AI gives this generation more options and more tools than any before it. But it poses some unique challenges. This session is about ownership: knowing what you want, making choices you can stand behind, and keeping your focus in a world built to distract you.

  • How to turn endless options into one clear direction
  • How to protect their focus from distraction, overwhelm and overstimulation
  • How to build a future that fits what they really want
02

Ambition Without Burnout

Ambition without paying for it with your health.

A lot of young adults feel the pressure to perform, but have never learned how to manage themselves, or how to do this in a way that is true to them.

Shorombo introduces them to a different and holistic way of performing, a lifestyle that they can make their own and that can be the basis for the rest of their careers and lives.

  • How to perform under pressure without burning out
  • How to spot overload before it costs them their health
  • How to design their days around what intrinsically motivates them
03

Life Design: Your Next Move

Designing your next move around who you are.

Most people drift into the next expected step: the next study, the next job, the next title. This session gives graduates and young professionals a simple way to design their life and work deliberately, around their values, strengths and the life they actually want.

  • How to get clear on what life they really want to build
  • How to align ambition with happiness and fulfillment
  • How to go from vague ambition to a concrete next move

From the audience
"His session was exactly what I needed: activating, energizing, and genuinely fun. It set the tone for the entire day. Shorombo doesn't just lead these sessions, he lives what he teaches. His energy is contagious, and you can feel his presence the moment he steps into the space. I left feeling more awake, alive, and ready to take on everything the retreat had to offer."
Alice Smeets

Shared by lecturer Desiree Ruijgrok, HvA event, April 2026
"I saw it in myself and in the other participants: it helped us take action, it created calm and overview, and it made us accountable to ourselves. To the point, down-to-earth, with a sense of humour, but above all very practical."
