How do you become the next Greta Thunberg?

Young Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg began her lone protest at the parliament building a year ago. In no time, her critical message reached the entire world, and this week she spoke at the United Nations. Imagine this: you are 15 years old and you want to expose a major wrongdoing, really change something. What is the route to success: to making the world a better place? How do you become the next Greta, or a better version of her?

Together with journalist Milou Deelen and speechwriter and coach Huib Hudig, Willemijn Veenhoven in De Nieuws BV goes in search of the most important success factors. According to Milou you have to have a lot of courage, perseverance and a fuck you mentality. Huib thinks Greta Thunberg's tone is too angry: with it she appeals to her own generation, but repels older generations. Rather be tough on substance, but soft on people, is his advice.
