If you have ever seen a performance by Jaap, then you are undoubtedly also familiar with the term 'Carlos moments'.

The concept of the Carlos Moment is named after the Portuguese nurse who made a big difference for Jaap when he ended up in hospital after his diving accident. By doing something that was completely normal for him, but that added enormous value for Jaap. Jaap was lying there in an unfamiliar country, in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar body. The only thing he could still feel was panic. But they were used that there, diving accidents are a common occurrence in that part of Portugal. As long as he kept shouting, someone would come to check the monitors, only to then turn around and leave the room again. Standard procedure. Until one night nurse Carlos entered the room, when Jaap was having another one of his panic attacks. Carlos did read the situation well, walked over to Jaap, put his hand on his shoulder \u2013 where Jaap hadn\u2019t lost feeling \u2013 and said, \u201cIt\u2019s okay.\u201d He saw Jaap and not just another diving accident victim. It made all the difference for Jaap. \u201cSimply\u201d by truly putting himself in Jaap\u2019s shoes, Carlos gave Jaap that small push he needed to realize that he was still alive.<\/p>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\u201cWhen I tell him this later, he says that he was just doing his job. But I do see pride in his eyes. At that moment, he realizes that by doing something that is entirely normal for him, something that is \u2018just\u2019 part of his job, he is extremely valuable to someone else.\u201d<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Jaap believes that there is a Carlos in all of us and that we can all make a difference in our own way. The thing is that you often don\u2019t even realize you\u2019re doing it, because you\u2019re \u201cjust doing your job.\u201d But those Carlos Moments \u2013 big and little wins \u2013 deserve to be highlighted and celebrated. If you do that, you will see how they can make your job, and your life, even more fun. So, the next time you\u2019re in a team meeting at work, in the company cafeteria, or standing by the coffee machine, look at what\u2019s going well. Did you see how a co-worker just made a difference for someone? Did anyone maybe make a difference for you? Make sure everyone knows about it. And when someone pays you a compliment, don\u2019t play it down, enjoy it. You deserve it! And remember, it doesn\u2019t have to be something grand!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
