Training & workshops

Practical learning from your own work.

Training you can apply directly, fitted to the reality of entrepreneurial organisations.

For teams and groups who want to strengthen their leadership, feedback, collaboration or resilience, with insights that stick and exercises that carry through to Monday morning.

Approach

No theatre. Insight, practice and concrete agreements.

A training session isn't a presentation. It's a structured working session where participants do it themselves, recognise, practise and translate it back to their own work. The content is grounded: psychology, neuroplasticity, leadership, organisational science, translated into the language of engineers, professionals and managers.

Themes

Themes that come up regularly.

Leadership under pressure

How do you lead when the pressure rises and the margin drops? Practical leadership principles for first-line managers and leadership team members in technical organisations.

Feedback culture

The difference between “we give each other feedback” and “feedback works here.” Practising the conversations that usually get postponed.

Communication

Clear, honest, with attention to the other person. How you say what you have to say, and how you hear what the other actually means. Essential in technical and knowledge-intensive teams where the content is dense and connection doesn't come automatically.

Talent development

Seeing, naming and using talent, both your own and that of your people. For managers, team leads and HR-responsible roles.

Workload and recovery

Workload isn't only a matter of hours. Which patterns reinforce it, and which break it? With insights from neuroscience and original research.

Neuroplasticity in practice

What brain science says about learning, habits and behaviour change, and how to apply it practically yourself and with your team.

Team development

How a team of separate craftspeople becomes a group that strengthens each other. Roles, rhythms, trust and collaboration under pressure.

Courage and fear patterns

Personal patterns around risk, conflict and staying the course. Essential for leaders and professionals who want to make a difference.

Career orientation

For groups of professionals thinking about direction, talent and the next step. A few half-day sessions that often deliver more than a year of overthinking.

Testimonials

What participants report back.

“Many thanks for the great workshop ‘Hacking Neuroplasticity’. I felt so re-energised after the training that I managed to run a successful call and close all outstanding items before the weekend.”

“Harry de Bont manages to explain the complicated topic of neuroplasticity in very pleasant and understandable terms. This webinar was extremely interesting and very applicable to everyday life.

I recommend this for anyone looking to improve themselves, learn how to learn better, and get a basic understanding of how neuroplasticity works.”

Etienne Galea

“I enjoyed the ‘My Values My Choices’ workshop and liked how structured it was. By the end, we were able to be closer to ourselves and our values, and understand what motivates us and leads our decision-making process.

Very great, and I highly recommend it.”
