Workshop Weeks

Not everyone is a natural born speaker. We help you become one. From a stress-free preparation to a convincing and impressive conclusion.

By influencing your 1st impression, you can immediately make it with the start of your presentation or conversation. In short, in the first fifteen milliseconds it is determined whether someone is okay' or is 'not okay.' It then takes 200 milliseconds to determine whether someone is attractive and worth listening to.

The spoken word is less than 10% of the total message. It's a high priority to focus on the power of nonverbal communication. What do you say, or can you say with your body language? With your voice, your appearance, your gestures and so much more. As a result, you know how to make your story fascinating and convincing, which also makes you seem relaxed.

After this workshop, no presentation or conversation will be the same.

We can't escape it. Your appearance plays a big part in how you are seen in the workplace. Every day you have customer contact, meetings, presentations or other moments when you are seen. The first professional impression is made within a few seconds. Often not on the basis of what you say, but on the basis of appearance and looks. People who excel in this are better remembered, more influential and find that their message sticks better.

You will understand that this has a big positive impact on your work. Giving the right professional impression can really make a difference. It allows you to perform better, make more impact and increase your visibility. That is why in this workshop we will take a closer look at making a good professional impression.

Everyone has their own core qualities and talents. Things you excel at, which almost seem to come naturally. But not everyone knows their own talents. And that is a shame. Because if you know your talents, you can start using them and doing what you are really good at. This is win-win, because if you do what you are good at, the organisation you work for will benefit too.

Knowing your talents is incredibly valuable. It makes you more confident in your work. If you make use of your talents, you will stand in your own strengths and will therefore perform with confidence. This in turn, has a positive impact on your state of mind, vitality and happiness at work. We therefore encourage everyone to work from talent (more). This is why in this workshop we explore and discover your core qualities and talents.

It can be a challenge to apply for a job that suits you best. We help you to look outside of the beaten track of the job vacancies and help you in seeking opportunities. This way you prevent yourself from being on the stack of hundreds of letters. And even if you end up on that pile, we’ll show you how you stand out in a way that suits you.

This is not a workshop for doing a letter, resume or application as it should be; this you can find via Google just like everyone else. But how do you go beyond this base? Your dream job is somewhere out there and the manager wants to be convinced. Want to know how, apply to this workshop.

Discover your intrinsic motivation in an escape room. You will understand what drives you: Is it the connection between you and your team members? Or maybe you feel comfortable with using your skills and competences in solving difficult puzzles. Via video feedback you see how you interact with your group members and what role you play in the group dynamic. You will learn how intrinsic motivation works and what effect it has on the dynamics in the group.

This workshop helps you understand what you need to stay motivated. It will also give you an insight in what kind of team or company suits you personally to be the best employee you can be.

How do you get what you want? This workshop teaches you how to get to a 'yes!'. Or just as helpful: get past a 'no'. You discover how to find a win-win solution, improve the relationship with the other person and do all of this efficiently.

This workshop is also unusually fun. It's not just sitting and listening. You practice and test the principles by negotiating with Ivo (the trainer) and your fellow students.
