What has this banana got to do with YOU mastering Dutch? "GAAN MET DIE BANAAN!" is what we used to say at home to encourage each other to 'Just do it! if you want to achieve something'. You DECIDE you want to master Dutch. You take the first step. Send a message for an online intake. Subscribe for one year language coaching Take it week by week 1% every day The result? This time next year you'll master Dutch. Or... you procrastinate. Years slips away.. still not being able to speak a word of Dutch Yeah, you took that beginners course. It has been a while.. You forgot the words, simple sentences. You promised yourself to do selfstudy, but it's been busy at work, moving house, etc.. What a difference it would make if you would have a Dutch language teacher/ coach who would tell you: "You are doing great, keep going, you're on the right track." "Don't worry, I'll show you the logic behind it." Take that first step today. ➡ DM for an intake. #Nederlands #NT2 #MasterDutch #Staatsexamens #careers #success #persoonlijkeontwikkeling #investinyourself

🌟 Transformative Coaching Experience 🌟 I am thrilled to share this heartfelt testimonial from one of my recent coachees, which highlights the power of a single coaching session. 💬✨ A female Director. "My first session with Stefan was not what I expected. It surpassed every idea I had on what coaching should be. We immediately engaged in a warm and open conversation that felt natural and trusting. Stefan made me feel listened to, valued, and respected. I left feeling calm, warm, and motivated to change." Many people believe that coaching takes time to yield results, but I’m starting to challenge this notion. That’s why I've begun asking my coachees for feedback after our first, 3rd and 9th meeting—to shine a light on the immediate impact coaching can have! It's not just about the tools and strategies we work on together; it's about building a relationship of trust and support from the very start. I’m grateful for the opportunity to guide others in their journey, and I’m excited about what’s to come in our future sessions. Thank you for your trust, and here’s to more breakthroughs! 🚀💪 Stefan PS - Would you like to feel calm? #Coaching #Transformation #ClientTestimonials #PersonalGrowth

📚𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬. I recently discovered the book "𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬" 𝐛𝐲 Katja Schipperheijn. It is a great book, packed with powerful insights on how we can reimagine learning to drive engagement, growth, and impact. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐩 3 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬, 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞: 1️⃣  𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. Inclusive learning environments foster real engagement.

𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 (not from the book but relevant to this point): Google’s approach to inclusive learning through “g2g” (Googlers-to-Googlers) sessions, where employees teach each other new skills in an open, supportive environment, helping to make knowledge sharing a core part of the culture. 2️⃣ 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞. A standout idea is the alignment of learning goals with organizational and societal impact. 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒂 𝒑𝒖𝒓𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒅𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒕𝒉, 𝒊𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒂 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆. 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 (real-life example to showcase this idea): Unilever’s “Future Fit” program empowers employees to upskill in sustainable business practices, aligning personal development with the company’s mission for sustainable growth, making each person’s contribution feel purposeful. 3️⃣ 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Digital tools are transforming how we learn and connect. 𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒏𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆, 𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒙𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒍𝒍. 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: (real-life case to support this point) Microsoft Teams and Slack aren’t just for communication; they’re vital learning tools. Employees can join channels focused on specific skills, share resources, and even join live workshops, creating a continuous, collaborative learning ecosystem. If you want to foster learning culture in your organisation that is adaptable, inclusive, and purpose-driven, "Learning Ecosystems" is a must-read! 📚 #KatjaSchipperheijn #LearningEcosystems #GrowthMindset #InclusiveLearning #FutureOfLearning #LeadershipDevelopment *** I am Olga NAERT, I guide and help people to find their professional purpose and get unstuck in their career.

In a world where so much feels beyond our control—especially in times of political change and societal uncertainty—finding alignment within ourselves becomes even more essential. While we cannot control others' behaviors and decisions at large, one powerful way to start finding internal alignment is by looking honestly at where we are today. By simply writing down a list of 10 areas of your life, rating each from 1 to 10 (10 being most aligned and 1 being least aligned), we can build awareness around both what we appreciate and where we feel off course.   This exercise isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about the small, actionable steps (creating new habits) we can take to create peace and fulfillment in our lives, regardless of external factors. The goal is to identify where you’re already aligned and appreciate those areas, then look at the areas where you feel a gap. Think of it as “start small, think big.” By taking small steps, even if that means adjusting your daily habits, we can work towards a bigger vision for our lives without getting overwhelmed.   For example, if you rate your health a 5, ask yourself, "What’s one small thing I can do to bring that up a notch?" Or if your relationships are an 8, recognize and appreciate the value in that area. Awareness through this kind of self-assessment allows us to see where we might begin to create new habits, creating a sense of empowerment over our lives, no matter what’s happening outside of us.   In the face of global uncertainty, we can’t always change the behaviors of others, but we can always choose how we respond, align our actions with our values, and nurture our own inner peace. This simple list can remind us that change starts within, and even the smallest steps can lead us toward a greater sense of fulfillment and purpose.   Let this practice be a tool for reconnecting with yourself, appreciating where you are, and taking those first small steps towards where you want to be. Remember that this is a process, and it’s okay that it takes time. The important thing is to acknowledge the steps, even the small ones, towards alignment and fulfillment.

On Initiative and Unity of Effort – For Leaders Who Love Momentum Author: Manu Steens Book by: Edwin Zasada In my search, I discovered this book only in Dutch, yet its content is so pivotal that I felt compelled to share its essence. It focuses on the key concepts of initiative and unity of effort, underscoring their critical importance. The book elaborates on how taking initiative and fostering a unified approach are fundamental in achieving goals and overcoming challenges. These ideas are not only central to the book’s message but also resonate widely with anyone looking to make a meaningful impact. It highlights the significance of collective action and the power of working together towards a common purpose, making it a must-read for those aspiring to lead and inspire.

Feeding the Positive Wolf: A Strategy for Sustainable Success in Corporate Coaching. A column by Ellen Jansen 📚In the world of Corporate Business Coaching, the story of the two wolves—a Cherokee tale—serves as a powerful tool. This story teaches that within us all, one wolf represents positivity, strength, and success, while the other symbolizes negativity, pessimism, and failure. Which wolf wins? "The one you feed," says the old Cherokee man. In my coaching practice, we focus on nourishing the positive, proactive wolf using specific tools and techniques: 1️⃣ Goal-Oriented Questions: We help clients define clear goals and actionable steps, feeding the positive wolf with direction and motivation. 2️⃣ Positive Reinforcement: Celebrating successes, big or small, strengthens the positive wolf by fostering a sense of accomplishment. 3️⃣ Simplifying Processes: By creating clear distinctions and simplifying mental processes, we stimulate the active part of the brain. This helps clients focus and make better decisions, thereby feeding the positive wolf. 4️⃣ Reflection and Self-Awareness: Clients learn to observe their thoughts and behaviors, increasing awareness and consciously choosing the positive wolf. 5️⃣ Accountability Structures: Regular progress reports keep clients motivated and focused, preventing the negative wolf from gaining ground. ✅ Our aim is to make feeding the positive wolf an automatic process, integrated into daily routines. This approach helps clients not only overcome challenges but also continuously grow and excel in their business environment. Corporate Business Coaching transforms thinking and behavior, ensuring the positive wolf prevails and fostering a culture of ongoing improvement and success. ❓So, which wolf will you choose to feed today? The answer could shape your path to success. #coach #business #leadership #authentic #DEI #column

During a recent Shared Mailboxes workshop (in combination with Speedmailing/Inbox Zero) at Stichting DOEN and Dekker Zevenhuizen, we focused on optimizing individual mailboxes and enhancing efficiency in Outlook and Teams. The challenge of efficient collaboration in shared mailboxes was a key topic. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, but with targeted sessions for analysis, clean-up, and training, progress is achievable. A crucial step is agreeing on how to manage incoming emails. Like the office dishwasher, shared mailboxes need clear rules to avoid becoming overlooked. Start with a team discussion on current practices and frustrations, then draft a “this is how we roll” guide. Writing down assumptions reduces errors and annoyances. Ensure there’s an easy way to assign responsibility for tasks, using a simple folder structure or categories. The goal is to reduce bureaucracy while preventing tasks from slipping through the fingers. Monitor the status of tasks—whether actionable or completed—using folders or categories, but keep it simple. Implement and train the team on shared mailbox practices, improving email search settings, and writing emails. Agree that every email should start with a greeting and end with a thank you, including names, for clarity and practicality. In shared mailboxes, less is more. Fewer folders and actions per email lead to more efficiency and team satisfaction. Review practices every three months to minimize bureaucracy and implement small improvements.

How are we doing within our circle of influence? Are we making great use of our time & talents? What kind of impact & legacy are we leaving behind? Tough questions to answer indeed, but ones we have to face. This week I'm reminded to continue what was already started, to keep the passion in the practice of our professions going, and always to be a blessing to others. "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." (1 Corinthians 10:31, NIV) #PeoleAndProperties #SoftSkillsSpecialist #RealEstateBroker
