In conversations, we want our ideas and interests to be heard. However, the way we approach this differs. Some people communicate in a direct and sometimes forceful way, while others hold back too much. We often believe we are right, but that does not mean others see it the same way.

Your training program in 3 steps

  • Prior to the training program, we ask you to complete an online intake form. If you prefer to discuss your personal learning objectives in more detail, we’ll be more than happy to schedule a one-on-one intake call. Based on your learning objectives, background, and focus areas, we’ll match you with a training group with similar professionals. This way, the training will be aligned with your situation and learning objectives.

  • The four-day training program ‘The Art of Influencing in 4 months’ is spread over the course of four months. Each training day combines inspiration, theory, and practice. You alternate between plenary sessions and assignments in subgroups. This way, you will not only learn from the trainer, but also from each other.

    At the end of each training day, you discuss with the trainer whether you have achieved your learning objectives. You agree on the assignments you will carry out in the intervening period and what the focus is for the next training day. Your training program ends with a personal evaluation.

What others are saying...

I learned an incredible amount in this training program, especially about how EQ, IQ, physical cues, and intuition all work together to determine how you react and communicate. That combination made the learning process both in-depth and surprisingly insightful. If you want to get to know yourself better and discover how to influence others more effectively, I highly recommend this training. It gives you tools you can use in any situation.

Floor

I appreciated that the theory was immediately applicable in practice. It was valuable to share my own real-world examples and work through them together. That provided a lot of clarity and insight. As far as I’m concerned, I highly recommend this training because you can put what you learn to use right away in your daily work.

Ilona

What appealed to me most was how practical the material is, both at work and in my personal life, as well as the combination of theory and hands-on practice. You really learn a lot in a short amount of time, with plenty of opportunities to practice.

Floor

The trainer created an open atmosphere where you could discuss your personal learning questions, which was incredibly valuable. This training is a must. It’s practical, in-depth, and very valuable for your own development.

I found this training to be in-depth and informative. By delving deeper into the theory and discussing it together, I gained greater insight and understanding. The content felt valuable and positive, and it helped me look at my own actions with greater awareness.

This training program isn’t just about influencing others effectively, but also about self-transformation and self-realization. I found all the topics compelling, and I really liked the setting. It allowed us to be honest with each other.

A great interactive training session! Discussing the training with the trainer and my fellow participants really added value. Plus, the tools you receive during the training give you a solid foundation to get started.

Henk

A varied training program with plenty of practical tips to get started. Small group size, which allows for personalized guidance and plenty of attention to your own cases. Not every part is always equally relevant, but in the end, you still learn a great deal that’s useful in practice.

Vincent

Recommended if you’re not afraid to look into your own soul and work on it. The small group and the personal attention were greatly appreciated. The program’s intensive approach ensures that there is a real focus on sharing experiences and exchanging knowledge.
