Facilitation
Most teams don't have a performance problem. They have more in them than everyday pressure allows to come through. And when a system runs on pressure for too long, something gets lost: connection, clarity and soul.
Through facilitation I help executive teams and leaders pause effectively to see what's actually at play, decide on direction and move from A to Be: with less friction and more life in it.
Sometimes that's a day out of the office. Sometimes a programme that runs for multiple seasons. Sometimes offline on a mountain.
With teams
Get out of daily business to re-align and move. A one-day deep dive or multiple days spread over a period of time, working on the team instead of in it: what goes unsaid, what potential is waiting to be freed, and how to create the trust to take the next leap in personal and collective performance.
With leaders
The capacity of a team is limited by the capacity of the one leading it. Understanding your wiring as a leader is key to putting yourself in a position to be successful in a meaningful and durable way. The Blueprint Scan helps you see even your blind spots.
With organisations
Culture programmes that run through the whole thing: leadership, teams, skills, as an integrated programme rather than separate trainings. But also large gatherings: rethinking corporate conferences and meetings. Large-scale transformation on the spot.
Every leadership challenge is different, and the right approach depends on the people, the context and what you want to achieve. You work with me directly to explore your challenge, shape a programme that resonates with your people, and facilitate the desired shift. When your situation calls for it, I work with a trusted group of experienced facilitators who bring additional perspectives and expertise to the programme.
Sometimes we leave the office entirely.
- 24h Buitenspelen
- A day and a night offline in a Dutch forest, for leaders and teams who need to breathe before they can think. Once a year, open to individuals.
- Moving Mountains
- Three days in St. Anton in winter, for executive teams who want the offsite to actually change something. Two teams a season.
- Hiking retreat
- Hut to hut through the Verwall in September, seven people at most. Walk your talk.
These are by conversation only. Write me.
SkyTeam
Two hundred change-makers in aviation, two days in Atlanta and later Jeddah. We rebuilt the conference's content around connection, collaboration and conversation. A corporate conference done differently, to the likes of the participants.
ID&T
A new festival venture that was an instant success, at a real cost to the team behind it. Three half-days over six months to move from survival mode to something sustainable. Less friction, more trust, and the people stayed.
KNMP
An employee survey said: there's more in this organisation than we're realising. An organisation-wide programme on trust and collaboration, from leadership to teams to skills. The next survey said something different.
"Our offsite wasn't just a break from business, your program challenged how we collaborate. On the mountain and in the facilitated sessions, outside pressure disappeared and real conversations came up."Andre Bechtold, President, SAP Industries & Experiences
