Training
Participating in a training allows us to learn from the trainer, and to practice new skills with fellow participants.
When in training, I prioritize creating a safe(r) space for all participants. In my experience, environments based on trust ensure the best possible invitation for personal and professional development.
Amongst others, I offer inclusion training for groups who want to create inclusive environments. Additionally, I offer creative writing trainings for groups who want to engage with the power of words. And I offer communication training for groups who want to refresh their people skills.
Great news!
As of May 2024, my company is officially registered as an institution for short professional education. This means all my training programmes are
EXEMPTED FROM VAT.

Creating Inclusion
Inclusion is a verb. Too often I come across organisations that have good intentions, but lack the tools to incorporate inclusivity principles at the heart of what they do. Having a D&I-statement on the website is great, but it is not going to do the work.
You have to do the work. Based on my own experience as a queer person of color, I can honestly tell you that the path towards inclusivity starts with one simple question: are you willing to look in the mirror and face what you see? Self-reflection leads to having in-depth conversations. Which could refresh group dynamics. And in turn could lead to a change in culture. With this training you will make the first steps in turning your organisation into a place where talent feels at home.

Creative Writing
As an author, I now master several literary genres. It started with poetry. Writing poems gave my emotions a way out. Poetry allowed me to connect with myself. I then developed my journalistic writing skills, which allowed me to connect with the world. And in recent years, I have devoted myself to non-fiction prose, allowing society to get acquainted with me and my business.
With the training ‘Creative Writing’ I want to enable you to do the same. In a world that is constantly changing, it is essential to stay true to yourself. So your audience can continue the find you, and you can continue to inspire. I am convinced that authenticity is the key to that process. Be welcome and write your story.

Every job is a human job. Working with other people is essential, regardless of your respective field. Today’s society is getting increasingly complex. On every possible layer. How do you and your team perform in an ever changing world?
