Further education plays an essential role in employee development within organisations. Based on my expertise in effective non-profit organisations, extensive experience in the sector and an understanding of common organisational needs, I have developed a training programme that is specifically tailored to the NPO sector. The trainings are generally designed for internal groups of 6 to 12 participants. They are customised to the task giver’s specific requirements for implementation. Please email me for details about the training content.
Training: Driving Ownership
What for? Planning processes in international NPOs and diverse NPO-networks usually go along with aiming to shape programmes or campaigns wholeheartedly owned and fully implemented by a diverse range of stakeholders. But how to do this? What does it take for the relevant stakeholders to ultimately own and realise the programme?
The planning processes of international NPOs and diverse NPO networks usually aim to shape programmes or campaigns that are fully owned and implemented by a diverse range of stakeholders. However, there are several key considerations to be addressed in order for this to be achieved. What steps must be taken to ensure that the relevant stakeholders ultimately own and realise the program?
This training provides an understanding of stakeholders’ needs and interests as well as a clear methodology, building on 25 years of experience and models from systems thinking, to create solid ownership and buy-in.

Training: Collaboration in a culturally diverse, digital context
What for? International nonprofit organisations and networks collaborate in a culturally diverse context. Much of the interaction happens online, which brings along an additional layer of complexity. This training makes participants aware of what ‘culture’ actually means. They explore how different cultural approaches bring along dilemmas, while also opening opportunities for solid decisions and culturally tailored approaches. Participants practice methods to effectively navigate the challenges collaboration in a culturally diverse context brings along. Special attention is given to the cultural dilemmas most prominent in online collaboration.
Who: Target group are employees of non-profit organisations.

Training: Engaging Facilitation
What for? Participants will learn how to design, prepare and facilitate meetings in a way that ensures everybody is fully present and actively participates. They learn how to conduct meetings in an engaging and effective way, rather than a draining and daunting one. The goal is to make meetings a collective, co-creative effort and ensure participants take full ownership of the outcomes. The online version of this training addresses the unique challenges and opportunities that arise in the online space.
Who: Target group are employees of non-profit organisations who have occasionally facilitated meetings before and want to become proficient facilitators.
