"A highly practical program with frameworks and templates you can apply immediately. I’ve used the tools to improve delegation and project briefs, making our ways of working clearer and more effective."

Thibault Vandenhove, Founder, Ooho
"This program gives you the perfect tools to grow in your role, while staying true to your identity. I learned how to set clear boundaries and reduce my tendency to people-please, which has made me more confident and effective. I've improved the way I delegate and give feedback, and I now structure work and set strategies with my team much more effectively."

Isabelle, Director General, Brussels
"I like having a clear organisation framework and was missing the systematic use of project management tools and protocols within the association. Now we're using the management tools from the program for our large cross-sectorial projects: they help us stay focused and each member of the team has clarity on the work and their own tasks. It was great that several of us did the training so we are on the same line. The sessions on Strategic Thinking & Decision-Making and emotional intelligence were the highlights for me."

Dr Anne-Gaëlle Collot, Director, Brussels
"I don't think I ever really addressed moving from a kind of matey colleague to a manager. I didn't understand what it really meant to be in that leadership role. So for me, giving feedback was a challenge! Thanks to the tools from the program - I did it, and it went really well! I'm more confident now. It's better for me, and better for my team too."

Ries, Manager, Brussels
"I was dreading giving a staff member feedback! But the template we got from the course gave me the structure I needed and helped me feel more confident - and it went really well! I've also used the project planning template on several occasions now. It allows me to structure my thoughts and delegate to others - I was struggling with that in the past "
