< back Omgaan met emoties Emoties zorgen voor een goede werksfeer, minder stress en zijn sterk wapen tegen burn out. More detailed information “Wat zullen ze van mij denken als ik begin te wenen?” “Ik wil niet dat collega’s zien dat dit me raakt!” “Ik onderdruk mijn frustratie want dat past niet op het werk.” Het is niet vanzelfsprekend om op een gezonde manier om te gaan met onze emoties — al helemaal niet op de werkvloer. “Doe niet zo flauw”. Of: “Allez, nu is het genoeg.” En: “Wees flink”. Misschien herken je deze zinnen wel. Met deze adviezen zijn we opgevoed: een emotie is iets wat we zo snel mogelijk moeten opzij zetten om verder te kunnen gaan. Ondertussen weten we dat het onderdrukken van emoties op lange termijn nefast is voor onze mentale en fysieke gezondheid. Niet alleen slagen we er niet in om ze levenslang onder tafel te vegen, ze overvallen ons op termijn ook te pas en vooral te onpas. Tijd dus om die emoties recht in de ogen te kijken en beter te leren wat ze zijn, waarom ze er zijn, en hoe we ermee om kunnen gaan! Want ook op de werkvloer is het belangrijk om emoties beheerst te uiten. Zo zal je beter bestand zijn tegen burn out, een betere verstandhouding hebben met collega’s, minder stress ervaren, betere beslissingen nemen en meer vertrouwen uitstralen. Bovendien bevordert het ons welzijn en komt het ook al onze menselijke relaties zowel op de werkvloer als in onze privé, ten goede. Ten slotte zorgt het leren omgaan met je eigen emoties er ook voor dat je die van de ander sneller herkent en kan managen. Deze talk is bedoeld voor leidinggevenden en medewerkers die willen investeren in hun emotioneel management. En voor teams die gaan voor: … meer werkgeluk; … betere communicatie; … meer (zelf)vertrouwen; … gezonde medewerkers; … meer en beter samenwerken; … open communicatie; … verbinding; … veerkracht; ….welzijn. In een uur deelt Veerle haar kennis, inzichten rond dit thema. De keynote is opgebouwd rond praktische handvaten en ervaringen. Ook als workshop van 2u beschikbaar! Request a quote Submit About As an actress, she is highly attuned to her breathing, which forms the basis of how she utilizes her body as an instrument to embody a role. In her role as a coach, she is well-versed in understanding the impact of stress on the body. She harnesses the power of breath, which is readily available to everyone, to attain more rest, a crucial element for personal growth. She encapsulated this knowledge in her book "ADEMRUIMTE." By cultivating awareness of emotions and their physiological effects, by observing and gaining control over our thoughts, and by using breathwork to release tension from the body, individuals can create literal and metaphorical space. This space allows for better stress management and enhances enjoyment in various aspects of life such as work, relationships, and health. Veerle boasts over a decade of experience in the business realm, having developed numerous workshops and training programs focusing on wellbeing, creativity, and communication. Through her webinar titled "Hoe creëer ik meer ademruimte mentaal en emotioneel?" (available in Dutch only), participants can invest in their company's most valuable asset: its people. Veerle Dobbelaere Human behaviour and emotions have no secrets for Veerle, since she masters them being an actress. As a professional certified coach she uses this experience to improve collaborators' well-being.

< back Building a Strong Organization with the 7 Pillars of Wellbeing More detailed information This is Ann's most requested "kick-off keynote." She is often asked to kickstart a Wellbeing program or add an extra dimension to a team day. This keynote can be tailored for management at a management away day or for all employees, focusing on the organization's needs. Ann, along with her audience, delves into the essence of workplace wellbeing through 7 powerful pillars. Each of these pillars forms a foundation for a healthy, thriving organization. The audience not only discovers how they can grow as individuals but also how they can collectively build a workplace that prioritizes wellbeing. 1. Company Culture and Values An organization is often judged not only by its products or services but also by the culture it fosters and the values it embraces. Company culture serves as the soul of the organization, the driving force behind all actions and decisions. A positive company culture creates an environment where employees feel valued, can be themselves, and take pride in their achievements. It goes beyond perks like ping pong tables and free fruit—it's about building relationships, promoting collaboration, and recognizing diversity. A strong company culture and clear values directly impact employee wellbeing, providing a sense of purpose and engagement. 2. The ABC of Workplace Happiness: Autonomy, Betrothal, and Competence Autonomy: Empowering employees to make decisions and take control of their tasks contributes to a sense of ownership and responsibility. Betrothal: Creating an environment where employees feel emotionally connected to their work and the organization's mission and vision not only enhances motivation but also strengthens team cohesion. Competence: Encouraging personal development, providing growth opportunities, and recognizing achievements lead to satisfaction. Ensure that everyone's talents are utilized to the fullest. 3. Mental Balance The modern hybrid work environment's hustle and bustle can take its toll. It's essential that we consciously make space for mental balance, which includes stress management and recognizing the value of focus, digital disconnection, and relaxation to maintain a resilient mind. 4. Physical Health A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. Physical health is the backbone of wellbeing. Promoting a healthy lifestyle, ergonomic workspaces, and physical activity energize employees. 5. Social Interaction Humans are social beings, and social contact is a necessary ingredient for wellbeing, although it might be a challenge in a hybrid work system. Encouraging a culture where team members regularly meet, support, and collaborate strengthens workplace bonds and has a positive impact on individual wellbeing. 6. Growth Perspectives Offering training, mentorship, coaching, and career development leads to more wellbeing and workplace happiness within your organization. Growth doesn't always have to be vertical; horizontal growth through job crafting and job rotation provides employees with opportunities. 7. Empathetic Leadership Good leadership is at the heart of organizational wellbeing. Leaders who show empathy create an environment where employees feel heard and valued. The ability to understand and respond to employees' needs contributes to a culture of respect and care, which is essential for an organization's wellbeing. With these seven pillars, we lay a solid foundation for a holistic wellbeing policy. Because wellbeing is more than just a few isolated initiatives. We are here to guide your organization through this journey. Request a quote Submit About Ann is a trailblazer in professionalizing well-being in the workplace.

< back Handling privacy breaches the smart way ​ More detailed information A constantly changing legal and regulatory environment is the “new normal” for privacy. The EU GDPR had a significant global impact since 2018 and inspired many other countries to renew their data protection regulations. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) went into effect in 2020. In addition, the global health crisis created concerns around new and emerging uses of personal data such as contact-tracing apps, telemedicine and network thermometers. As the complexity of privacy regulations increases, so does the responsibility for organizations to manage personal data and ensure their security and privacy teams are aligned to respond to potential privacy breaches. Data breaches are a constant threat for all organizations, and no matter how many policies, strategies or defenses there are, sooner or later a skilled attacker will be able to compromise them. In this presentation, Marc shows the importance of having a strong privacy practice including having robust policies, processes and tools in place to help manage data privacy and breach notification requirements. Employees should be regularly informed via training about basic privacy practices. HR, legal, compliance, security and IT are some of the teams affected by privacy and need to participate. In short, privacy is a team sport, and so are privacy breaches. The presentation shows which 5 steps need to be followed when a data breach occurs and mentions 10 appropriate technical and organisational measures to avoid possible data breaches.
