Facilitation

Curious to experience a meeting, team-building day, event or multi-day gathering that invites everyone to contribute to what truly matters?

Coming together can profoundly shape what happens next. I’m passionate about creating meaningful experiences, combining internationally proven methods with a sharp focus on your unique needs and circumstances.

With your next meeting in mind, is any of these issues alive for you? 

• Create clarity and alignment: uncover what you could be doing together, and how you want to work together.
• Improve, innovate, brainstorm: explore untapped innovation potential in the organisation, or identify how you can improve day-to-day collaboration. Invite everyone to think along, learn from each other, and figure out the next steps. 
• Build trust relationships: deepen bonds with colleagues or connect with new collaborators. 
• Address challenges or opportunities: resolve conflict or make progress on a burning topic. 
• Shape a participatory work culture: invite people to express ideas and to take leadership.  

Training and coaching

While we work with your specific challenges, you develop your skills or learn new practical approaches for more effective collaboration.

Together with you, I create a training, development programme or workshop that fits your needs and helps your team to learn and develop.

What are you struggling with?  

• Trust and mutual support: how to proactively build the connection and trust to do your best work together? How to support each other in the challenges you face?
• Participatory meetings: how to design and run meetings in a way that creates a more participatory culture? How to make effective decisions together?
• Shared language for collaboration: how to communicate about tensions you experience? What are concepts and approaches that help you build shared understanding of the work you’re doing?
• Inner skills: what are practical tools for inner development, that help you to work well together?
• Conscious collectives: how to grow collectives where everyone is enabled to act entrepreneurially? How to thrive in a culture that is highly participatory?

“You greatly contributed to the success of this meeting – we got lots of thanks and positive feedback. I believe we achieved our main goals, which were to get people motivated, inspired and wanting to commit, as well as create ideas that may translate into concrete actions during the project.”

“During the Enspiral Winter Gathering 2022, it became clear that An is not only a connoisseur of the hosting toolkit, but also a master of subtlety. With her invitations, presence and body language, she made calm moments calmer, deep conversations deeper and nurtured spaces where participants could easily open up about difficult topics.”

– Joriam Philipe, community builder

“An coordinates and facilitates with a good dose of humour, warmth and craftsmanship. Her strength lies in building relationships, and she knows how to leverage them to streamline the process well. Her flexibility and professionalism make her a pleasant facilitator. Thanks, An!”

– Mees Schouwenaar, project leader School Leaders for the Future (Schoolleiders voor de Toekomst)
