Feedback That Engages and Works So important – yet so challenging!
Why do many hesitate to give feedback? What are we afraid of – and why doesn’t feedback always work as we intend?
As an EA or PA, you play a key role in fostering good communication and motivation within your team. The ability to provide constructive feedback is essential for building strong relationships, driving development, and ensuring effective collaboration.
In this interactive workshop, Lise Grevle Teien and Nancy Fandler Brodin from Fandler Brodin & Partners will provide insights, techniques, and practical tools to help you master feedback that truly works.
✅ Learn how to use feedback to: ✔️ Adjust and improve performance and results ✔️ Promote learning and development ✔️ Strengthen relationships and build a trust-based culture ✔️ Increase motivation, meaning, and engagement ✔️ Contribute to a safe and open work environment
Avoid the pitfalls! Poor feedback can create distance and uncertainty – but when done right, it can motivate, inspire, and have a powerful impact.
Join the workshop “Feedback That Engages and Works” and gain new perspectives and tools you can apply immediately!

Meet Your Peers & HeartMath Workshop
4 september |17:30 - 21:30 | Kontakt der Kontinenten, Soesterberg
Een krachtige combinatie: eerst ontmoeten we elkaar informeel en genieten we van een heerlijk diner, daarna duiken we met HeartMath-trainer Ellis Samsom in stressregulatie, focus en veerkracht.
Kontakt der Kontinenten is een voormalig klooster én missiehuis met een wereldse uitstraling en een warme, open sfeer. De locatie biedt volop ruimte voor netwerken, verdieping en rust. Ellen Warnar heet ons welkom en verzorgt een rondleiding over deze inspirerende plek, waarbij ze meer vertelt over de mogelijkheden van Kontakt der Kontinenten.
Daarna genieten we samen van een verzorgd 2-gangendiner. Bij mooi weer verplaatsen we ons voor de workshop naar een van de sfeervolle buitenplekken in de bostuin of op het zonnige terras. Een unieke setting die perfect aansluit bij de inhoud en beleving van deze avond.
Altijd ‘aan’? Tijd om te leren hoe je bewust ‘uit’ kunt schakelen, zónder in te leveren op impact.
Als executive assistant sta jij midden in de actie. Je schakelt razendsnel, anticipeert, lost op, coördineert. Maar wie coördineert jou? Wanneer de druk piekt, deadlines op je afvuren en je hoofd overuren maakt, is het cruciaal dat je één vaardigheid beheerst: zelfregulatie. En precies dáár komt HeartMath in beeld.
IMA Netherlands presenteert een exclusieve 90-minuten introductieworkshop met gecertificeerd trainer Ellis Samsom. Geen zweverig gedoe, wel wetenschappelijk onderbouwde technieken die direct werken. Je leert hoe je stress omzet in focus, rust én veerkracht, gewoon tijdens je werkdag.
Deze workshop is geen nice-to-have. Het is jouw toolset voor de nieuwe realiteit: werken op hoog niveau, met behoud van energie, helderheid en regie. Je ervaart:
Over HeartMath
HeartMath is een methode die ademhaling, biofeedback en hartcoherentie combineert tot één krachtig systeem. Het is ontwikkeld voor mensen die onder druk presteren en toch rust en regie willen houden. Praktisch. Meetbaar. Impactvol. Ellis Samsom is expert in stressregulatie en mentale focus. Haar stijl: nuchter, to-the-point en gebaseerd op wetenschap. Ze traint professionals om vanuit rust betere keuzes te maken en meer grip te krijgen op zichzelf én hun omgeving.
Durf jij je innerlijke powerhouse te activeren? Meld je aan voor 28 augustus en ontdek wat HeartMath voor jouw werk en welzijn kan betekenen.

IMA Norway's Fall Conference 2025
Theme: The Future Executive Assistant - Technology, Changes, and Collaboration
Date: Monday, 10th November, 08:30-21:00
Venue: Scandic Fornebu Hotel
Registration: Early Bird registration opens in August.
Are you ready for the future?
AI technology is developing rapidly, and in just two years, AI agents will be able to perform our administrative tasks faster and with perfect precision. This will revolutionise the interaction between leaders and assistants, giving us a more strategic and advisory role where human skills become crucial.
How can we ensure that we remain relevant in our role? The key to this will be to have a positive attitude towards new technology, change, and a strong desire to be part of development. Equally important is developing and nurturing our human skills – those that connect people and build trust in relationships.
At this year's conference, you will hear inspiring talks from renowned and engaging speakers who will prepare us for our future roles. This is an unique opportunity to learn, grow, and be part of an exciting future.
Join us at the conference! You will leave with increased insight, motivation, joy, and greater professional pride.

Woudschoten Hotel & Conferentiecentrum, Zeist
Cultivating Personal Leadership
After the International Conference in Hasselt, where Empowering Leadership takes center stage, we’ll continue straight into a deeper exploration. After all, inspiration only becomes valuable when you translate it into your daily work. Together with leadership trainer Varinka Bouma, you will immerse yourself in two powerful workshops.
You’ll learn how to strengthen your influence, enhance your presence, and transform conflicts into connection. Expect an interactive day full of eye-openers, reflection, and new tools you can apply immediately. This is a deep dive into your personal leadership, alongside peers who understand what it means to work at the highest level. And all of this takes place at the beautiful Woudschoten Hotel & Conference Centre in Zeist, surrounded by forest.

About Varinka Bouma
Varinka is a relationship architect. Whether working with teams or executives, her mission is the same: to strengthen the connections that make everything else work.
“Executive Assistants are the quiet powerhouses of any organization, influencing far more than what’s on your job description. When your presence and influence grow, so does your impact. You are far more than a support function, you are a leader in your own right. And this workshop is designed to help you own that”.
For IMA members we offer this full day of training for EUR 120,-*.
Guest are welcome to join, the regular price of EUR 145,-* applies.
This includes coffee, tea, water & snacks during the training, a delightful lunch and drinks after the training.
