Bedrijfsbezoek Witteveen+Bos | laat je verrassen
Op donderdag 30 april organiseert IMA Netherlands een exclusief bedrijfsbezoek aan Witteveen+Bos in Amsterdam Zuidoost. Een avond die inhoud, inspiratie en ontmoeting samenbrengt. Precies zoals wij dat bij IMA graag doen.
Dit event wordt aangeboden en georganiseerd in samenwerking met twee van onze leden, Annelies van Ankeren en Sawitri Chandie Shaw. Een prachtig voorbeeld van waar IMA voor staat: verbinding, het delen van best practices en elkaar verder helpen in onze professionele rol.
Waarom je hierbij wilt zijn.
Witteveen+Bos is misschien niet de meest voor de hand liggende organisatie, maar juist dát maakt dit bezoek zo interessant. Het kantoor in Amsterdam is onlangs volledig opnieuw ingericht en vormt het perfecte decor voor een kijkje achter de schermen bij een complexe, projectmatige organisatie.
Tijdens dit bedrijfsbezoek:
Dit is geen theoretisch verhaal, maar praktijk, reflectie en inspiratie, direct toepasbaar in je eigen werk.
Sharing best practices, zoals IMA dat bedoelt.
IMA-events draaien om leren van elkaar. Door leden, mét leden. Dit bedrijfsbezoek laat zien hoe krachtig het is wanneer leden hun organisatie openstellen en kennis delen. Je gaat naar huis met nieuwe inzichten, frisse ideeën en waardevolle contacten.
Praktische informatie
Een inspirerend bedrijfsbezoek, aangeboden door leden, voor leden.
Meld je hier aan!

Vores Half Training Day byder på et spændende indlæg ved Nanna Vestgård om, hvordan du styrker din gennemslagskraft. Nanna har været cheftaleskriver for et udvalg af ministre og idag træner hun ledere og medarbejdere i store danske virksomheder, så vi er i kompetente hænder.
Både medlemmer og potentielle medlemmer kan deltage i denne Half Training Day.
Styrk din gennemslagskraft med Nanna Vestgård
Hvad er det egentlig, gennemslagskraft er lavet af? Hvorfor lytter vi til nogle, mens andre bliver overhørt? Og hvordan kan du selv få mere gennemslagskraft og respekt, når du tager ordet foran dine kolleger og ledere?
Det er det, vi skal arbejde med på denne workshop, hvor retorisk rådgiver, Nanna Vestgård, vil afsløre hemmeligheden bag de helt konkrete redskaber, som gennemslagskraft består af. Med konkrete råd, eksempler og praktiske øvelser leverer Nanna en underholdende, konkret og motiverende workshop, som ruster alle deltagere til at tage ordet stærkere, klarere og mere overbevisende fremover.
