    VOCO Brussels City North

  

  Do you ever regret saying yes too quickly? Or jumping straight into solution mode before checking in with yourself? Do you find it hard to say no without feeling guilty — especially when you want to be helpful, kind, and professional? 

  Mastering Assertiveness is a playful and empowering workshop for assistants who want to set boundaries without losing their role as the go-to person — but on their terms. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say... is a kind and clear no. Learn how to protect your time and energy with grace. Explore the power of pausing, spot your personal pitfalls, and turn them into strengths.

  The brand-new voco™ Brussels City North is located at the innovation campus of Living Tomorrow. The campus where they decide what tomorrow looks like. The hotel is situated amid a green landscape, but easily accessible via the E19 and E40 motorways.

  Location: Groningen, The Netherlands 

  REGISTER HERE!

  A Day to celebrate the past, present and future 

  Join us on Saturday, June 14, 2025, in the vibrant city of Groningen for a festive day in honor of the 50th anniversary of IMA Netherlands. We’ve put together a memorable program to celebrate this milestone with you: 

  • Welcome with coffee, tea and cake (of course) 

  • Guided tour through the iconic Forum Groningen 

  • Scenic canal cruise through the city 

  • Festive dinner and evening celebration at the historic Feithhuis 

  NITE 
  We kick off our program at the venue of NITE (Nationaal Interdisciplinair Theater Ensemble). The innovative collective known for pushing the boundaries of performance but also the work base of our member Yvonne den Burger. NITE merges dance, theater, and music into powerful storytelling. During our visit we will kick off our festive day and brief you about the program ahead.  

  The Forum Groningen – A living Landmark 
  A true architectural gem in the heart of the city, the Forum is more than a building. It’s a cultural statement. With its modern design, panoramic views, and unexpected corners, it offers endless possibilities for exploration and inspiration. During our visit, you'll get a guided tour and a peek behind the scenes of this extraordinary venue. Whether you’re planning a meeting or looking for a unique spot for a future event, the Forum offers a place for it - literally in every corner, room, or even stairwell. There is no place like it in the Netherlands. 

  Discover Groningen from the Water 
  Let the city reveal itself from the water as we board a canal cruise with Kool Rondvaarten. Relax and enjoy the ride as we glide through historic canals and under ancient bridges.  

  Celebrate in Style at Het Feithhuis 
  We end the day at one of Groningen’s most beautiful historic venues: Het Feithhuis. Located next to the Martinikerk, this charming building has been welcoming guests since the 17th century. With its elegant ambiance it's the perfect place to gather, reflect, and raise a glass to our shared journey. Enjoy a festive dinner, great conversations, and a night to remember—complete with music and dancing with DJ Werner de W. 

  Let’s celebrate 50 years of connection, development, and unforgettable memories together in Groningen.

  Digitaler Stress? Nicht mit dir!
  After-Work-Workshop "Stressbewältigung, digitale Entlastung & mentales Wohlbefinden" für Assistenzen mit Daniela Ullmann inkl. Getränke 

  Ständig Mails, Chats, Calls – und am Ende des Tages fühlst du dich ausgelaugt statt erfolgreich?
  Als Assistenz bist du oft erste Anlaufstelle, Informationsdrehscheibe und Ruhepol in einem. Doch wer ist eigentlich für dein mentales Wohlbefinden da?

  In diesem Workshop lernst du, wie du trotz hoher Anforderungen und Dauerkommunikation gesund, fokussiert und mit neuer Energie durch den Arbeitsalltag kommst.

  Was dich erwartet:
  Health Coach und Keynote Speakerin Daniela Ullmann zeigt dir alltagstaugliche Strategien für mehr digitale Balance und mentale Stärke – speziell zugeschnitten auf den Assistenz-Alltag:

  • Wie du deinen digitalen Stresslevel senkst – ohne gleich offline zu gehen
  • Self-Care-Rituale, die wirklich praktikabel sind (auch im Büro)
  • Mehr Fokus, Energie und Klarheit – statt Dauer-Alarmmodus
  • Impulse, Austausch und ein inspirierender Energizer für zwischendurch

  Als Geschenk erhältst du deine persönliche "Digital Well-being"-Checkliste – dein Wegbegleiter für einen bewussteren Umgang mit digitalen Tools und mehr Leichtigkeit im Alltag.

  Über die Trainerin:
  Daniela Ullmann ist ausgebildeter Health Coach, Speakerin und Workshop-Referentin mit Fokus auf mentale Gesundheit im Arbeitskontext. Sie inspiriert mit ihrer Expertise und Authentizität – und lebt, was sie weitergibt:
  "Health is not a goal, it’s a lifestyle."

  Zum Ausklang:
  Nach dem Workshop stoßen wir bei einem Getränk gemeinsam an und lassen den Abend locker ausklingen.
  Kleiner Hinweis: Snacks oder Essen sind diesmal nicht vorgesehen.

  Sei dabei – deine mentale Gesundheit ist es wert!
  Jetzt anmelden – die Plätze sind limitiert.

  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!
