Be Evidence-Driven and don’t copy work without questioning
For a couple of years now I am the interim lead of learning programs at a specific client. I have developed and redesigned almost all of their (certification) programs. Recently I have redesigned a piece and I would like to share what happened. Every experienced trainer has slides on Perception. So does this workshop.…
In pieces
It’s July 2020. I don’t know the date, because dates often don’t make it to my long term memory. Not interesting enough. I am making a second ride on my brand new mountainbike (yes a COVID purchase). I wasn’t really sure whether I should go. I was a bit under the weather, tired and sleep…
Stop saying your employee with burn-out is an incident
I visit a lot of organizations throughout the year. I like to do that, because it always gives me insights on trends within organizations. About what things are specific for them and what are issues every organization is struggling with. Think about digital transformation, more prototyping ways of working and what are we going to…
How to utilise the L&D playground
I have been doing extensive thinking around the success and failure of learning programs. Of course we can never allocate failure or success to one particular factor. I think there is an L&D playground with so many factors to take into account, that this in itself might be the reason for some failure of learning…
Onboarding, give it a year!
I have to warn you, before you start reading this. It is not just about learning. It is also about my first year as a mum. But just to be clear, it is not a blog about being a mum. There are a lot of those out there, and I am not that type. It…

Pink Coat needed a breath of fresh air
2017 was quite the year… First of all, for me personally as I became a mum. Because of my leave I have had something I never had in my life. 3 weeks of doing nothing, and being unable to do anything. And then 3 months of not working. That gives you time to reflect. After…
Learning 2017: Blog 2. Smart people saying smart things at Learning 2017
Sometimes quotes and oneliners of speakers are enough to get a lot out of. I always get inspired by specific things people say. Whether there very conscious of choosing their words like Michelle Obama or whether they also like to try out new things like Julian Stodd, words are always somehow chosen in the brain…
Learning 2017: Blog 1. Key take aways.
Keep things short and simple is the message. We don’t read lengthy articles and watch video’s longer than 30 seconds. Unless it truly touches our intrinsic motivation. With that in mind I have cut my complete set of notes from Learning 2017 into 5 blogs. This first one is about my 4 take aways. Learning…
The power of a training design
2 weeks ago I attended a very special training program. A whole weekend, or actually 3 days, no phone, no smartwatch (Yes…) 50 strangers, 2 trainers and more importantly no idea what to expect. For years friends have encouraged me to go to “Be The Change”, in the Netherlands famous for the tv show “Over…
