Structure – Mindset – System
The ultimate development goal is to increase your efficacy. As a trainer, coach, and change manager I support you and your organisation in stretching your communication skills; and enhancing your presence and performance. This requires clarity and structure in your messages, a full understanding of everyone‘s expectations, motifs and biases (mindset); and alignment with your environment (systemic coherence).
As a Trainer for Communication, Leadership and Transformation, I develop and conduct leadership development programmes with a thematic focus on customized communication; persuasive power; leadership and executive presence; team-building and high-performance teams; cultural fit; motivation and accountability; conflict and change management; and problem-solving competence. My workshops and leadership programmes are tailored to your organization’s needs and in conducting them, I understand myself as an ambassador of your corporate vision and missions.
Many thanks for the very intensive hours during which we discussed my personal strengths and selected them according to priority lists. We developed this triangle as a marker for my drivers, needs and personality structure.
My coaching goal of optimising and categorising my tasks and align my team´s resources to protect personal performance was clearly achieved. My clear conclusion about Katrien as a coach: clear, motivating, structuring.
I am convinced that one-to-one coaching is a valuable experience. However, the quality of this experience strongly depends on whether coach and coachee harmonise. This is the case with Katrien and me. I am very enthusiastic about our cooperation.
The 2 days were time well spent, we dealt intensively with ourselves as managers and not with the "usual" specialist topics. This is also part of my personal conclusion to the workshop and I would like to thank you once again for the organisation and implementation.
I feel that coaching has put me in the right place. The self-confident and determined part of my character has developed really clearly. I sometimes don´t recognise myself when I raise my voice in a meeting and the participants listen to me naturally and follow my contribution.
The results were fantastic! The course itself was very helpful andd prepared the participants to have conversations with clients at the highest level. I would like to thank you personally for your part in this course, and indeed for the guidance and coaching you gave me.
Katrien has proven worthy of the nickname “Book me if you dare”. Uncomfortable and therefore just right for us.
I thought the results and content, as well as your way of leading and conducting the seminar, were great. It was probably the best workshop I've ever attended, thank you!
It's always fascinating how you filter and distil things and bring in input from outside/above.
Thank you very much for always getting to the heart of the matter and, of course, for your high-quality work in our in-house FKE programme.
My participation in your leadership development programme was great. I'm a fan!
Thank you for activating us again and making us aware of our role model function. I realise this is really relevant and is sometimes neglected in daily business.
I really appreciate the guidance that you are proving me and learning a lot about myself.
Ms Wayenberg conducted this seminar in a wonderfully lively manner, encouraged the exchange of ideas, and was an expert at all times. She incorporated her profound specialist knowledge and her ability to engage with the individual perspectives of the participants into the seminar in a highly effective, unobtrusive, professional, experienced and charming manner.
Thank you once again for the lively and inspiring moderation yesterday.
Thank you, Katrien Wayenberg, for a brilliant EDI programme.
Thank you very much for the very inspiring session. I'm sure you noticed your enthusiasm came across. That's why I recommended you straight away.
Comments on the trainer: ‘Top!
Feedback is both the most subtle and the most powerful leadership tool for affirming and developing people. It takes objectivity, structure, tact and strategy to communicate feedback effectively. The delicate thing about feedback is getting people to accept it and at the same time making them feel responsible so that they change accordingly. I will show you how to achieve this balancing act in our 1-hour, free online event. Register now and meet others who are committed to increase their leadership impact on their team members. I look forward to seeing you!
Modern companies and managers expect a threefold performance from their employees. The traditional 'task performance' measures the quality and quantity of tasks completed. However, employees should also contribute to a good working environment ('contextual performance'). And it is the real agile companies that also expect 'adaptive performance', which measures the ability of the employee to work in a future-oriented manner. In this 1-hour free online seminar, we will look at the 3 performances, the interaction between them, and the need to address these 3 parameters in an employee appraisal. Register for this learning nugget to learn more about this easy-to-apply, yet powerful tool. I look forward to seeing you!
Persuasion is the greatest change intervention of all. We are persuasive when we get people to think what they had not thought before; and to do what they had never done before. In this 1-hour online seminar, I highlight the 8 necessary steps that we need to take in order to persuade our audiences. On each step of this 8-step staircase, there are barriers, blockages and biases we need to overcome, strategically and communicatively. Persuasion works methodically; and I will be happy to present my iterative model in this 1-hour online event. I look forward to meeting you!
