workshops

With my expertise as a coach and my roots in science and higher education I organise various workshops; online en live.
The workshops consider several themes, al related to common coaching questions. 

  •  How do I develop myself, authentically, in a direction that suits me?
  • How can I utilize my creativity? How can I both structure and stimulate this? 

Workshops are not as in-depth as individual coaching sessions, but the added value of the workshops is sparring with your peers. Most workshops teach some basic knowledge, provide a platform for peer sparring and work creatively and interactively on your own quest for your own answers. I use a way of working that not merely searches for words, but also provide ways to get to know yourself better using visual expression. 
Dates; for dates of the workshops, See Agenda below.

Science & identity

Currently, things are starting to move in academia. Academic careers are no longer merely about publishing and H-indeces, but also about your vision on how you can contribute to science, and to society. This enables you to take leadership on your career, to go for your own mission and vision. Writing a narrative CV, for example, requires that you can make this vision explicit. Who are you as a scientist? Having a sense of ‘what really matters to you’ can be useful in this context. The workshop Science & Identity can help you to find out.

This may be helpful not only when writing your narrative CV for grant applications, but also when choosing your own focus as a PhD-student, or finding your career path with your own balance between research, education, societal impact, team efforts and leadership. The recognition & rewards movement aims to offer a framework for academic careers, with more room for your own balance. Finding out what makes you tick, may enable you to see and go for more opportunities. Besides, it is much easier to get energy out of your job, when you know what is really important to you.   

In this workshop you are offered background knowledge on scientific identity, a platform for thought-sharing with peers, and guidance by a professional coach with a background in science and education.

Because many of these items are hard to express in words I use (abstract) art, as a way to have access not only to your rational answers but also the intuitive knowledge. 

The online version of the workshops is adapted to an online setting; twice 1,5  – 2  hour, preceded by an individual session. In between the sessions there is time to let things sink in. The live workshops have two sessions of 3 hours.   The workshops have 4-6 participants. 

Dates: See the agenda at the bottom of this page.

Costs: 250 € p.p. Online. 350 € p.p. LIVE

Language: This workshop will usually be held in English, depending on the participants.  

When you are interested but not able to attend on the dates mentioned,  feel free to email me. With enough participants I will plan a workshop. Tailor made versions for your team or organization are also possible. 

 

“In the workshop Science and Identity Ineke makes you think, with the help of art, in a surprising manner about your questions. By exchanging thoughts with Ineke and the other participants you get new ideas and inspiration.”

“Working with art is an original way to look differently at yourself and your research. It is also fun to discuss about it with colleague PhD-`s, and to learn from each others perspectives, while Ineke is thinking along and guiding the conversation in a pleasant way. “

Teaching & identity

This workshop is about the question what education means to you, and how you can remain authentic in your role in education. Recently this question gets many new sides, while a lot of online education is taking over the regular teaching, while you heart as a teacher lies with the contact with your pupils / students. This workshop is meant primarily for teachers from all levels in education; primary, high school, MBO, HBO and HE. Goal is to obtain insight in one or more aspects of your work as a teacher, that you like to strengthen or keep, in order to get more energy out of your work. 

With several basic concepts, a brainstorm on “Being a teacher” and inspiring experiences from teachers whose heart is with education ever since, the participants discuss on what really matters to them. Because many of these items are hard to express in words I use (abstract) art, as a way to have access not only to your rational answers but also the intuitive knowledge. I have little answers, but many questions that make you think and form the basis for the conversation, with me and each other, about what really matters to you as a scientist. 

The online version of the workshops is adapted to an online setting; twice 1,5  – 2  hour, preceded by an individual session. In between the sessions there is time to let things sink in. The live workshops have two sessions of 3 hours.   The workshops have 4-6 participants.

“I had relaxing and informative days. It was very special to be able to show parts of myself by using art, and discover what is sometimes hard to express in words. Because of the space to listen to other people`s experience and reflect on this, we also succeeded as a group to take a whole step. A course with depth!”

 

“A workshop that reveals many things you did not know about yourself, get confirmed what you were unsecure about and can go to work with renewed passion. A quiet standing still with what you do and want, en with the right questions and input, guided by an open and  inspired coach, it is a valuable moment for yourself.“

Workshop Structuring and stimulating creativity

Many creative minds are full of ideas. On the one hand so much that you like to structure it. On the other hand many moments when you wish you coyuld be creative on command.  This workshop explores the background of creativity, both neubiologically as well as psychologically and cognitively. 

We discuss several ways to structure creativity, like mindmapping. Besides we explore ways to stimulate creativity. This differs for everyone, and the background knowledge of these mechanisms is discussed.  

Peers can exchange thoughts on what works, and we can have a closer look on several ways of working. This enable you to develop ingrediënt for your own toolbox, in order to utilize your creativity at most. 

Challenging your comfort zone

Mostly it is comfortable, but not always the most challenging and pleasant to stay in your comfort zone.  But it can be very agitating as well. Knowing you want something different, but not knowing how. You need to take a step, cross a line. This workshop learns the basic knowledge about the comfort zone, and gives a practical acquaintance with your just-not-reachable-goals, and the possibility to attempt the route there.

What people say about illustra

“My personal coaching sessions with Ineke were scheduled as part of Honours Change Leaders program at the University of Twente. She asked pointed questions that made me think and question my motives and reasoning behind my goals. I think that is one of the important takeaways for me from these sessions: asking the right questions. These sessions were mentally stimulating and insightful.”

“I greatly appreciated the sessions with Ineke, who helped me to move forward with my personal goals.With the help of Ineke’s unique insights, her attention and questions, I managed to see some things from a different perspective and that really helped me to develop further by learning from past experiences. I am completely satisfied and can only describe the sessions as an opportunity for my internal growth.”

“During the eight months of coaching, Ineke helped me to figure out what I exactly want to do, why I haven’t done certain things and where I am really good at. She enabled me to put goals based on my own values and to focus on the things which really matter to me.

Ineke is a very energetic, creative, empathetic and intelligent person. She dares to ask all sorts of questions, to experiment with different techniques and approaches. At the end of each session, she was capable to bring all the input back to the initial question. Ineke loves coaching and this is evident in each moment. And it was fun.

From the beginning, there was the right chemistry between us. I couldn’t have thought about a better coach for my situation. Thank you for giving me this nice opportunity to see myself from a different perspective.”
