Trainingen

A training course is an opportunity to meet colleagues and talk to them about matters that may not be mentioned in another setting. This leads to recognition and a useful exchange of knowledge and experience. 

Our training style is geared towards letting people experience and discover what works best for them. Lecturing is kept to a minimum. After all, we work with clever people and they are perfectly capable of studying the theoretical bases. We use various methods that appeal to learning styles, such as hearing, seeing, experiencing, thinking and acting. The training is not reduced to practicing a number of tricks but becomes a useful tool to be integrated into the work practice of the organisation.   

Training courses include:
. Situational leadership
. Starter course academic leadership
. Acquisition and Earning power
. Academic visibility
. Influencing
. Negotiating
. Personal effectiveness 
. Effective communication
. The art of communication
. Time management
. Intercultural communication
. Work-life balance
. Stress coping skills
. Presentation
. Mastering your PhD
. Administrative skills.

Trainings can be designed according to clients’ wishes, or offered as short workshops.

Wytske van Ingen-Bouwsma is Controller at the faculty of Law of Leiden University. “Our Finance Department decided to follow a two-day course led by Aletta’s agency. Earlier, our team had taken a training course focused on individual development; now, the team felt the need to focus on the team as a whole and to create a collective vision of how we all function as a group. We had a kickoff session with Gilbert Bookelman in which we tried to find out how we could operate as a team while still benefiting from everyone's individual qualities and talents. Gilbert took us through a very interactive session using various training methods, including group discussions in which everyone could shar...

Prof. dr. Isabel Arends is Full Professor and group leader biocatalysis and organic chemistry at Delft University of Technology. “We asked Aletta to develop a personalized training program for a group of young scientists. We offer teachers who are ambitious and want to take the next step in their careers a program focused on personal development. It entails both group sessions and one-to-one coaching. A program of this kind is very valuable to young scientists who experience serious pressure every day. They're expected to strive for excellence when it comes to education and research, but they are also required to be good networkers and to reach out to companies and other organizations. These profess...

They will be working in a very complex environment and will have to depend not only on their academic expertise, but also on their skills, judgement, and ability to manage people. Aletta developed a custom-made coaching program especially focused on our tenure trackers. The program has three different modules: personal effectiveness, situational leadership, and acquisition and earning power. These abili...

Prof. dr. Vincenzo Vitelli is Professor theoretical physics at University Leiden “During my time as a tenure tracker, I was a participant in Aletta's custom-made coaching program focused on personal and professional development. I experienced these sessions as very valuable for both my career and my life. The philosophy behind this training was all about getting to understand yourself: your thoughts, emotions, and behavior. You can only be a good mentor or leader if you understand yourself and if you are able to reflect on your own behavior. Aletta is a fantastic person who has a real talent for understanding people. For example, she senses immediately when someone is being untruthful. That means we...

Prof. dr. Johan Ackaert is Dean of Law at University Hasselt.  “We had the feeling that we weren't acting professionally enough in the supervision of our PhD candidates. My colleagues and I each had our own way of working, and we used our own discretion. But trial and error just aren’t good enough. That's why we asked Aletta for help. Eight members of staff took the course on Situational Leadership together.  During the course, I learned how to get to the heart of the matter. Usually when there are issues with someone you work with, you can detect some subtle signs early on. There might be hiccups in your communication, it gets difficult to make appointments, ...
