In addition to full training courses, we offer inspiration sessions: short sessions for large groups on focus and related topics such as behavior change, stress and sleep. Our trainers cover the key insights and challenges within the theme in a nutshell. A fun and accessible way to inspire your entire team or organization!

The inspiration session Focus ON/OFF is a fun and approachable way to gain insight into the importance of focus. In interaction with the group, we discuss recent insights and research on concentration and attention and the challenges in this area.

During this inspiring session, we'll explain attention residue, a concept from neuropsychology, using the Flow Curve. Then we will delve deeper into the question: what is the impact of distraction?

With the increasing number of stimuli, distraction is increasingly a social problem. We won't solve this with a session, but we can take the first step: awareness. By sharing knowledge and insights about attention and concentration, we hope to inspire people to improve their focus.

During this session, Thijs Launspach will address the question: how do you keep a cool head in a world of performance pressure, hustling, and hard work? There is nothing wrong with hard work itself, but it becomes problematic when you are working so hard that it affects your health.

Coping with the pressure to perform involves external pressure, but also how you deal with it as an individual. Managing stress in a healthy way means recognizing your own signals, taking good care of yourself, and knowing what you can do to reduce stress.
