  • Leadership

    Good leaders make all the difference. They provide direction, connection, and results. Our leadership programmes help managers gain a deeper understanding of themselves, communicate more effectively, and lead their teams with confidence. This leads to stronger leadership, better teamwork, and a greater sense of ownership across the organisation.

    Available as a bespoke in-house programme or as an open-enrolment programme for individual participants.

    From self-awareness to visible leadership.

  • Team development

    An organization’s success comes down to the quality of its teams. When team members understand, trust, and strengthen one another, it creates the perfect space for real growth and results.

    With our team development programmes, we help teams work together more effectively and bring out the best in themselves and each other. We can do this through a dedicated team programme, a team away day, or a themed session covering topics like generation management, personal leadership, resilience, happiness at work, and communication.

    From working together to real team power.

    Inspiring and educational morning with Carpe Vita

    On Thursday 15 May, Rabobank held an inspiring Insights Discovery morning, organised by Carpe Vita — with special thanks to Petra Groot-Nibbelink. It was an incredibly fun and educational experience for the 90 Rabobank colleagues who took part. The morning started with a comprehensive introduction from Petra, who walked the participants through the ins and outs of Insights Discovery. By sharing a personal story, she made the material truly tangible. After that, we got to work with the profiles. The trainers managed to bring the theory to life in an approachable and energetic way, with plenty of room for interaction and personal insights.

    The atmosphere was relaxed yet professional, the programme was well put together, and it really brought the team closer. As if that wasn’t enough, they also brought some beautiful weather along with them — a lovely bonus!

    We ran the Happiness at Work scan for our internal and external teams. The pillar structure, along with the detailed analysis, clearly highlights where the strength of that happiness lies and, consequently, where the positive dynamic can be found.

    At the same time, it pinpoints exactly where the challenges lie within your organisation. In my view, the scan is an essential tool for any organisation looking to achieve its ambitions. Expressing passion and energy is the foundation for growth. With the new way of working (remotely), this has only become more crucial.

    I found Petra to be a wonderful coach! She has a wealth of in-depth knowledge. She knows exactly what tools to apply at just the right moment, which is incredibly helpful and allows you to make huge strides in your development in a short space of time. She tunes in perfectly to what is needed, drawing on her great empathy and understanding. She ensures you actively put your insights and everything you’ve learnt to work; theory becomes practice. In short: highly valuable, and a form of coaching I would wish for anyone. It was a brilliantly educational day!

    The FSNL team would like to thank you both for an experience that was both enlightening and enriching. It was a day where we laughed together in a completely safe space, with the occasional tear along the way. It was a long and intense day. However, we were able to end it on a positive note and headed home with a bag full of knowledge and new skills. We look back on it very fondly and hope to put the skills we’ve learnt into practice.

    Petra introduced the staff at Het Vergeten Kind to Insights Discovery in a wonderfully pleasant way. She is highly skilled, quickly builds a connection with her audience, and knows exactly how to get a dialogue going. She created a relaxed atmosphere where everyone felt they could speak openly and honestly with one another. It was also a pleasure working with her during the preparation, and together we quickly figured out the right structure for the training.
