Tailored to your budget and timeline Depending on the terms agreed between you and your employer, the value of the outplacement services may differ. While some providers may be suggested, an employee is typically free to choose the kind of services that will be most beneficial to them and hire the services of the expert that they trust and want to work with. If you are currently negotiating your exit package, it may be worth exploring whether outplacement and career coaching support can be included. If you would like to make use of an already agreed outplacement budget, please get in touch to receive a personalised offer tailored to your goals and timeline.

The process combines self-awareness (strengths, values, motivations) with a practical understanding of the job market, ensuring that your next step is both meaningful and realistic. LaMatu provides both strategic career planning and tactical support in identifying opportunities and successfully applying for jobs on the Dutch job market. Career planning is at the core of LaMatu’s coaching approach and goes far beyond identifying your next step. We will work on defining your long-term direction, including whether a leadership or management path is right for you, and how to position yourself for it. The process also addresses the future of work, helping you identify relevant skills, learning and development priorities, and opportunities for continuous growth, your strengths and transferable skills as well as possible gaps that need to be bridged. Together, we translate your values, and ambitions into a clear, strategic plan that supports both your immediate next step and your long-term career development. Exploring new career paths can include new professions, industries, types of organisations or entrepreneurship or new roles such as becoming a manager. Your positioning in the job market and job search strategy A successful job transition starts with clear positioning and a focused job search strategy. This part of the outplacement process helps you define your professional objective, identify suitable target roles, clarify your preferred sectors, and understand how your experience, strengths, values, and ambitions translate into the current job market. Together, we map your professional environment and identify where the strongest opportunities may be found. This can include creating a focused list of potential employers, analysing relevant labour market trends, identifying gaps in skills or experience, and deciding how to bridge them. The aim is to help you move through the job transition process with greater clarity, structure and confidence, rather than applying reactively or spreading your energy too widely. Personal branding for the Dutch market including CV and LinkedIn Strong application materials and clear professional visibility are essential during a successful job transition. This part of the outplacement process focuses on creating or refining your CV, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, professional positioning and personal brand, with attention to the expectations of the Dutch labour market. You will receive practical guidance on how to present your experience, strengths and career story in a way that is clear, credible and relevant to your target roles. This may include defining your exit statement, developing career storytelling techniques, refining your LinkedIn profile with an optimised keyword strategy, and creating impactful application documents tailored to the Dutch market. You can also gain access to a digital CV-building tool designed for the Dutch market. This is an iterative process, often involving several versions of your CV, LinkedIn profile or cover letter. You will receive concrete feedback, practical tips and strategic input to help strengthen your professional visibility. Where relevant, LaMatu can also provide tailored feedback on your work portfolio, ensuring that all elements of your professional presentation support your overall positioning and job search strategy. Curated lists of international and expat-friendly employers Finding the right employer and identifying the suitable job openings can be one of the most time-consuming parts of a career transition, particularly for international professionals who do not speak Dutch fluently or are unfamiliar with the Dutch labour market. LaMatu clients can receive access to carefully researched lists of international and expat-friendly organisations across the Randstad and beyond. Companies are organised by industry and location, making it easier to identify employers that match your experience, interests, language profile and preferred commuting area. The resource includes organisations in Amsterdam, Schiphol, Haarlem, Utrecht, Rotterdam, The Hague, Leiden, Delft and other business hubs throughout the Netherlands. It spans a wide range of sectors, including technology, finance, professional services, FMCG, life sciences, logistics, fashion, media, retail, sustainability and the public sector. Rather than limiting your search to vacancies that happen to appear on major job boards, these curated employer lists help you build a broader and more strategic target-company approach. You can use them to research potential employers, follow relevant organisations, identify hiring patterns, approach people in your network and uncover opportunities before they are widely advertised. The lists are selected and discussed in the context of your individual career goals, helping you focus your time and energy on organisations where your international background and professional experience are more likely to be valued. Support with identifying job opportunities Finding the right next role requires more than responding to vacancies on major job boards. LaMatu helps you build a focused and proactive job-search strategy based on your experience, transferable skills, career goals, preferred industries and geographical preferences. Together, you will identify suitable roles, develop a clear target-company list and explore the most relevant routes into the Dutch and international job market. This may include specialist job platforms, expat-friendly recruitment agencies, executive search firms, professional networks, industry communities, career events and direct approaches to potential employers. LaMatu clients can also benefit from carefully researched resources developed through years of working with international professionals in the Netherlands. These include curated lists of international and English-speaking employers across the Randstad and beyond, organised by industry and location, as well as directories of recruiters, networking organisations and job-search platforms. You will learn how to research companies strategically, recognise where your international background may add value, use LinkedIn more effectively and uncover opportunities through referrals, networking and the hidden job market. The aim is to broaden your search while keeping it focused, so that your time and energy are directed towards realistic opportunities that align with your professional profile and ambitions. Outreach strategy, communicating with recruiters and hiring managers Effective communication with recruiters and hiring managers can significantly influence the outcome of your job search. LaMatu helps you develop a clear, professional outreach strategy for approaching recruiters, talent acquisition specialists, hiring managers and potential employers with confidence. You will learn how to introduce yourself concisely, communicate your professional value, tailor your message to different audiences and make your outreach feel relevant rather than generic. Support may include LinkedIn connection requests, direct messages, recruiter follow-ups, speculative applications, networking emails, informational interview requests and responses to potential opportunities. Together, you can refine your professional pitch, decide when and how to follow up, prepare for initial recruiter conversations and communicate clearly about your experience, transferable skills, career goals, salary expectations and availability. You will also explore how to build relationships with specialist recruitment agencies, remain visible to relevant contacts and approach the hidden job market more strategically. The aim is to create an outreach strategy that feels authentic, focused and professional, helping you build meaningful connections and increase your chances of being considered for suitable roles. Support with strategic networking for a successful job transition Events and networking focus on identifying and selecting the most relevant events to attend, while equipping you with practical tips for building and maintaining a strong professional network. Strategic networking can play an important role in a successful job transition, especially in the Dutch labour market, where many opportunities emerge through professional relationships, referrals, informal conversations, and industry visibility. As part of the outplacement process, LaMatu can provide curated lists of valuable networking opportunities, including relevant career fairs, industry events, professional communities, business networks, and expat-friendly networking platforms. This includes guidance on gathering meaningful references and recommendations, as well as developing effective online and offline networking strategies. You will also learn how to prepare confidently for career fairs and relevant industry events, so you can approach conversations with clarity, build valuable connections, and maximise opportunities during your career transition. Psychometric and personality assessments LaMatu works with proven methods such as scientifically developed psychometric tests. Personality, strengths and values assessments are an important part of LaMatu’s coaching and training approach. Depending on your goals, and if you are open to this method, we may integrate tools such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), EQ-i 2.0, Insights Discovery, or VIA Character Strengths into our sessions. These tests provide valuable insights into communication styles, decision-making preferences, and natural strengths. Individual coaching clients are welcome to share results from previously conducted personality assessments such as Hogan Personality Inventory, CliftonStrengths, DiSC Personality Assessment, Gallup, Belbin, Birkman, Enneagram, Human Design, Big Five Personality Traits, or Calliper Profile and we will use them as a starting point for deeper exploration. Personality insights are undeniably intriguing — but insight alone is not transformation. The real value of personality assessments lies in how they help you understand yourself more deeply: how you make decisions, communicate under pressure, relate to others, and where your natural strengths are most likely to shine. This level of self-awareness can become a powerful foundation for career development, leadership growth, and more fulfilling professional relationships. Ready to move beyond labels and turn insight into action? Through individual coaching, we can use personality frameworks as a starting point for deeper reflection and practical change — helping you better understand your patterns, unlock your strengths, and make intentional choices about your future career. Practical job interview preparation LaMatu helps develop a winning interview strategy and prepare thoroughly for different types of job interviews, from initial recruiter screenings to interviews with hiring managers and senior decision-makers. To support you in the job interview preparation, you will receive a workbook containing 150 popular job interview questions as well as suggestions for questions that you can ask at the end of the job interview. During our sessions, we can practice mock interviews and help you develop a compelling narrative to answer tough interview questions. Together, you will clarify your strengths, values, goals and transferable skills, develop compelling stories for challenging interview questions and practise your responses through realistic mock interviews. Where relevant, personality assessments can provide additional insight into your communication style and help you present yourself with greater confidence and self-awareness. You will also gain practical guidance on Dutch working culture, intercultural communication and how to connect effectively with recruiters and employers in an international professional environment. Referrals to trusted professionals In addition, clients can benefit from referrals to trusted professionals, including headshot photographers and personal image stylists for interview preparation, financial advisors, employer of record intermediaries, immigration lawyers for visa-related matters, and employment lawyers for contract reviews or settlement negotiations. Cultivating job offers and salary negotiation Cultivating and securing offers involves receiving targeted support throughout contract negotiations, helping you close out your job search with confidence and clarity. It also includes guidance on preparing your announcement as you transition, along with practical tips for successful onboarding and navigating the probation period. In addition, you will design a focused 100‑day success plan to ensure a strong and strategic start in your new position. #### Choose Your Outplacement Package Choose a value package of multiple sessions.

LaMatu is here to help you explore your next step! ![Signature of Monika from LaMatu Professional Coaching Services - Version 3](https://lamatu.com/wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/signature-monika-3-piq2nw74r6led9cc0lzg7smzckvanak3azuvj809ea.png "Signature 3 of Monika from LaMatu Professional Coaching Services") #### Frequently Asked Questions ##### Find the answers to the most frequently asked questions about outplacement trajectories offered by LaMatu. When can I make use of outplacement services? You can make use of LaMatu’s outplacement services whenever you are preparing to leave an organisation and need professional support with your next career step. This may apply when: · You have been offered a settlement agreement, mutual termination agreement or Dutch vaststellingsovereenkomst (VSO) · Your position has been made redundant · You are leaving through a voluntary departure scheme · You are affected by layoffs, downsizing or a company reorganisation · You are returning to the job market after a prolonged absence or career break · Your employer is closing a department, relocating operations or restructuring the business · You are negotiating a severance package, redundancy package or exit package · Your fixed-term contract is ending and your employer has offered career transition support · You have been placed on garden leave or are preparing for the end of your employment · You want to change direction following burnout, or organisational changes · You and your employer have agreed that a transition to another role or organisation would be the best next step How can LaMatu support me during a transition period? Yes, coaching can be highly valuable during a transition such as during mutual separation process during negotiating a settlement agreement with your employer. Periods of organisational change or negotiated separation often involve important professional decisions, emotional pressure and questions about future direction. Coaching can provide a confidential and structured space to reflect, prepare and make thoughtful decisions about your next steps. This may include career strategy, confidence-building, interview preparation, CV and LinkedIn positioning, leadership transitions or exploring new professional directions. Do I need to go through all the steps? LaMatu provides 100% bespoke individual support to all of its clients. You could compare it to an à la carte order where you get to choose from the menu of options available only those that will further support you at the current stage of your career. Depending on your specific situation, not all of the steps may be relevant. While the most popular topics and resources are featured on this page, it is by no means an exhaustive list. At the same time, shorter trajectories may simply not allow sufficient time to cover all the topics. Can my employer pay for this support? Dutch employers often include professional development, retraining or outplacement budgets as part of redundancy or mutual separation agreements. These budgets typically may be used to support an individual outplacement career coaching trajectory, depending on the terms agreed between you and your employer. If you are currently negotiating your exit package, it may be worth exploring whether coaching support can be included. Your outplacement trajectory may be funded through an employer-provided outplacement budget, career coaching budget, learning and development budget, retraining allowance, professional development budget, mobility budget or another amount included in your severance or settlement agreement. You can also book an outplacement trajectory privately when no employer-funded budget is available. In all cases upfront payment is required prior to starting an outplacement trajectory. In some cases the payment is handled directly by the employer. In other cases the employee advances the payment out of their own pocket to be reimbursed by the employer on the basis of an invoice and proof of payment. For specific requests related to invoicing, cost reimbursement and payment terms for corporate clients please send an email with the details of your inquiry. Can I ask for coaching as part of my exit package? In the Netherlands, employers may include a budget for career coaching, outplacement, professional development, retraining or education as part of a redundancy package, severance arrangement, exit agreement or mutual termination agreement. This may also be included in a Dutch settlement agreement, known as a vaststellingsovereenkomst or VSO, or in another agreement relating to dismissal, reorganisation, redundancy or the termination of employment. Depending on the terms negotiated with your employer, the available budget may be used for an individual outplacement or career transition coaching trajectory with LaMatu. If you are facing redundancy, negotiating an exit package or reviewing a mutual settlement agreement, it may be worth asking whether personalised career coaching, outplacement support or retraining can be included. LaMatu works with international professionals who are navigating job loss, redundancy, career transition or a negotiated departure and are looking for high-quality, personalised support rather than a standardised outplacement programme. A complimentary Discovery Call offers an opportunity to discuss your situation and explore the available options. Which payment options does LaMatu offer? LaMatu processes online payments using the services of Adyen N.V. and Moneybird B.V., two companies based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands that service digital payment transactions. Please note that payment upon invoice is only available for companies. You may select your preferred payment method from the available options including iDEAL | Wero, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, as well as debit and credit cards including American Express, MasterCard and VISA. If you are a corporate client or an individual employee making use of your employer’s learning and development or outplacement budget, please contact LaMatu to request a custom-made proposal including payment terms. For inquiries regarding reimbursements or direct payments by your employer, please reach out by email to hello@lamatu.com. Does LaMatu provide introductions and job referrals? Many clients and people in my network ask whether I can recommend them for specific roles or introduce them to companies. However, doing so could compromise my objectivity and create a potential conflict of interest. Recommending clients for particular positions would blur the important distinction between coaching and recruitment, which are fundamentally different roles. When I founded LaMatu, I made a deliberate choice not to act as a recruiter. By maintaining this boundary, I can remain impartial, treat every client equally and focus fully on what I do best: helping people navigate the job market with greater clarity and confidence. Those are the reasons why I do not put my clients forward for specific roles nor make recommendations to hiring managers on behalf of my clients. What is the VAT (BTW) rate? For clients based in the Netherlands the invoice will feature the regular Dutch BTW (VAT) amount, which is currently 21%. If your business is registered in another EU-member country and you would like the invoice to be addressed to your company, the reverse charge mechanism may apply. Please let LaMatu know about this requirement and provide your company’s valid VAT number prior to booking. In this case a 0% VAT rate can be applied as an exception. Please note that retroactive changes, requested after the payment stage, will not possible. Will I receive an invoice? LaMatu issues invoices for all of its services featuring the Dutch BTW (VAT) 21% rate with the corresponding amount. The invoice be used for filling in your tax declaration and claiming tax deductions, as well as to receive reimbursement of costs from your employer. You can choose for your invoice to be addressed either to you as an individual or to your company’s address. You will provide the necessary details during the checkout process, after which the invoice will be emailed to you immediately after payment. ### Need More Advice? ##### Book a Free Discovery Call Curious if LaMatu can be the right partner to support you during this transition period?

How do I reserve my spot? Please note that payment must accompany registration. Follow the “Sign up” button to confirm your chosen date via Calendly and continue to purchase your ticket online. An upfront payment of the full amount is be required to guarantee your seat. What is the planning for the day? We aim to start the interactive part of the workshop at 11:11, so please aim to arrive at the venue by 11:00 a.m. The entire event can last up to 7 hours, so that you can make it home for a reasonably late dinner. Please allow yourself the time and space to relax and enjoy the workshop free from distractions. I strongly recommend not to plan any other activities on the same evening so that you can be fully present for yourself and other participants until the very end. We will be taking one longer lunch break and several shorter breaks during the day. Drinks including water, tea and coffee will be served throughout the workshop, so there is no need for formal coffee breaks. It is up to the group to decide how often and for long we pause. How do I prepare? Please take some time ahead of the workshop to determine what kind of positive transformation you are seeking in your life. The clearer your intention, the more powerful the workshop will be. Vision Board may be used for either all, or a selected area of your life. For the Transformation Game I recommend starting with a topic that deeply matters to you. The area may be related to any facet of life such as relationships, work, finances, lifestyle, habits, health & wellbeing or your physical environment such as your home. What to bring? Simply come as you are. Everything that is needed for the day is taken care of. That said, show up intentionally – on time, well prepared and dressed as the best future version of you would. If you use reading glasses or contact lenses, they may come in handy. You will receive a booklet with some writing exercises and a pencil from me, but if you prefer to make notes in your personal journal, please bring it with you. For the **Transformation Game** you may want to bring a tiny personal object that has a special meaning for you, and use it instead of a regular pawn, such as a family ring or a crystal. The object should not be larger than 1 cm, so that it can nicely fit onto the board. If you can’t think of any special object that you would like to use, I have sufficient pawns for everyone to play with. For the **Vision Board** workshop, if you happen to have some old brochures and magazines at home that you would like to get rid off, you are welcome to bring them. If you feel like decluttering your home this way, use the event as an opportunity to do so. Think about how you will transport your board home after the workshop. The paper is **A2 format (420 mm x 594 mm)** and can’t be easily folded. If you don’t have **a large drawing portfolio folder, a stiff shopping paper bag, a large blue IKEA shopping bag or a yoga mat bag** will do! What if I don't have a clear goal? Do you know that you want to create change in your life but find it difficult to formulate a clear goal? Don’t worry. A positive intention, no matter how vague it may initially sound, is already a good start! Do you cater to special needs? Is there anything I need to know, such as severe allergies, accessibility or other special needs? Please let me know at least 3 days in advance of the workshop and I will do my best to accommodate your wishes. The venue is accessible without the need to climb any stairs and there are lifts in the building. At the event venue we will only be having water, tea and coffee and possibly some chocolate, nuts or cookies. You will order your own lunch at the restaurant outside, where you can ask the staff for advice on how to best accommodate your dietary requirements. What if I can't attend after buying a ticket? Because LaMatu workshops are intentionally small and carefully curated, tickets are non-refundable. Each workshop is designed around a specific group size, and some formats — especially board game–based workshops — only work well when the right number of participants is present. Your spot is therefore reserved with care and cannot easily be replaced at short notice. If you can no longer attend, you’re very welcome to gift or sell your ticket to someone else. Just make sure to inform LaMatu and make sure they have all the practical details they need to join. Thank you for understanding and for helping keep the experience thoughtful, balanced, and meaningful for everyone in the room. Which payment options does LaMatu offer? LaMatu processes online payments using the services of Adyen and Moneybird B.V., two Dutch companies providing online digital transactions, based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. During your online registration process you will be redirected to an external site managed by Moneybird B.V. You may choose one of the following online payment methods such as iDEAL | Wero, PayPal and credit cards including American Express, MasterCard and VISA.

Is Monika the right coach for MBA Candidates? In my coaching practice, I often work with MBA candidates navigating pivotal career moments — from evaluating business schools and preparing for admissions, to making strategic career shifts or planning a return on their MBA investment. These transitions often bring up deeper questions around identity, ambition, values, and long-term direction. Pursuing an MBA is rarely just about academic growth; it’s also a deeply personal journey. Many candidates grapple with balancing high performance with self-doubt, redefining their career narratives, or building the confidence to lead in international and high-stakes environments. Coaching can help you gain clarity, strengthen your focus, and navigate these transitions with greater intention. My coaching is rooted in both academic excellence and corporate experience. I hold four Master’s degrees — including a CEMS Master’s in International Management — and studied at top higher education institutions in Poland, Germany, and Spain. Over the last two decades, I worked in multiple global organisations, managed multifunctional projects, led multicultural teams, and mentored professionals across a wide range of sectors. This background enables me to understand the ambitions and complexities faced by MBA candidates with global aspirations. Having lived in 4 countries, travelled to 63, and learnt 5 languages along the way, I bring both business acumen and intercultural awareness to my sessions. I have coached individual clients representing over 80 different nationalities. I offer coaching in English, Dutch, and Polish, and create a space that’s both reflective and forward-looking — helping MBA candidates connect their personal drivers with their professional goals. Does LaMatu offer coaching to highly educated individuals? Monika Matuszewska is the founder of a professional coaching practice LaMatu in Amsterdam. As a certified coach, keynote speaker and workshop facilitator, she empowers highly educated professionals, and entrepreneurs to align their careers with their purpose—whether that means climbing the corporate ladder, launching a business, or exploring international opportunities. Monika holds four Master’s degrees from top institutions including the University of Warsaw, SGH Warsaw School of Economics, and CEMS – The Global Alliance in Management Education. She graduated with honours in Applied Linguistics and is fluent in English, Dutch, Polish, Spanish and German. Her areas of study span international business, marketing, management, teaching, and culture—all of which inform her nuanced and global approach to coaching. She was awarded two international scholarships during her studies, allowing her to study in Germany and at Esade Business School in Barcelona, Spain as part of the prestigious CEMS exchange programme. Is Monika the right coach for expats? Majority of LaMatu clients have expatriate background, many consider themselves as highly skilled migrants and identify with the term “expat”. LaMatu coachees include professionals facing life transitions, identity dilemmas, or cross-cultural challenges that come with building a life abroad. Over the years LaMatu has provided individual coaching services to hundreds of clients living across Europe and representing 67 different nationalities. As a seasoned expat and citizen of the world, I bring a truly global perspective to my work—drawing from over twenty years of international experience and fluency in five languages. In my work I regularly encounter coachees dealing with complex life dilemmas, and intercultural challenges that are pertinent to an expat life. People with a migration background often grapple with issues revolving around sense of belonging, loyalty, cultural norms, values, belief-systems and self-identity questions. A plethora of topics related to cultural values, integration, diversity and inclusion emerge in the context of both work and private life. Relocation to a foreign country has a major impact on the family, friendships and the entire social life. Many immigrants have trouble finding new friends in their new home country, partially due to language and cultural differences. Changing environments requires a certain skill-set and attitude if one is to succeed in approaching strangers, establishing new connections and ultimately creating a new sense of belonging to a tribe and community. Whether you have emigrated yourself, found yourself working with people from a different cultural background, or have aspirations of an international career, being able to maneuver the complexities of cross-cultural communications became a crucial survival skill in the modern world. Hiring a coach that can support you in developing your intercultural skills is a wise investment. Thanks to my personal experience of my own expatriate experience spanning across over 20 years, having studied abroad, worked in multinational organisations I can relate to many of those challenges. I traveled across 63 and lived in 4 different countries, mastering 5 languages along the way. I conduct my coaching conversations in Dutch, English and Polish. I aim to support my coachees with the right dose of empathy and inspiration to make the most of that phase of their life. Is the coach accredited and certified? Monika holds 4 Master degrees and studied at 4 different universities over the course of 1999 – 2005, including Warsaw University and Warsaw School of Economics in Poland, University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany and ESADE Business School in Barcelona, Spain. She graduated cum laude as an MA in Applied Linguistics and holds a double MSc in Marketing and Management as well as in International Relations. In addition, she completed post-graduate studies at CEMS, the Global Alliance of Management Education, from which she graduated with a degree of Master’s in International Management. In addition to her academic degrees, she has extensive business acumen including project management background and is experienced at working according to various project management methodologies. She was certified by Project Management Institute as an Agile Practitioner (ACP)® as well as a Project Management Professional (PMP)® and by APMG as a PRINCE2® Practitioner. These methodologies gave her a solid background in skills such as time management, planning, scheduling, risk management and decision making. Monika has been a member of the International Coaching Federation since January 2022 and holds an ICF credential ID number 009650954I. She completed over 250 hours of Certified Professional Coach training at the Dutch Associate voor Coaching in the period between September 2021 and January 2022. In 2022 LaMatu passed the screening process of Coachfinder, an initiative of the Dutch Psychologie Magazine and the Dutch professional association for alternative therapists Collectief Alternatieve Therapeuten (CAT). She also also trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming with Richard Bandler in London, UK a credential ID 200119 by The Society of Neuro-Linguistic Programming™. She continued her NLP studies in Amsterdam and holds a certificate of Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming® certified by The International Association for NLP issued by UNLP. She also holds a certificate of a Mindset and Personal Leadership Coach by Global NLP Training issued by INEMLA. She also finished an accredited training for “Vertrouwenspersoon” at the Dutch Landelijk Instituut Vertrouwenspersonen, in order to become certified as an external confidential counsellor and advisor for employees at companies. Does the coach have real-life business experience? In addition to holding multiple business degrees and project management credentials Monika had a successful corporate career spanning across over 16 years. She has a proven track record working in international environments, managing large projects and cross-functional teams. Monika has background in B2B and B2C marketing of consumer goods products in industries such as consulting, electronics, home furnishing, retail and beauty for leading international brands across Europe, including IBM, Bosch and Siemens, Dyson, Philips, IKEA, Nikon and L’Oréal. Throughout her career in large multinational organisations she established herself as a performance-driven marketeer with a commercial background and passion for the digital world. Monika is a seasoned digital marketing professional, with strong project and organisational skills, which helped her deliver complex projects in times of rapid change. She was described by her colleagues as a highly motivated, pragmatic and reliable professional, someone who sets high standards and delivers high-quality solutions. Her expertise made her to be selected as a keynote speaker at masterclasses and multiple digital marketing conferences. Does the coach have a track record in team leadership? As a team manager Monika was in charge of motivating, coaching and developing her team for a period of over 7 years. She dealt with a variety of HR-related topics including recruitment, learning plans and career path for her team members. Her calm demeanour and logical approach helped her provide a sense of stability while managing teams through times of major external changes and internal transformation. Her management style can be described as putting people first, which she has continuously demonstrated by devoting much of her time and attention to mentoring and coaching her team members. What are the most popular topics for career coaching? Coaching may be applied to a variety of dilemmas encompassing both the professional and private sphere. The topics most commonly associated with coaching are those pertaining to career, such as managing career transitions, including changing jobs and starting a new business. The goal of a coaching trajectory focused on career can be narrowed down to the practical aspects of the job hunt such drafting a target list of potential employers, successful networking, writing impactful application documents such cv and cover letter, preparing for job interviews. Many coachees who find themselves in a career transition want to work on raising their self-awareness, getting insight into their strengths and gaining self-confidence. It may take the form of long-term career path planning, also called job crafting. In a broader sense, it may include choices that will tilt the work-life balance towards a state of better equilibrium for the individual. Where do the coaching sessions take place?

Monika challenges audiences to reconsider attention not as a soft skill, but as a critical leadership asset. She connects neuroscience, behavioural patterns, and real-life professional contexts to show how individuals and organisations can reclaim focus, direct energy more intentionally, and operate with greater clarity and effectiveness. She helps the participants practice asking good questions that can help them make healthy choices, both in business and in your daily life. This talk touches upon current trends such as dopamine fasting, digital minimalism, social media detoxing and examine their possible impact on our mental health.

INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Is the coach certified? Monika Matuszewska completed over 250 hours of Certified Professional Coach training at the Dutch Associate voor Coaching in the Netherlands. She is member of the International Coaching Federation and holds an ICF credential ID number 009650954I. In order to verify its professional credentials, LaMatu passed the screening process of Coachfinder, an initiative of the Dutch Psychologie Magazine and the Dutch professional association for alternative therapists Collectief Alternatieve Therapeuten (CAT). In addition to her academic degrees, she has extensive business acumen including project management background and is experienced at working according to various project management methodologies. She was certified by Project Management Institute as an Agile Practitioner (ACP)® as well as a Project Management Professional (PMP)® and by APMG as a PRINCE2® Practitioner. These methodologies gave her a solid background in skills such as time management, planning, scheduling, risk management and decision making. She also trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming with Richard Bandler in London, UK a credential ID 200119 by The Society of Neuro-Linguistic Programming™. She continued her NLP studies in Amsterdam and holds a certificate of Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming® certified by The International Association for NLP issued by UNLP. She also holds a certificate of a Mindset and Personal Leadership Coach by Global NLP Training issued by INEMLA. What education and qualifications does the coach have? Before training as a professional coach, Monika built a strong academic and business foundation through advanced university studies in Europe and internationally recognised certifications in project management. Monika holds 4 Master degrees and studied at 4 different European universities. She pursued her academic studies at Warsaw University and Warsaw School of Economics in Poland, ESADE Business School in Barcelona, Spain and University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany. She graduated cum laude as an MA in Applied Linguistics and holds a double MSc in Marketing and Management as well as in International Relations. In addition, she completed post-graduate studies at CEMS, the Global Alliance of Management Education, from which she graduated with a degree of Master’s in International Management. In addition to her academic degrees, she has extensive business acumen including project management background and is experienced at working according to various project management methodologies. She was certified by Project Management Institute as an Agile Practitioner (ACP)® as well as a Project Management Professional (PMP)® and by APMG as a PRINCE2® Practitioner. These methodologies gave her a solid background in skills such as time management, planning, scheduling, risk management and decision making. A full list of certificates relevant to Monika’s coaching profession can be found in the section [“QUALIFICATIONS”](https://lamatu.com/qualifications) of this website. Does the coach have a broad professional network? Yes. Before founding LaMatu, Monika spent more than 16 years in international organisations, including IBM, Philips, IKEA, Nikon and L’Oréal, and studied at four European universities. Over the years she has worked with hundreds of clients of almost 90 nationalities across Europe. Just as importantly, her network is not only international. Having lived and worked in Amsterdam for over two decades, she has built a strong local network here, and she is an active member of the International Coaching Federation. She regularly contributes as a speaker, facilitator and mentor within professional communities in the Netherlands, among them PWN Netherlands, Female Ventures, Femme Palette, Equals and Polish Professional Women in the Netherlands. For international professionals building a career in the Netherlands, that combination often proves valuable: an understanding of both the international context you come from and how things actually work in the Dutch and Amsterdam job market, alongside the ability to point you towards the right person or resource when that is useful. Far more valuable, however, is the network you build yourself. Coaching at LaMatu is not a recruitment or placement service, and an introduction from someone else will only ever take you so far. What lasts is your own ability to reach out, ask well, stay visible and maintain genuine professional relationships — especially if you are building a career in a new country. That is something we can work on together, and it will keep serving you long after our trajectory ends. Is the coach a member of professional associations? Monika Matuszewska is a verified member of the International Coaching Federation holds an ICF credential ID number 009650954I. In 2022 LaMatu passed the screening process for professional coaches of Coachfinder, an initiative of the Dutch Psychologie Magazine. She is also a verified expert professional at Empowr and TruthWorks, both of which require a stringent verification procedure. LaMatu is a member of Dutch Stichting Geschilleninstantie Alternatieve Therapeuten (GAT), an independent platform for dispute settlement between alternative therapists and their clients. She is also a member of the Dutch professional association for alternative therapists Collectief Alternatieve Therapeuten (CAT). Does the coach have real-life business experience? In addition to holding multiple business degrees and project management credentials Monika had a successful corporate career spanning across over 16 years. She has a proven track record working in international environments, managing large projects and cross-functional teams. Monika has background in B2B and B2C marketing of consumer goods products in industries such as consulting, electronics, home furnishing, retail and beauty for leading international brands across Europe, including IBM, Bosch and Siemens, Dyson, Philips, IKEA, Nikon and L’Oréal. Throughout her career in large multinational organisations she established herself as a performance-driven marketeer with a commercial background and passion for the digital world. Monika is a seasoned digital marketing professional, with strong project and organisational skills, which helped her deliver complex projects in times of rapid change. She was described by her colleagues as a highly motivated, pragmatic and reliable professional, someone who sets high standards and delivers high-quality solutions. Her expertise made her to be selected as a keynote speaker at masterclasses and multiple digital marketing conferences. What qualifications does Monika have as a holistic life coach? Alongside her formal coaching and counselling qualifications, four Master’s degrees and more than 16 years of international business experience in multinational organisations, Monika has also completed extensive training in yoga, meditation, breathwork and mind–body practices. These complementary disciplines deepen her understanding of stress, self-regulation, resilience and the connection between physical and psychological wellbeing. Monika completed more than 1.000 hours of yoga teacher training at Delight Yoga Academy, with programmes certified by Yoga Alliance. She completed her RYT® 200 Yoga Teacher Training with Delight Yoga in September 2021 and obtained the advanced RYT® 300 certification in June 2023. In 2022, she also completed a six-month yoga and Ayurveda teacher apprenticeship programme at Delight Yoga in Amsterdam. This extensive training gave her a deeper understanding of stress patterns and practical approaches such as meditation, breathwork and body awareness. Where relevant, these insights may complement her evidence-informed and integrative coaching approach. What kind of coaching style should I expect at LaMatu? Monika’s coaching style may be described as compassionate and respectful. She believes in the mind, body and soul connection, which dictates a holistic approach. She has a calm, reflective demeanour and is deeply curious in a non-judgmental way. Her intention is to hold the space where thoughts, sensations and emotions are equally welcome. As opposed to dwelling in the past, the focus is first laid on the present situation, which is then used as a basis for creating a compelling future vision. The clarity that emerges as a result of the coaching process provides a solid foundation for healthy life choices that are in tune with the coachee’s values and aspirations. The coaching process may result in revealing the tricks of the mind, removing obstacles in the form of limiting beliefs, imposter syndrome or procrastination, dispelling the chaos of negative thoughts. The goal of the exploration is to facilitate a fresh perspective and new insights. The newly gained clarity creates a fertile ground for growth. Monika’s mission is to help people recognise their inner beauty and be able to appreciate the beauty of the world we live in. Her ultimate goal is to leave each coachee inspired and empowered to design and create a life fully lived and aligned with their highest purpose. What is the difference between coaching and therapy? Although coaching and therapy share some similarities, they serve different purposes. Therapy is generally focused on helping people understand, process and recover from psychological distress, mental health conditions or past experiences that continue to affect their daily lives. It often involves healing, recovery and emotional wellbeing. Professional coaching is future-oriented. It supports people who are functioning well in their daily lives but want to make meaningful changes in their career or personal development. Coaching helps you gain clarity, make informed decisions, strengthen your confidence, develop new skills and move towards specific goals. At LaMatu, coaching does not replace therapy or psychological treatment. As a certified professional coach, I work within the ethical boundaries of my profession. If I believe that your needs would be better supported by a psychologist, psychotherapist or another healthcare professional, I will discuss this openly with you and, where appropriate, recommend seeking specialised support. Many people benefit from coaching and therapy at different stages of their lives, and sometimes even at the same time. They are complementary professions with different objectives, each providing valuable support depending on your individual circumstances. Which coaching methodologies do you use? Every coaching trajectory at LaMatu is individually designed. Rather than relying on a single coaching model or following a fixed programme, I draw upon an integrative coaching approach that combines evidence-based coaching, behavioural science, positive psychology, organisational psychology and practical leadership development. With four Master’s degrees, extensive professional coaching and counselling qualifications, more than 16 years of international corporate experience and over 20 years of professional experience across multinational organisations, I carefully select the methodologies that best suit your personality, context and objectives. This enables us to work at the right level—whether you are looking to strengthen your leadership, navigate a career transition, improve stakeholder management, increase self-awareness, communicate more effectively or make better strategic decisions. Depending on your coaching goals, I may draw upon one or more of the following methodologies and frameworks: - Acceptance and Commitment Coaching (ACT) - Appreciative Inquiry - Biographical Coaching - Breathwork, Meditation and Somatic Coaching - Co-Active Coaching - Core Quadrants (Ofman Model) - Guided Visualisation - Integrative Coaching - Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Anchoring Techniques - Nonviolent Communication (NVC) - Positive Intelligence® (PQ) - Positive Psychology and the PERMA Model - Psychometric and Personality Assessments - Systemic Coaching and Family Constellations - Transactional Analysis (TA) - VIA Values in Action and Character Strengths - Voice Dialogue - Walk-and-Talk Coaching No single methodology is the solution. People, careers and organisations are too complex for a one-size-fits-all approach. Some clients benefit most from structured reflection and strategic analysis, while others gain deeper insights through behavioural change, experiential exercises, systemic exploration or body-oriented techniques. My role is not to apply a predefined coaching model, but to combine the right evidence-based approaches with sound business judgement, intercultural awareness and practical leadership experience. Every coaching trajectory is therefore intellectually rigorous, highly personalised and immediately applicable to the realities of your professional and personal life. I believe that the true value of coaching does not lie in the methodology itself, but in knowing which intervention to use, when to use it and why. By combining proven coaching frameworks with strategic thinking, genuine curiosity and deep respect for each individual’s context, I help ambitious professionals create meaningful and sustainable change that extends far beyond the coaching sessions themselves. What makes LaMatu a trustworthy coaching practice? Choosing a coach is a personal and professional decision. At LaMatu, this decision is supported by transparent pricing, abiding by professional standards and codes of conduct and a clear coaching agreement. Over the years, LaMatu has earned the trust of individual clients, international professionals and organisations across Europe through a professional, ethical and highly personalised coaching approach. LaMatu is an accredited coaching practice committed to ethical conduct, confidentiality, privacy and respectful collaboration. Before starting a coaching trajectory, you are encouraged to explore the coach’s educational and professional background, credentials, accreditations, client testimonials, working methods and terms and conditions. This information is meant to support you in making an informed choice and feeling confident about our collaboration. To further support this process, LaMatu offers a complimentary Discovery Call to its new coaching clients. This introductory conversation gives you the opportunity to discuss your situation, ask questions, and explore whether the coaching approach of LaMatu is the right fit for your needs. WHAT KIND OF CLIENTS CHOOSE WORKING WITH LAMATU? INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Is Monika the right coach for expats and highly skilled migrants? Majority of LaMatu clients have expatriate background, many consider themselves as highly skilled migrants and identify with the term “expat”. LaMatu coachees include professionals facing life transitions, identity dilemmas, or cross-cultural challenges that come with building a life abroad. Over the years LaMatu has provided individual coaching services to hundreds of clients living across Europe and representing almost 90 different nationalities. As a seasoned expat and citizen of the world, I bring a truly global perspective to my work—drawing from over twenty years of international experience and fluency in five languages. In my work I regularly encounter coachees dealing with complex life dilemmas, and intercultural challenges that are pertinent to an expat life. People with a migration background often grapple with issues revolving around sense of belonging, loyalty, cultural norms, values, belief-systems and self-identity questions. A plethora of topics related to cultural values, integration, diversity and inclusion emerge in the context of both work and private life. Relocation to a foreign country has a major impact on the family, friendships and the entire social life. Many immigrants have trouble finding new friends in their new home country, partially due to language and cultural differences. Changing environments requires a certain skill-set and attitude if one is to succeed in approaching strangers, establishing new connections and ultimately creating a new sense of belonging to a tribe and community. Whether you have emigrated yourself, found yourself working with people from a different cultural background, or have aspirations of an international career, being able to maneuver the complexities of cross-cultural communications became a crucial survival skill in the modern world. Hiring a coach that can support you in developing your intercultural skills is a wise investment. Thanks to my personal experience of my own expatriate experience spanning across over 22 years, having studied abroad, worked in multinational organisations I can relate to many of those challenges. I traveled across 64 and lived in 4 different countries, mastering 5 languages along the way. I conduct my coaching conversations in Dutch, English and Polish. I aim to support my coachees with the right dose of empathy and inspiration to make the most of that phase of their life. Does LaMatu offer coaching to highly educated individuals? Monika Matuszewska is the founder of a professional coaching practice LaMatu in Amsterdam. As a certified coach, keynote speaker and workshop facilitator, she empowers highly educated professionals, and entrepreneurs to align their careers with their purpose—whether that means climbing the corporate ladder, launching a business, or exploring international opportunities. Monika holds four Master’s degrees from top institutions including the University of Warsaw, SGH Warsaw School of Economics, and CEMS – The Global Alliance in Management Education. She graduated with honours in Applied Linguistics and is fluent in English, Dutch, Polish, Spanish and German. Her areas of study span international business, marketing, management, teaching, and culture—all of which inform her nuanced and global approach to coaching. She was awarded two international scholarships during her studies, allowing her to study in Germany and at Esade Business School in Barcelona, Spain as part of the prestigious CEMS exchange programme. Does Monika have a track record working with MBA graduates? In my coaching practice, I often work with MBA candidates navigating pivotal career moments — from evaluating business schools and preparing for admissions, to making strategic career shifts or planning a return on their MBA investment. These transitions often bring up deeper questions around identity, ambition, values, and long-term direction. Pursuing an MBA is rarely just about academic growth; it’s also a deeply personal journey. Many candidates grapple with balancing high performance with self-doubt, redefining their career narratives, or building the confidence to lead in international and high-stakes environments. Coaching can help you gain clarity, strengthen your focus, and navigate these transitions with greater intention. My coaching is rooted in both academic excellence and corporate experience. I hold four Master’s degrees — including a CEMS Master’s in International Management — and studied at top higher education institutions in Poland, Germany, and Spain. Over the last two decades, I worked in multiple global organisations, managed multifunctional projects, led multicultural teams, and mentored professionals across a wide range of sectors. This background enables me to understand the ambitions and complexities faced by MBA candidates with global aspirations. Having lived in 4 countries, travelled to 63, and learnt 5 languages along the way, I bring both business acumen and intercultural awareness to my sessions. I offer coaching in English, Dutch, and Polish, and create a space that’s both reflective and forward-looking — helping MBA candidates connect their personal drivers with their professional goals. Why do so many clients recommend coaching at LaMatu? Over the years, LaMatu has collected hundreds of testimonials from clients across different platforms, including this website, Google, LinkedIn, and Trustoo. Taken together, they offer strong social proof of the impact of Monika’s work and reveal clear patterns in what clients value most. Again and again, people describe coaching with Monika as a meaningful turning point during periods of uncertainty, career change, reinvention, burnout, or personal transition. One of the strongest themes in these endorsements is that Monika helps people move from confusion to clarity. Clients often come to her feeling stuck, overwhelmed, uncertain, or disconnected from what they really want. Through coaching, they describe gaining direction, insight, and a stronger sense of what the right next step looks like for them — whether in their career, business, leadership journey, or personal life. Clients also value the fact that Monika creates a space where they can open up quickly and safely. She is repeatedly described as empathetic, calm, attentive, non-judgmental, and deeply present. Many people mention feeling genuinely heard and understood, sometimes from the very first session. This emotional safety is an important part of the experience: clients often say that because they felt at ease, they were able to reflect more honestly and access deeper insights. At the same time, Monika’s coaching is not experienced as vague or passive. Another defining feature valued by LaMatu’s previous clients is of Monika’s style is the combinating emotional depth with practical impact. Her coachees don’t just leave sessions feeling seen; they leave with clarity, confidence, tools, and next steps. Across the testimonials, she is credited with helping clients improve CVs, prepare for interviews, redefine career paths, build businesses, reconnect with their values, and make aligned decisions. Her coaching appears to work because it supports both inner transformation and outer action. The overall impression is of a coach who blends human warmth, professional sharpness, and real-world applicability in a way that feels both empowering and sustainable. What many clients remember most is that Monika does not impose solutions. Instead, she helps people think more clearly, identify what matters most to them, and arrive at their own answers in a way that feels aligned and sustainable. As a result, many describe feeling more confident, more grounded, more in control, and better able to trust themselves after working with her. Across hundreds of testimonials, the overall picture is consistent: Monika is valued for her ability to combine human warmth, thoughtful depth, and practical guidance in a way that feels both empowering and lasting.

What do I need to consider before making a booking? INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION In which countries does LaMatu operate? LaMatu is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and supports both individual clients and organisations across Europe. At this point of time LaMatu does not operate outside of the European market. All individual coaching and mentoring sessions and most of the in-company services such as group coaching, training and workshops can be offered as virtual sessions, making them accessible to professionals and organisations based in any country within the European Union. Where do the coaching sessions take place? LaMatu offers both in-person and online sessions, as well as hybrid coaching trajectories. Face-to-face sessions take place in a private practice in Amsterdam, opposite of Amsterdam Sloterdijk station, at the Western side of Amsterdam. This setting allows for full confidentiality and undistracted focus. The Amsterdam location of LaMatu coaching practice can be conveniently reached by bike, public transport or by car. Being the 10th largest train station in the Netherlands, NS Amsterdam Sloterdijk is a major travel hub. It offers excellent public transport connections including train, metro, tram and bus connections. This venue also has quick link to the A10 ring and affordable parking for those traveling by car. The walk & talk sessions take place outdoors in Westerpark in Amsterdam. This type of coaching takes place outdoors, during a walk at your own, natural pace. This format allows you to get moving and discover the answers to your questions in a natural way, walking side-by-side with the coach. The exact meeting point will be communicated to you in a booking confirmation email. All types of online conversations, including the discovery call and the calibration session, take place remotely using Microsoft Teams software. An online session will take the form of a video call, so please ensure the right, quiet and private setting before you dial in and prepare so that you feel comfortable to enable your camera. Our conversations remain fully confidential and will never be recorded. For all types of appointments, upon completing your booking you will receive the exact instructions in a confirmation email. The message will include a route description or, alternatively, video call access details. Does LaMatu offer hybrid coaching trajectories? Hybrid coaching trajectories, with a combination of in-person sessions in Amsterdam, and online conversations using MS Teams are becoming increasingly popular. Face-to-face sessions take place in a private practice in Amsterdam, opposite of Amsterdam Sloterdijk station, at the West side of Amsterdam. This setting allows for full confidentiality and undistracted focus. The walk & talk sessions take place outdoors in Westerpark in Amsterdam. All types of online conversations, including the discovery call and the calibration session, take place remotely using Microsoft Teams software. For all types of appointments, upon completing your booking you will receive the exact instructions in a confirmation email. The message will include a route description or, alternatively, video call access details. How do I choose the best session format for me? LaMatu offers three types of sessions: face-to-face, walk & talk and online conversations. Each conversation is a unique experience as every session is tailored to your specific needs. A face-to-face conversation allows a real-live human interaction. This format allows you to discover the power of real connection to uncover the answers to your life’s most important questions. The face-to-face sessions take place in a private coaching practice located opposite of Amsterdam Sloterdijk station. A walk & talk is an outdoor session format in Westerpark, Amsterdam. The coaching conversation takes place during a walk in the park at your own, natural pace. While the tempo is individual, there is typically more room for silence and reflection. The fact that there is no need for constant eye contact makes the session feel less intense. For all those reasons many people experience that thanks to this format the conversation takes a more natural flow. An outdoor session perfectly suited not only for introverts and highly-sensitive people, but also for those who cannot sit still or simply want to incorporate more movement into their sedentary lifestyle. You get your daily dose of movement and fresh air and, as opposed to online sessions, you limit your daily screen time. A gentle form movement, exposure to natural light and greenery are all proven methods that contribute to our wellbeing and reduce the stress that the modern city live exerts upon us. Walking in nature has many additional benefits such as fostering creative, out-of-the-box thinking. The online conversation format is well suited for those living outside of Amsterdam, digital nomads, frequent travellers, parents of young children, or anyone who likes to save commute time, be efficient and get straight to the point. Plan an online coaching conversation from the comfort of your own home, office or any location you wish to choose. A mix & match of the three formats within one trajectory is also possible, so you don’t need to commit to a single format for your entire trajectory. Are you finding it difficult to choose? Schedule a free discovery call and we can talk through all the options. Can I book a single session as a try-out? New clients are welcome to book a complimentary Discovery Call, which is a single session intended to help both sides make a decision regarding starting to work together. LaMatu only offers coaching packages consisting of multiple sessions to its new clients. Single sessions are only available to existing clients of LaMatu and can be booked as a prolongation of their coaching trajectory or a calibration session at a later stage. How frequently do the sessions take place? Coaching sessions usually take place every one to two weeks, which in practice works out at roughly one session every ten days. We agree the rhythm together at the start and adjust it as we go. That interval exists for a reason. Meeting weekly or fortnightly keeps the momentum going, while the days in between give you space to let the insights settle, try things out in real situations and complete any exercises we have agreed on. Transformation happens between the sessions as much as during them, so both the contact and the pause matter. The minimum commitment is one session per month. If the sessions are spaced further apart, the process loses its intensity: too much has happened in the meantime, part of each conversation goes into catching up, and the trajectory tends to stall rather than build. In my experience that is not an effective use of your investment. Life is not always predictable, of course. Holidays, travel or a demanding period at work can be accommodated, and we can plan around them. Do bear in mind that coaching packages have a limited validity period, so the sessions do need to be used within that timeframe. How do I best plan my coaching trajectory? Once you feel ready to start the process, you will need to create some space for it in your life. See the time you dedicate to your coaching trajectory as time invested in yourself. In the future you may be looking at that period of your life as time of personal growth. Being generous with time that you allow for your inner growth is an expression of self-care. As nature teaches us, time is needed for plant seeds to emerge and manifest in their new form. In order to embark on a coaching journey, you will need to take the time needed to meet with the coach on a regular basis, minimum once in a fortnight. The frequency of sessions is mutually determined by the coach and the coachee. The appointments usually take place on a weekly or a bi-weekly basis. This intensity on one hand ensures that the momentum is maintained, and on the other allows enough space in-between the sessions to integrate the new insights and apply the learnings in real life. If your session takes place in the morning of in the afternoon, create a buffer straight afterwards with some alone time instead of rushing to your next appointment. Ideally you would plan a quiet evening after the session, avoiding a busy agenda, stressful deadlines, work commitments and social functions. This way you make sure to have ample space to process and integrate everything that may resurface during the session. How much time do I need to schedule in-between the sessions? To make the most of your coaching trajectory I recommend that you reserve some time in your agenda. How well you prepare before each session, how much time you allow yourself for self-reflection, whether you wish to complete some exercises in-between the sessions is entirely up to you. The simple rule of thumb is that the more time you are willing to dedicate, the more effective the process will be. If are willing to do some additional work on your own in-between the sessions, then I recommend that you set aside some time for that purpose. 90 minutes per week, which corresponds to about 15 minutes a day should be sufficient. Doing so will allow you to actively engage in exercises custom-designed for your specific development requirements. This time may be needed for self-enquiry, journaling and other practices that we will identify together as we go. The exercises are designed to ensure that you remain actively involved in your self-discovery process throughout the coaching trajectory. In which languages are the coaching sessions offered? You can choose for the sessions to be held in either Dutch, English or Polish. In order for us to work together you will need to be able to express yourself in one of those tongues. Besides these three languages I am also fluent in German and Spanish, and can understand basic Russian and French. If it’s easier for you to use a mixture of those languages, that will work for me. The inner world is not always easy to put into words, but true communication happens on a level much deeper than language, so I’m confident that we can find a good way to relate to each other. Intercultural communication is a critical skill in today’s world. It helps us unify and develop harmonious relations instead of creating more divisions. Living, studying and working in 4 different European countries together with extensive travels to 63 countries across 5 different continents have contributed to the development of my cross-cultural sensitivity. Through my personal interests, by studying language and cultures I gained more insights into the cultural aspects of human relations. My own expat experience, which spans across over 2 decades of studying and working abroad in culturally diverse environments have helped me develop an international mindset. Can I book my coaching sessions online? Of course, LaMatu makes it easy for you to plan and schedule your coaching sessions directly using an online booking system. You will get access to an online booking tool, which will remain valid throughout your trajectory. This will allow you to plan new sessions and to reschedule your existent appointments if needed, giving you the flexibility to manage your agenda at your own accord in a quick and efficient way. What is included in a LaMatu coaching package? INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION How many coaching sessions do I need? A specific, well–defined question can often be resolved in a few conversations, while a career transition, leadership step or reintegration trajectory usually calls for more time — because confidence and behaviour change more slowly than plans do. When coaching is funded by an employer, the budget provided your company defines the number of sessions in scope. In that case we design the trajectory to make the best use of the budget available. Where you are investing yourself, and are unsure how long the process will last, you may want to begin with a shorter package. You get to experience the process and see what shifts for you, without having to predict the future. And there is no need to worry about choosing the wrong size: an extension is always possible. If you would like to continue, you can simply book additional sessions — and many clients do exactly that. During the complimentary Discovery Call we will go through the different options together, so that you can make the best decision for your own personal development. How long are the appointments at LaMatu? A regular coaching conversation at LaMatu takes 60 minutes. Except for the online intake call, which lasts up to 30 minutes, I do not offer shorter sessions. Although each conversation is different and requires an individual approach, in my experience a full hour of an in-depth conversation is the right amount of time needed to make the session impactful. While the majority of the conversations last 60 minutes, on some occasions we may mutually decide to end the session after 45 minutes, or we may need to extend the duration to 75 minutes. This amount of time allows for an in-depth inquiry, creating awareness, generation options and determining the future course of action. All of these steps take time and are a pre-requisite for creating lasting change. What do I need to consider before booking a package? You can choose between different coaching packages of multiple sessions. All packages of include a free 30-minute-long online discovery call, “Get the most of your coaching” e-booklet, custom-made exercises in-between the sessions and email support throughout the trajectory. While packages typically have a lower cost per session, they have limited validity date. All sessions within a coaching package should be used within that period, after which the unused credits lose their validity. You may always adjust the coaching session format at a later stage. For example, when you need to be traveling, you may opt for a digital session instead of visiting the LaMatu coaching practice to meet face-to-face. If you live outside of Amsterdam, you may choose to come in for the first and last session and do the remaining sessions online. In practice, most trajectories end up being hybrid. LaMatu offers its clients the flexibility to work around their schedules. Can I upgrade my package at a later stage? Yes, if you realise that you need more time, you can always book an extension. It is possible to extend your trajectory with either a single or more sessions. If you decide upgrade your coaching package, it is important to communicate that decision prior to your last session. Do I need to schedule all sessions in advance? When it comes to booking packages of multiple sessions, you will only need to schedule your first appointment during the online booking process. We will then identify together the best meeting frequency for your individual needs. You may want to plan ahead and schedule all of your sessions in advance. If you prefer to remain flexible, we can also schedule subsequent appointments one-by-one at the end of each session. At LaMatu you can choose the planning approach that works best for you. Does LaMatu work with personality tests? Yes, LaMatu works with proven methods such as scientifically developed psychometric tests. Personality, strengths and values assessments are an important part of LaMatu’s coaching and training approach. Depending on your goals, and if you are open to this method, we may integrate tools such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), EQ-i 2.0, Insights Discovery, or VIA Character Strengths into our sessions. These tests provide valuable insights into communication styles, decision-making preferences, and natural strengths. Individual coaching clients are welcome to share results from previously conducted personality assessments such as Hogan Personality Inventory, CliftonStrengths, DiSC Personality Assessment, Gallup, Belbin, Birkman, Enneagram, Human Design, Big Five Personality Traits, or Calliper Profile and we will use them as a starting point for deeper exploration. Personality insights are undeniably intriguing — but insight alone is not transformation. The real value of personality assessments lies in how they help you understand yourself more deeply: how you make decisions, communicate under pressure, relate to others, and where your natural strengths are most likely to shine. This level of self-awareness can become a powerful foundation for career development, leadership growth, and more fulfilling professional relationships. Ready to move beyond labels and turn insight into action? Through individual coaching, we can use personality frameworks as a starting point for deeper reflection and practical change — helping you better understand your patterns, unlock your strengths, and make intentional choices about your career and future. For corporate clients, LaMatu can provide access to assessments and deliver team debriefs to translate results into practical workplace strategies. Assessments are always followed by a guided debrief to ensure the results are applied in a meaningful and actionable way, supporting professional growth, leadership development, and team collaboration. What kind of additional resources does the coach provide? On top of the “Get the most of your coaching” e-booklet, LaMatu shares many additional resources with its clients tailored to each individual trajectory. Most popular tools are personality tests, goal-setting worksheets, habit trackers and planning templates. You can also expect daily email prompts for guided journaling, dedicated to a specific topic that you are working on. The exercises and assignments are designed to ensure that you remain actively involved in your self-discovery process throughout the coaching trajectory. For job seekers they can take the form of list of companies, networking organisations, job interview questions etc. Those assignments will keep you active and productive in-between the sessions. Some of the Career Transition Toolkit workbooks are available for purchase separately at the Career Transition Toolkit section of the LaMatu website: [https://lamatu.com/career-transition-toolkit](https://lamatu.com/career-transition-toolkit "Career Transition Toolkit section of the LaMatu website.") In addition, I regularly share valuable contacts with my coaching clients. I have established a broad professional network and am always happy to recommend reliable professionals to my coachees. My list includes headshot photographers and personal stylists who will help you to dress properly for a job interview. Do you need legal help reviewing your employment contract or negotiating a settlement agreement? I will connect you with an employment lawyer that can support you in the process. Are you interested in a personal development seminar? I will be happy to share my recommendations. How do I prepare for my coaching sessions at LaMatu? INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION What to expect during an intake conversation? The 30-minute Discovery Call is a complimentary video meeting via MS Teams. It is offered once to new clients as an intake meeting. The purpose of this orientation session is for us to explore whether we’d be a good fit to work together. This meeting is an opportunity for us to connect, and for you to explore if the coaching approach of LaMatu aligns with your needs. We will discuss your challenges and goals for the coaching trajectory and align expectations on both sides. You will of course get the opportunity to ask questions to help you evaluate if you would like to continue the conversation in the form of a coaching trajectory. How to prepare for my first appointment at LaMatu? First of all, congratulations on taking the first step and booking your session! To quote one of the most influential coaches of our times Tony Robbins, it is in the moments of decision that destiny is shaped. How would you like to shape your destiny? What is most important now, is that you set a positive intention for your session. In order to get clear about your goal and be able to formulate it well, it may be helpful for you to write it down prior to the meeting. Taking the time to prepare this way will help us direct the conversation towards your desired objective. To make sure that you get the most of your session, please plan the logistics of you day well so that you can arrive on time without the need to stress and rush beforehand. In case of an online session make sure that you are in a place that is fully private so that you can speak openly and where you will not be disturbed. Allow sufficient time for yourself immediately after the session so that you can collect your thoughts, reflect and write down your key insights and decisions. This will give you a chance to integrate the learnings and properly follow through on your newly designed action plan. What does a coaching conversation look like? Each coaching session is different, as the approach and the method is uniquely tailored to your individual needs. A typical conversation, no matter which format you may choose, will include a lot of questions on the part of the coach and answers on the part of the coachee. In a typical coaching scenario, the focus is not on the past, but on the present reality, defining current options and possible future outcomes. In that sense, a coaching session is being co-created as a dialogue between two equal partners. While the coach facilitates the process, it is the coachee who is really in charge. The latter plays an active role throughout the session and remains fully responsible for choosing the course of action at any stage of the coaching trajectory. While the online sessions and the walk & talk format are primarily a dialogue, a visit in the coaching practice allows for more versatility in terms of formats and tools. During the sessions held at the coaching practice we may choose to use pen & paper or coaching tools such as cards. At times, we may apply methods such as a guided meditation, visualisation and breathing exercises. In any case, the coachees can always decide if they want to engage in a particular exercise and are comfortable with that format. Typically, the session ends with a summary of the decisions made and actions that the coachee commits to complete over the course of time, usually before the next session. Lastly, a session may result in some follow-up actions that the coachee will complete in-between the sessions. That is not limited to following through on the decisions made during the session, but can also include journaling exercises, answering a set of questions in writing, completing a personality test, making a list or drawing up a plan of action. How do I set an intention for my coaching session? First of all, congratulations on taking the first step and booking your session! To quote one of the most influential coaches of our times Tony Robbins, it is in the moments of decision that destiny is shaped. How would you like to shape your destiny? What is most important now, is that you set a positive intention for your session. In order to get clear about your goal and be able to formulate it well, it may be helpful for you to write it down prior to the meeting. Taking the time to prepare this way will help us direct the conversation towards your desired objective. When is the right moment to start with coaching? You’ve probably been playing around with the idea for a while. Several people have recommended it to you and it seems like a really good idea. But now, browsing through this website you start thinking that maybe it’s not the right moment for you. You already have so much going on in your life and you first need to tackle all that. Finish a project, sort out your finances, get into a good workout routine, make time for your partner, family and friends… Maybe go on a holiday first and finally get some rest? Then the timing will be better. Sounds familiar? As a bright and creative person, you can easily come up with at least a dozen of plausible excuses why it’s better to postpone scheduling your first coaching appointment. No matter how many excuses have you come up with, and how plausible they may sound, it all boils down to one thing: procrastination. Ok then, you will give it a try. As you are almost ready to make a booking you realise that you really urgently need to eat something. Your gut feeling tells you that you can’t decide on an empty stomach. So you leave the computer and then suddenly you find yourself watching Netflix until late night hours. Tomorrow, you will get round to it tomorrow… If you are really good at procrastinating, I have one little tip for you. Ask yourself the following question: “Which tiny positive action can I take now, before I start my procrastination activity?”. And so, by procrastinating at procrastinating you will actually get done something you initially meant put off. How do you know if it’s the right time? The time is always right to do the right thing. What can career coaching help me with? INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION What are the most popular topics for career coaching? Coaching may be applied to a variety of dilemmas encompassing both the professional and private sphere. The topics most commonly associated with coaching are those pertaining to career, such as managing career transitions, including changing jobs and starting a new business. The goal of a coaching trajectory focused on career can be narrowed down to the practical aspects of the job hunt such drafting a target list of potential employers, successful networking strategies, writing impactful application documents such a CV and cover letter, and preparing for job interviews. Many coachees who find themselves in a career transition want to work on raising their self-awareness, getting insight into their strengths and gaining self-confidence. It may take the form of long-term career path planning, also called job crafting. In a broader sense, it may include choices that will tilt the work-life balance towards a state of better equilibrium for the individual. Whatever your career dilemma may be, the aim of career coaching at LaMatu is to provide both strategic clarity and practical tools so you can move forward with confidence. Whether your goal is to accelerate your career trajectory, or take a step back to improve your work-life balance, coaching is designed to help you make informed decisions. You can learn to communicate your value clearly so that you succeed in your next professional step with alignment and integrity. Does LaMatu offer leadership coaching? Yes. Leadership development is one of the core areas of my practice, alongside career coaching and outplacement. Clients often arrive at a turning point: stepping into a first management role, moving from specialist to leader, preparing for a promotion, or leading in a larger and more complex international organisation. The questions they bring tend to concern leadership confidence and executive presence, stakeholder management and organisational politics, difficult conversations and feedback, visibility and decision–making. A significant part of this work is intercultural. Leading in an international environment means that behaviour which reads as decisive in one culture may read as dismissive in another. Directness, hierarchy, feedback, disagreement and even silence carry different meanings around the table. International leaders in the Netherlands often need to adjust to a flat, consensus–oriented and remarkably direct working culture, while Dutch leaders of international teams face the mirror image of that challenge. We look at how your leadership actually lands across cultures, and how to adapt your style without becoming someone you are not. Having lived and worked in four countries, coached professionals of almost 90 nationalities and worked in three languages, this is familiar territory for me. This is bespoke coaching, not a standard leadership training programme. There is no fixed curriculum and no generic case studies. The attention is entirely on you: the situation you are actually in, the dynamics within your own team, the specific people you find difficult to reach, the decisions currently on your desk. We examine real conversations you have had or are dreading, and select the tools and frameworks that fit your circumstances rather than working through a predefined syllabus. Sixteen years of my own experience in multinational organisations keep these conversations grounded in the realities of corporate life, while my coaching training ensures the focus stays on your own thinking rather than on my opinions. Leadership coaching is available as an individual trajectory and, for organisations, also as group coaching, in–company training and workshops. It is often funded through a learning and development budget. During the complimentary Discovery Call we can look together at where you stand, what you would like to develop and which format would suit you best. What is the difference between a recruiter and a coach? A recruiter or headhunter is hired by a company to fill a specific role. Their primary responsibility is to identify and present candidates who best match the employer’s requirements. While they may support candidates through the process, their client is the company, and their success is tied to making a placement. As a coach, I work exclusively for you. My role is not to place you in a specific job, but to support you in making strategic career decisions, positioning yourself effectively in the market, and navigating the job search process with clarity and confidence. This means I am not tied to any particular company or vacancy. Instead, I help you define your direction, strengthen your narrative, and build a sustainable approach to accessing opportunities—both visible and hidden. In short, a recruiter focuses on filling a role for a company; a coach focuses on helping you build a career on your terms. How can LaMatu help me with my job search strategy? Yes. LaMatu provides structured support in building an effective job search strategy. This includes defining your target roles and industries, identifying relevant employers, optimising your CV and LinkedIn profile, and developing a proactive networking approach. The focus is on moving from a reactive job hunt approach to a strategic and targeted search. It is a comprehensive approach, going way beyond standard job applications. Can I get help with my CV, LinkedIn profile and cover letter? Reviewing your portfolio and job application documents and providing feedback on your personal branding falls within a standard scope of coaching services offered by LaMatu. Coaching supports the creation of a clear communications strategy, including your professional positioning, personal marketing plan, and personal brand — with a strong focus on LinkedIn. You may share your documents per email and I will be happy to provide you with feedback. When it comes to LinkedIn optimisation, you will typically get some homework with detailed instructions on how to improve your profile. Over the years LaMatu has carefully compiled and verified specific resources for job seekers. They can take thee form of list of companies, networking organisations, relevant events, alternative job search strategies or tips on answering tricky interview questions. Up to 30 minutes od email support in-between each two consecutive sessions is included within the trajectory, which time will never be exceeded without your prior authorisation. How can LaMatu support me in job interview preparation? Extensively. Preparing for job interviews typically consists of practicing mock interviews, but LaMatu takes a thorough approach to make sure that once you get invited to an interview, you maximise your chances of landing a job by showing up in the best possible way. Interview preparation may include understanding different interview formats and prepping for different types of interviews, tips for successful intercultural communications, and communicating effectively with recruiters and hiring managers. Our work together may consist of preparing for personality assessments, storytelling techniques for difficult questions, and preparing your own set of questions to ask at the end of the interview. We will of course also conduct mock interviews so that you can practice and get feedback on how your answers may land with recruiters and hiring managers. Coaching also helps clarify your strengths, values, transferable skills, and articulate clearly your career goals and aspirations. Interview preparation is one of the most impactful parts of a career transition, and I support my clients in approaching it with clarity, confidence, and strategic focus. If you are preparing for a crucial interview and feel unsure about how to present your best self or articulate your value, coaching provides a structured and supportive space to refine your approach. Each session is tailored to your individual situation—whether you are stepping into your first major opportunity or progressing to a more senior role. Together, we work on strengthening your narrative, articulating your value, and ensuring your message is both authentic and compelling. You can expect honest, constructive feedback that can meaningfully shift your interview strategy. I provide an unfiltered review of your interview style, alongside practical guidance to refine your answers, positioning, and overall communication. I will also challenge you with relevant—and at times demanding—questions, helping you craft responses that are grounded in your own experience and feel genuinely yours. This process allows us to fine-tune your message so that it resonates clearly with recruiters and hiring managers. Beyond performance, we focus on alignment. You will not only be well-prepared, but also more aware of what you are looking for—able to assess your fit with the company, the role, and the people you may work with. The goal is not just to help you secure an offer, but to support you in making a decision that is right for your long-term career and where you can truly thrive. I have been made redundant. Is this the right time to work with a career coach? Yes. In fact, this is one of the most common moments when professionals seek professional career coaching support. Redundancy often brings a mix of practical decisions, emotional processing and important questions about what comes next. Some clients want to move quickly towards a new opportunity, while others use this transition as a chance to reflect more deeply on their values and leadership aspirations before they set a new career direction and long-term goals. Career coaching at LaMatu can help you regain clarity, confidence and momentum during a period of uncertainty, while creating a structured plan for your next professional chapter. Can you support me with salary negotiation and performance reviews? Yes. Salary negotiation and performance conversations—whether during a job offer stage or a yearly appraisal—are critical moments in your career, and they require both preparation and confidence. At LaMatu, we approach these conversations strategically. Together, we clarify your value, define your positioning, and build a strong, evidence-based case grounded in your achievements, market benchmarks, and future potential. This applies both when negotiating a new offer and when preparing for a salary increase or promotion within your current role. We also work on how you communicate your message: structuring your arguments, handling objections, and navigating difficult or high-stakes conversations with professionalism and clarity. You will be challenged with realistic scenarios and questions, so you can enter the conversation well-prepared and composed. Beyond navigating the intricacies of negotiation tactics, we focus on mindset. Many professionals underestimate their value or feel uncomfortable advocating for themselves. Coaching helps you shift this dynamic and step into these conversations with confidence and self-assurance. The goal is not only to negotiate effectively, but to do so in a way that feels authentic, aligned, and sustainable for your long-term career growth. Can you introduce me to companies or recommend me for roles? Clients and people in my network often ask me for recommendations and introductions to various companies. The reality is that, given my profession, I cannot remain fully objective, and there is a potential for a perceived conflict of interest. When founding LaMatu, I made a conscious decision not to recommend my clients for specific roles, as this would quickly blur the line between coaching and recruitment. By doing so, I maintain a clear distinction between my role as a coach and career advisor and that of a recruiter—which I am not. This approach allows me to preserve objectivity in my role as a coach, treat all clients equally, and remain focused on providing strategic support to clients navigating the job market. Do you support clients dealing with work-related stress or burnout? Yes. Supporting professionals experiencing work-related stress, chronic pressure, or early signs of burnout is an important part of LaMatu’s coaching approach. Coaching provides a confidential space to slow down, reflect, and understand what is truly driving the stress — whether related to workload, ambiguity, conflict, intercultural differences, leadership dynamics, values misalignment, or prolonged overperformance. Together, we work on rebuilding self-awareness, strengthening boundaries, and restoring a sense of control and clarity. The focus is not only on recovery, but also on prevention, helping clients recognise patterns before they escalate into burnout. Coaching integrates practical strategies for time and energy management, decision-making, and prioritisation, alongside deeper reflection on purpose, values, and sustainable ways of working. Where relevant, special attention is given to intercultural factors and workplace expectations in international or Dutch environments. The goal is to support long-term professional wellbeing, resilience, and a healthier relationship with work. Does LaMatu support professionals after job loss in the Netherlands? Yes. Supporting international professionals and expats in the Netherlands is a core part of LaMatu’s work. Losing a job while navigating a foreign labour market can bring additional complexity, including uncertainty around positioning, confidence, professional identity, cultural expectations and future career options. With extensive experience supporting international professionals from a wide range of cultural and professional backgrounds, and in-depth knowledge of the local market, LaMatu offers career coaching that combines strategic guidance with intercultural understanding and practical career development support. Can career coaching support me during a transition period? Yes, coaching can be highly valuable during a transition such as during mutual separation process during negotiating a settlement agreement with your employer. Periods of organisational change or negotiated separation often involve important professional decisions, emotional pressure and questions about future direction. Coaching can provide a confidential and structured space to reflect, prepare and make thoughtful decisions about your next steps. This may include career strategy, confidence-building, interview preparation, CV and LinkedIn positioning, leadership transitions or exploring new professional directions. Please note that LaMatu provides coaching support and strategic career guidance, but does not provide legal or financial advice regarding employment agreements. To my coaching clients I regularly recommend services of other trusted professionals from my network who specialise in the field and have delivered results for my clients in the past. Can LaMatu help me with career planning? Yes. Career planning is at the core of LaMatu’s coaching approach and goes far beyond identifying your next step. We will work on defining your long-term direction, including whether a leadership or management path is right for you, and how to position yourself for it. The process also addresses the future of work, helping you identify relevant skills, learning and development priorities, and opportunities for continuous growth. Together, we translate your strengths, values, and ambitions into a clear, strategic plan that supports both your immediate next step and your long-term career development. Whether you are considering a career change, exploring new directions, or looking to grow in your current role, LaMatu supports you in gaining clarity, defining a strategic direction, and building a concrete action plan. The process combines self-awareness (strengths, values, motivations) with a practical understanding of the job market, ensuring that your next step is both meaningful and realistic. LaMatu provides both strategic career planning and tactical support in identifying opportunities and successfully applying for jobs on the Dutch job market. Why choose Monika as a career coach? The coaching market is crowded, and credentials alone say very little. What tends to make the difference for my clients is a combination that is relatively rare. First, I have built the kind of career my clients are navigating. Before founding LaMatu I spent 16 years in international organisations, including IBM, Dyson, Philips, IKEA, Nikon and L’Oréal, leading complex projects and multicultural teams. I know what reorganisations, promotion rounds, performance reviews and organisational politics look like from the inside, so you will not need to explain your working context from scratch. Second, I am a certified professional coach, trained at the Dutch Associatie voor Coaching, a member of the International Coaching Federation and an NLP Master Practitioner, alongside four Master’s degrees. Business experience without coaching training tends to produce opinions and advice. Coaching training without business experience can remain abstract. The value lies in the combination of both. Third, I know this market. Having lived and worked in Amsterdam for two decades I understand the Dutch labour market as well as what it takes to build a career here as an international professional. I work in English, Dutch and Polish, and coached clients of almost 90 nationalities. Finally, this is coaching, not a recruitment agency or a CV service. My role is to help you think strategically and make decisions that will support your career long-term, so that the direction you choose is genuinely your own and holds up once you are back in the reality of your working life. The Discovery Call exists for precisely this question. Fit matters more than any credential, and you are welcome to test it before committing to anything. Which life coaching topics can LaMatu support me with? INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Can a coach help me achieve a better work-life balance? Finding the elusive work-life balance came to be known as lifestyle design. What coined the term are the collective efforts of the recent generations to consciously choose and shape their way of life instead of following into the footsteps of their parents. The freedom of choice comes with enormous responsibility. No wonder that many young people feel its weight and are at a loss about what kind of balance they should be striving to attain in their life. This is where a coaching conversation can provide more clarity. Blending various roles including work, household duties, parenthood, volounteering activities or other forms of service to the community requires juggling multiple demands. Many challenges arise due to the increasingly overlapping areas, as work tasks, care duties, and leisure activities all happen at the same time and often in the same space. For many people in the modern world the division of home environment and work environment can no longer be clearly delineated. Work is encroaching on the private territory, often at the cost of family, personal relations, leisure and last but not least, rest. Can coaching help me gain more energy and vitality? Demands of a modern life make it increasingly difficult to create room for incorporating healthy habits. The day seems too short to find the time needed for eating nutritious food, hydrating well, an exercising routine, let alone for sufficient sleep. When the mind goes into overdrive, the needs of the body and the soul are easily overlooked. Often neglected remain the needs to rewind and relax, rest and restore, spend the time to meditation and spiritual practices. As we feel the incessant pressure to stay busy and productive at all times, recreation, fun and leisure activities find no place in our brim-full agendas. With such busy schedules it’s no wonder many people are missing a sense of joy and adventure in their daily existence. Many people lack the sense of freedom to explore and engage in creative pursuits in a guilt-free way. With depleted energy levels fatigue slowly creeps in, which if unaddressed for too long, can lead to a burn-out. Luckily this vicious cycle can be reversed and your vitality can be restored to its optimal levels. With newly found energy you can face the world without being swallowed by it. A coach can help you identify the ways to incorporate healthy habits into your routine so that you can effectively replenish your energy and regain your zest for life. Once you rediscover how you can best tap into your own energy sources, you will be ready to face the world’s demands afresh with a newly found sense of aliveness. Is the area of personal relations suitable for coaching? No man is an island. Interpersonal relations play a central part in our lives and are a key source of learning. Family and friends, significant others, neighbours, co-workers, all the people around us, the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our existence. The cult of independence and aspirations of self-made success proclaimed by the modern Western culture leave many people feeling detached and isolated. No wonder that even highly regarded and otherwise successful people often face difficulties in the area of relationships. These issues range from difficulties in attracting a new partner, difficulties in opening up and being vulnerable, dealing with rejection and ghosting in dating, heartbreak, insecurity, relationships troubled with jealousy, commitment issues, unhealthy attachment patterns, infidelity, to name just a few. Loneliness is the modern world’s secret epidemic. It lies in stern contrast with the popularity we like to portray in our social media profiles, as loneliness comes with a lot of shame. Advances in internet technology that enabled virtual work environments, ecommerce, social media and online dating result in less of real-life human contact on a daily basis. Oddly enough, using social media and online dating may have a contrary result such as superficial relationships or feelings of isolation and loneliness. If the area of relationships is something that you would like to improve, discussing it with a life coach may a first step to create positive change. Coaching clients may choose to work on various relationships goals such as strengthening family bonds, maintaining deep, meaningful relationships, resolving conflict with neighbours, improving relationships with their colleagues, forming new intimate relations, rediscovering the value friendships or finding new friends. Can the coach support me in me in tackling my finances? The area of finances is a key aspect of the material world that most people struggle with, irrespectively of their level of material wealth. It is also one of the top reasons for arguments within the family. While talking about money is often considered a taboo, this topic is perfectly suited to be discussed in full confidentiality with your coach. Money goals may be formulated as getting out of debt, achieving financial security, attaining financial wellbeing or the ultimate goal of achieving financial independence. The inner work than needs to be done often includes debunking limiting beliefs around wealth and developing what is called in the personal-development world ‘a millionaire mindset’. While the law of attraction starts becoming an increasingly mainstream topic, there are many misconceptions around applying this concept in real life. What is often forgotten that even with the best attitude, eventually some form of action needs to follow suit. This may include anything from learning to budget expenses, adjusting spending habits up or down, creating alternative sources of income, contributing to a charity, changing jobs or starting a new venture. Together with the help of a professional coach you can identify the best course of action to help you realise your particular financial aspirations. It is important to mention that LaMatu is not a licensed financial advisor, and the information presented should not be considered as financial advice. LaMatu is not providing legal, financial, investment, tax, or accounting advice. Please bear in mind that any reliance you place on the information provided is at your own risk. Is coaching effective for issues with procrastination and motivation? Coaching can effectively address problems related to procrastination and motivation. Procrastination and lack of motivation are one of the culprits that the majority of coachees struggle with. We all procrastinate for different reasons and in different areas of our lives, which is why there is no simple recipe that would miraculously work to uproot the stubborn habit of procrastinating once and for all. That said, gaining better awareness about your own thoughts, emotions and and behaviour thought patterns can be a powerful tool to disarm this common culprit. A better understanding of mechanisms such as avoiding guilt and seeking pleasure can lead to valuable insights and breakthroughs in that area. The shift may involve to start perceiving self-care as an expression of self-love as opposed to laziness and indulgence. Since the positive psychology movement gained in popularity, we started paying more attention to the intrinsic motivation as opposed to merely looking at extrinsic motivation such as external incentives and rewards. More often than not it is the intangible attributes such as motivation, inner drive and perseverance that determine the individual’s success as opposed to a particular skillset and knowledge. Willpower and discipline can get you only as far. Unless your inner fire is burning brightly, you may not find the strength to keep going in face of adversity. It is rarely crowded on the last mile. Finding one’s purpose and discovering meaning is the source to sustain motivation. Hiring a professional coach can help you tap into your internal motivation sources so that you can feel inspired and committed to reach your goals. How can coaching help me alleviate my imposter syndrome? If left unchecked, imposter syndrome can significantly impede both personal and professional development. This pervasive feeling of self-doubt and fear of being exposed as a “fraud” can be debilitating. Through our coaching sessions, I help clients to recognise and challenge these self-limiting beliefs. By developing a more realistic and positive self-assessment, clients can gain a true understanding of their achievements and build confidence in their skills and capabilities. Can coaching help me with decision-making? Yes. Many clients come to coaching during periods of transition, uncertainty or growth, when they are facing important professional or personal decisions. At LaMatu, coaching is designed to help you reconnect with your values, strengths and long-term vision, so that decisions can be approached with greater clarity and confidence. An ethical coach respects your boundaries and supports your independent decision-making process, creating space for reflection, perspective and meaningful growth. What is the coaching agreement? INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION How can I reschedule my already planned session? Coaching sessions can be rescheduled by either the coachee or the coach upon mutual agreement with a minimum of 24 hours’ notice. Changes can be made by the coachee directly in the Calendly tool by using the “Reschedule” button. Email is the primary method to communicate around schedule changes. In case of an urgent need to postpone or advance the session with a less than 24 hours’ notice before the originally planned session start, the coach or coachee will notify the other side either by email or by mobile phone. Rescheduling a free intake is free of charge irrespectively of the notice period. An administrative fee associated with rescheduling a paid session by the coachee while observing the 24 hours’ notice period will be charged for each instance of rescheduling the session. An attempt of rescheduling a paid session later than 24 hours in advance will result in incurring full session fee and losing the session credit. May I adjust the type of my coaching session later on? The type of a coaching session may be adjusted by either the coachee or the coach upon mutual agreement with a minimum of 24 hours’ notice. Email is the primary method to communicate around session type changes. In case of an urgent need to change the type of the session with a less than 24 hours’ notice before the planned session, the coach or the coachee will notify the other side either by email or phone. For example a walk & talk session may be converted to an online session upon mutual agreement, for example due to bad weather conditions. Similarly, adjusting a face-to-face session to an online one may be a good choice due to health and safety considerations, as well as in case of unexpected travel or care duties at home. What if I don’t want to continue with my coaching trajectory? There are no strings attached. An intake call only, a single session, a workshop or a full trajectory consisting of several meetings, you decide how long you want to continue with your coaching journey. Either the coachee or the coach may exit the coaching relationship at any time without specifying the reason. Both sides may mutually agree to end a session earlier than the designated end time. When either side decides not to continue after an intake or a single session, no future sessions will be planned. A coaching trajectory consisting of several sessions may also be stopped at any time. In that case the termination is subject to a notice period of minimum 24 hours prior to the start of the next scheduled session. There are no additional costs associated with terminating the coaching relationship. Please bear in mind that there are no refunds offered for the unused credits of a coaching package. All bookings are non-transferrable, which means that the unused part of a package may not be transferred to a different coachee. What happens if I am late or miss my session? LaMatu believes in the power of commitment and encourages its clients to honour their plans. The coach commits to respect her clients’ time and keep the appointments. It is the coachees’ responsibility to manage their digital agenda well and ensure that the session planning is correctly reflected in their calendar. LaMatu values mutual respect for time and commitment. Sessions start and end at the scheduled time. If you are running late, the coach will wait for up to 15 minutes after the scheduled start of the session. If you arrive within this window, the session will still end at the originally scheduled time and will not be extended. If you arrive later than 15 minutes, the session will be considered a no-show and may be charged in full. In case you are unable to attend, you are kindly asked to reschedule your session in line with the cancellation policy. This allows the time slot to be offered to another client. What are the cancellation conditions? Appointments may be cancelled by both sides up to until 24 hours before the planned session start. Email is the primary method to communicate the decision to cancel the appointment. In case of an urgent need to cancel the session with a less than 24 hours’ notice before the planned session, the coach or the coachee will notify the other side either by email or by mobile phone. There are no additional costs associated with cancelling a free intake session by the coachee, irrespectively of the notice period. A cancellation of a paid session communicated later than 24 hours in advance or a no-show during the first 15 minutes of the session will result in incurring a full session fee and losing the session credit. In case of a cancellation initiated by the coachee or a no-show, no refunds will be offered for sessions that had been paid upfront. In case the coach feels obliged to cancel the sessions, e.g., due to health and safety reasons or ethical concerns, the coachee will receive a full refund for the sessions that had been paid for upfront and eventually cancelled by the coach, irrespectively of the notice period. Will the coaching session be recorded? To maintain a safe and confidential space, coaching sessions are not recorded. This helps protect your privacy and ensures an open, honest dialogue. If there’s ever a reason to record a session (for example, for training purposes), it must be discussed and agreed upon in writing by both you and your coach in advance. Does the information that I share with the coach remain confidential? LaMatu values and respects your privacy and assures that your personal information shall be handled with utmost care for your privacy. Our interactions will remain fully confidential. The conversations will never be recorded without your explicit consent. The coach obliges to maintain confidentiality of the coachee and handle the coachee’s private information according to the rules stipulated by the European GDPR directives and the local Dutch privacy legislation. LaMatu abides by the ethical codes of the International Coaching Federation, which you can consult in the [“Code of Ethics” section of this website](https://lamatu.com/ethical-code/). How can I communicate with the coach between the sessions? Email is the primary communication channel to be used between the coach and coachee in-between the sessions. In case of urgencies (short notice of less than 24 hours prior to the scheduled session) mobile communications by a phone, voicemail, SMS or WhatsApp may be used. Keeping the communication lines simple and streamlined makes things simple and helps us maintain the necessary focus by avoiding unnecessary distractions. Even more importantly, it guarantees compliance with data protection regulations and protects your privacy. This is why alternative communication channels such as LinkedIn, Skype, Telegram, Signal, Facebook or Instagram shall not be used for the purpose of the coaching trajectory.

If you are unsure whether coaching can be reimbursed or deducted in your specific situation, please consult your insurance provider. Will my employer cover the cost of coaching as part of my exit package? In many cases, yes. Dutch employers often include professional development, retraining or outplacement budgets as part of redundancy or mutual separation agreements. These budgets typically may be used to support an individual outplacement career coaching trajectory, depending on the terms agreed between you and your employer. If you are currently negotiating your exit package, it may be worth exploring whether coaching support can be included.

The cost of coaching sessions in the Netherlands is a tax-deductible allowable expense for those who own small businesses or are self-employed. That means that an individual taxpayer or a business can subtract the amount they had spent on coaching from adjusted gross income while completing a tax form. As a result, the taxable income and eventually also the amount of income taxes owed are reduced. For private clients, coaching is generally paid for personally.

Are you looking for a quick check-in moment? A Calibration Session is what you need. Plan 45-minute-long online call and we will quickly pick up the conversation where we have last left off. - Calibration session - Check-in for existing clients - Online meeting - 45 minutes ![Monika Matuszewska - LaMatu Professional Coaching Services Amsterdam](https://lamatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PLN_2367Monika-Matuszewska-LaMatu-Professional-Coaching-Services-Amsterdam-tinified.jpg) ###### Online Callibration ##### Why can an online calibration be helpful? Imagine that after a workshop at LaMatu or some time after finishing your coaching trajectory you find yourself in need of a bit of guidance. Maybe you need to make an important decision and keep thinking “I wonder what my coach would say”. If that’s the case, this calibration session is just what you need. For existing clients with new questions This type of session is offered only to existing clients. As your life evolves, new questions may arise. You may be preparing for a crucial conversation, negotiating a salary raise, considering a career change or a geographical move. Whatever the new question is, it is easier to talk through it with a coach who already knows you. Quick and efficient As we already know each other, it will be easy to pick up the thread of our previous conversations. No small talk, maximum efficiency. As the calibration call is an online conversation, the 45 minutes of your undistracted attention is the only time investment that you need to make. A quick check-in moment This mini-session is meant as a follow-up moment, and therefore it is shorter than regular individual conversations. This duration offers a possibility to quickly check in, brainstorm and fine-tune. Unlike a longer coaching trajectory, you are booking a single session only. No strings attached!

Introduction 2\. Key Definitions 3\. ICF Core Values and Ethical Principles 4\. Ethical Standards 5\. Pledge 1\. Introduction The ICF Code of Ethics describes the core values of the International Coaching Federation (ICF Core Values), ethical principles and ethical standards of behavior for all ICF Professionals (see definitions). Meeting these ICF ethical standards of behavior is the first of the ICF core coaching competencies (ICF Core Competencies) – “Demonstrates ethical practice: understands and consistently applies coaching ethics and standards.” The ICF Code of Ethics serves to uphold the integrity of ICF and the global coaching profession by: • Setting standards of conduct consistent with ICF Core Values and ethical principles. • Guiding ethical reflection, education and decision-making. • Adjudicating and preserving ICF coach standards through the ICF Ethical Conduct Review (ECR) process. • Providing the basis for ICF ethics training in ICF-accredited training programs. The ICF Code of Ethics applies when ICF Professionals represent themselves as such, in any kind of coaching-related interaction. This is regardless of whether a coaching relationship (see definitions) has been established. This Code articulates the ethical obligations of ICF Professionals who are acting in their different roles as coach, coach supervisor, mentor coach, trainer or student coach-in-training, or serving in an ICF Leadership role, as well as Support Personnel (see definitions). Although the Ethical Conduct Review (ECR) process is only applicable to ICF Professionals, as is the Pledge, the ICF Staff are also committed to ethical conduct and the Core Values and Ethical Principles that underpin this ICF Code of Ethics. The challenge of working ethically means that members will inevitably encounter situations that require responses to unexpected issues, resolution of dilemmas and solutions to problems. This Code of Ethics is intended to assist those persons subject to the Code by directing them to the variety of ethical factors that may need to be taken into consideration and helping to identify alternative ways of approaching ethical behavior. ICF Professionals who accept the Code of Ethics strive to be ethical, even when doing so involves making difficult decisions or acting courageously. 2\. Key Definitions • Client – the individual or team/group being coached, the coach being mentored or supervised, or the coach or the student coach being trained. • Coaching – partnering with Clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. • Coaching Relationship – a relationship that is established by the ICF Professional and the Client(s)/Sponsor(s) under an agreement or a contract that defines the responsibilities and expectations of each party. • Code – ICF Code of Ethics • Confidentiality – protection of any information obtained around the coaching engagement unless consent to release is given. • Conflict of Interest – a situation in which an ICF Professional is involved in multiple interests where serving one interest could work against or be in conflict with another. This could be financial, personal or otherwise. • Equality – a situation in which all people experience inclusion, access to resources and opportunity, regardless of their race, ethnicity, national origin, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, religion, immigration status, mental or physical disability, and other areas of human difference. • ICF Professional – individuals who represent themselves as an ICF Member or ICF Credential-holder, in roles including but not limited to Coach, Coach Supervisor, Mentor Coach, Coach Trainer and Student of Coaching • ICF Staff – the ICF support personnel who are contracted by the managing company that provides professional management and administrative services on behalf of ICF. • Internal Coach – an individual who is employed within an organization and coaches either part-time or full-time the employees of that organization. • Sponsor – the entity (including its representatives) paying for and/or arranging or defining the coaching services to be provided. • Support Personnel – the people who work for ICF Professionals in support of their Clients. • Systemic Equality – gender equality, race equality and other forms of equality that are institutionalized in the ethics, core values, policies, structures, and cultures of communities, organizations, nations and society. 3\. ICF Core Values and Ethical Principles The ICF Code of Ethics is based on the ICF Core Values and the actions that flow from them. All values are equally important and support one another. These values are aspirational and should be used as a way to understand and interpret the standards. All ICF Professionals are expected to showcase and propagate these Values in all their interactions. 4\. Ethical Standards The following ethical standards are applied to the professional activities of ICF Professionals: Section I – Responsibility to Clients As an ICF Professional, I: 1\. Explain and ensure that, prior to or at the initial meeting, my coaching Client(s) and Sponsor(s) understand the nature and potential value of coaching, the nature and limits of confidentiality, financial arrangements, and any other terms of the coaching agreement. 2\. Create an agreement / contract regarding the roles, responsibilities and rights of all parties involved with my Client(s) and Sponsor(s) prior to the commencement of services. 3\. Maintain the strictest levels of confidentiality with all parties as agreed upon. I am aware of and agree to comply with all applicable laws that pertain to personal data and communications. 4\. Have a clear understanding about how information is exchanged among all parties involved during all coaching interactions. 5\. Have a clear understanding with both Clients and Sponsors or interested parties about the conditions under which information will not be kept confidential (e.g., illegal activity, if required by law, pursuant to valid court order or subpoena; imminent of likely risk of danger to self or others; etc.). Where I reasonably believe one of the above circumstances is applicable, I may need to inform appropriate authorities. 6\. When working as an Internal Coach, manage conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest with my coaching Client(s) and Sponsor(s) through coaching agreement(s) and ongoing dialogue. This should include addressing organizational roles, responsibilities, relationships, records, confidentiality and other reporting requirements. 7\. Maintain, store and dispose of any records, including electronic files and communications, created during my professional interactions in a manner that promotes confidentiality, security and privacy, and complies with any applicable laws and agreements. Furthermore, I see to make proper use of emerging and growing technological developments that are being used in coaching services (technology-assisted coaching services) and to be aware of how various ethical standards apply to them. 8\. Remain alert to indications that there might be a shift in the value received from the coaching relationship. If so, make a change in the relationship or encourage the Client(s) / Sponsor(s) to seek another coach, seek another professional or use a different resource. 9\. Respect all parties’ right to terminate the coaching relationship at any point for any reason during the coaching process subject to the provisions of the agreement. 10\. Am sensitive to the implications of having multiple contracts and relationships with the same Client(s) and Sponsor(s) at the same time in order to avoid conflict of interest situations. 11\. Am aware of and actively manage any power or status difference between the Client and me that may be caused by cultural, relational, psychological or contextual issues. 12\. Disclose to my Clients the potential receipt of compensation and other benefits I may receive for referring my Clients to third parties. 13\. Assure consistent quality of coaching regardless of the amount or form of agreed compensation in any relationship. Section II – Responsibility to Practice and Performance As an ICF Professional, I: 1\. Adhere to the ICF Code of Ethics in all my interactions. When I become aware of a possible breach of the Code by myself or I recognize unethical behavior in another ICF Professional, I respectfully raise the matter with those involved. If this does not resolve the matter, I refer to a formal authority (e.g., ICF Staff) for resolution. 2\. Require adherence to the ICF Code of Ethics by all Support Personnel. 3\. Commit to excellence through continued personal, professional and ethical development. 4\. Recognize my personal limitations or circumstances that may impair, conflict with or interfere with my coaching performance or my professional coaching relationships. I will reach out for support to determine the action to be taken and, if necessary, promptly seek relevant professional guidance. This may include suspending or terminating my coaching relationship(s). 5\. Resolve any conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest by working through the issue with relevant parties, seeking professional assistance, or suspending temporarily or ending the professional relationship. 6\. Maintain the privacy of ICF Members and use the ICF Member contact information (email addresses, telephone numbers, and so on) only as authorized by ICF or the ICF Member. Section III – Responsibility to Professionalism As an ICF Professional, I: 1\. Identify accurately my coaching qualifications, my level of coaching competency, expertise, experience, training, certifications and ICF Credentials. 2\. Make verbal and written statements that are true and accurate about what I offer as an ICF Professional, what is offered by ICF, the coaching profession and the potential value of coaching. 3\. Communicate and create awareness with those who need to be informed of the ethical responsibilities established by this Code. 4\. Hold responsibility for being aware of and setting clear, appropriate and culturally sensitive boundaries that govern interactions, physical or otherwise. 5\. Do not participate in any sexual or romantic engagement with Client(s) or Sponsor(s). I will be ever mindful of the level of intimacy appropriate for the relationship. I take the appropriate action to address the issue or cancel the engagement. Section IV – Responsibility to Society As an ICF Professional, I: 1\. Avoid discrimination by maintaining fairness and equality in all activities and operations, while respecting local rules and cultural practices. This includes, but is not limited to, discrimination on the basis of age, race, gender expression, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, disability or military status. 2\. Recognize and honor the contributions and intellectual property of others, only claiming ownership of my own material. I understand that a breach of this standard may subject me to legal remedy by a third party. 3\. Am honest and work within recognized scientific standards, applicable subject guidelines and boundaries of my competence when conducting and reporting research. 4\. Am aware of my and my clients’ impact on society. I adhere to the philosophy of “doing good” versus “avoiding bad.” 5\. Pledge As an ICF Professional, in accordance with the Standards of the ICF Code of Ethics, I acknowledge and agree to fulfill my ethical and legal obligations to my coaching Client(s), Sponsor(s), colleagues and to the public at large. If I breach any part of the ICF Code of Ethics, I agree that ICF in its sole discretion may hold me accountable for so doing. I further agree that my accountability to ICF for any breach may include sanctions, such as mandatory additional coach training or other education, or loss of my ICF Membership and / or my ICF Credential.

Each conversation is a unique experience as every session is tailored to your specific needs. Discover the power of real, human interaction to uncover the answers to your life’s most important questions. Allow yourself the space to explore your life’s dilemmas in a private setting and a safe environment, free from the distractions of the everyday life. See pricing options for various coaching packages options below. The full experience Holding the session in the comfort of the the coaching practice room allows for a safe space and fully private setting. Allocating specific time and space to your coaching trajectory makes you treat it as a more serious commitment. My experience shows that coachees who visit the practice are more deliberate and conscientious as opposed to those opting for online sessions. More varied session formats An in-person session is typically more intense than a session online or outdoors and hence often proves to be more powerful. This session type allows for more varied coaching methods. In addition to a traditional coaching dialogue we may decide to incorporate specific exercises such as writing, working with insight cards, visualisation or guided meditation. Zero distractions By booking a session in the coaching practice you ensure that you can fully focus with your undivided attention. By allowing yourself to be fully present, you leave all the distractions outside and make sure that nothing can interfere with the session. This is one of the reasons why this format is highly effective. Easy to book You can plan your appointment directly through this website.

Thanks to their rich experience and wisdom mentors can act as advisors, tutors, sponsors supporters, and role models. People with extensive background in their area of expertise may be willing to share their knowledge with those who are just starting up in their field. They may be willing to help you bounce ideas around regarding possible course of action and share their own experience. This input may help the mentee gain a new perspective and avoid some common beginner’s pitfalls. Having a mentor as a guide, the mentee can navigate more confidently in a new terrain. ![Monika Matuszewska from LaMatu Professional Coaching Services in Amsterdam](https://lamatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/YES-Monika-Matuszewska-LaMatu-Standing-like-a-Tree-with-a-Laptop-equals-PLN_1666-681x1024.jpg) Let’s start from the very beginning. The term mentor has its origins in classic Greek mythology. A wise teacher named Mentor was asked by his friend Odysseus to watch over his precious son Telemachus, as he embarked on a lengthy voyage. And so Mentor gave his support, guidance, protection, and blessing to the young man, until Odysseus safely returned home from his long journey. ![Monika Matuszewska from LaMatu Professional Coaching Services in Amsterdam](https://lamatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/YES-Monika-Matuszewska-LaMatu-Standing-Smiling-Head-Back-Portrait-equals-PLN_1623-681x1024.jpg) #### the art of mentoring ### Coaching and Mentoring Hiring a coach is different from entering a mentorship relationship. A coaching agreement is entered on more equal terms than with a mentor and patron. An experienced coach may alternate between the two roles with conscious discernment, sometimes choosing to step into a mentor role and offering to share more of their personal experience. If the coach has sufficient expertise in the area of the coachee’s dilemma, this kind of interaction may be beneficial. It is important to remember that a coach is not an advisor and their assignment is not to offer solutions, but help the coachee find their own answers. ### The Role of a Mentor The mentor is not a coach. You can expect the mentor to provide you with feedback and suggestions regarding your mid-term and long-term aspirations, but they typically won’t be too involved with your day-to-day performance. A coach is typically more actively engaged in your life and will also be there for you to support you on short-term results. They will help you define your tactics and make sure you stay on track to reach your goals throughout the coaching trajectory. #### THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A MENTOR ### What to Expect from a Mentor If you want your conversation with the mentor to be effective, you need to approach the process with a clear intention in mind. In order for the mentorship is to be successful, it is crucial that the mentee demonstrates the willingness to reflect and think independently. The mentor may share their own experience and personal views, offer some practical tips and even suggest new ideas, but the responsibility for setting and achieving one’s goals lies fully at the mentee’s side. ### The Role of a Mentee Being a mentee is by no means a passive role. It takes serious commitment and preparations. If you want your conversation with the mentor to be effective, you need to approach the process with a clear intention in mind. As you are likely to work with a professional who has earned some professional reputation for themselves in their respective field, showing a certain degree of respect on your part will be called for. You will be expected to honour your mentor’s time, show up well prepared for the meetings and be efficient in all your interactions. Your mentor is likely to have high standards and you may need to deal with their feedback in a mature way. You will therefore need a certain level of self-awareness and a growth mindset. #### mentorinG STYLE ### Key Qualities of a Good Mentor To be a good mentor, in addition to your experience you also need to acquire the knowledge of certain concepts and techniques. Mentors and coaches use some of the same skills, which is why the two roles are often confused. The core skills applied by a mentor are asking powerful questions and active listening. While the questions may seem challenging at times, their intention is to help the mentee grow. A good mentor will have mastered the art of deep listening and conversation skills. They will be able to pick up on subtle clues that go way beyond the surface of what is actually being said. #### THE NATURE OF MENTORSHIP ### The Responsibilities of the Mentee Being a mentee is by no means a passive role. It takes serious commitment and preparations. If you want your conversation with the mentor to be effective, you need to approach the process with a clear intention in mind. As you are likely to work with a professional who has earned some professional reputation for themselves in their respective field, showing a certain degree of respect on your part will be called for. You will be expected to honour your mentor’s time, show up well prepared for the meetings and be efficient in all your interactions. Your mentor is likely to have high standards and you may need to deal with their feedback in a mature way. You will therefore need a certain level of self-awareness and a growth mindset. ### Inner Guidance If you want your conversation with the mentor to be effective, you need to approach the process with a clear intention in mind. In order for the mentorship is to be successful, it is crucial that the mentee demonstrates the willingness to reflect and think independently. The mentor may share their own experience and personal views, offer some practical tips and even suggest new ideas, but the responsibility for setting and achieving one’s goals lies fully at the mentee’s side. #### Deep dive, steep growth ### Grow with Mentoring In the most common scenario, you would be meeting with your mentor in a neutral environment outside of your workplace. An effective mentorship conversation, no matter how short, would typically consist of the several parts. After introducing the topic and the initial explanation of the question at hand, the conversation is structured following an established order. The parts succeeding the introduction are: Goal, Reality, Options & Wrap-up, which gives rise to the abbreviated name of the GROW model. After the initial description of the topic, it is important to establish the actual goal of the interaction. What will the coachee find helpful during that particular conversation? ### Reach Your Goals What follows is taking a closer look at the reality. What is the current state of the affairs? It’s important to look at various aspects of the issue. How does the situation present itself when looked at objectively? After the picture of reality is clear, the mentor can coach the mentee to come up with several possible solutions. Having multiple options on how to approach the issue leads to the next, logical step of the conversation; those alternative approaches need to be evaluated and prioritised as options for action. Once the next steps are clear, it is time to summarise the key takeaways, commit to the agreed course of action and wrap up the session. #### The impact of Mentoring ### Mentorship as an Act of Service Mentoring is an art and a way of giving back by guiding and nurturing the growth of others during various stages of their development. It takes willingness to share one’s expertise and dedicate time to facilitating personal and professional development of others. While mentorship can be seen as an act of service, it is in fact often equally rewarding for the mentors on a deeper level. Conversations with the mentee provide the mentor with an opportunity of self-reflection. By answering the mentee’s questions, the mentor gets to re-evaluate their own trajectory, gain deeper understanding and new perspective. Thank to this exchange both sides develop their self-awareness as well as interpersonal and professional skills. ### Pay It Forward with Reverse Mentorship When the thought of seeking out a mentor arises in you, first take a moment to ask yourself if you could become a mentor to someone yourself. In which areas of your life do you have more expertise than others? With whom would you like to share it? Being a mentor has nothing to do with age or seniority in an ogranisation. Companies often encourage ‘reverse mentorship’ programmes to help bridge generational gaps amongst their employees. You may be a wonderful mentor to a person much older than you by for example helping an elderly person use new technologies or a recent immigrant find their way in a country that feels foreign to them. If you were ever lucky enough to have encountered a mentor in your life, remember to pay it forward and keep the virtuous circle going. ### The Butterfly Effect of Mentorship The butterfly effect of mentorship speaks to the profound and often unpredictable ripple effect a single act of guidance can have over time. Just like the flap of a butterfly’s wings can influence weather patterns across the globe, a mentor’s words of encouragement, a shared insight, or a pivotal question can quietly alter the course of someone’s personal or professional journey. Mentorship isn’t just about offering advice in the moment—it’s about planting seeds of confidence, curiosity, and clarity that may bloom years later, shaping decisions, careers, and even communities. In this way, the true impact of mentorship often reveals itself far beyond the initial interaction, echoing across generations and borders in ways both visible and unseen. ### Mentorship Programmes ###### Supporting Entrepreneurs and Professionals Over the course of my 20-year long professional career I have been a staunch advocate for female leadership.

This motivation led me to pursue higher education extensively, culminating in four Master’s degrees. Alongside my academic path, I continued to invest in my development throughout my corporate career, with a strong focus on vocational training in project management, leadership, and team dynamics. My learning trajectory reflects a consistent, life-long commitment to growth. I have always been inspired by the opportunity to expand my knowledge, broaden my horizons, and explore perspectives beyond conventional education. This curiosity has taken me beyond traditional academic frameworks—encouraging me to seek new experiences, stretch my comfort zone, and continuously develop new skills. The achievements presented below are the result of both focused effort and pure joy of learning. ![Monika Matuszewska, the founder of LaMatu Professional Coaching Services](https://lamatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Monika-Matuszewska-LaMatu-Professional-Coaching-Services-scaled.jpg) #### CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION My journey into professional coaching is a natural extension of this path. It is rooted in a strong foundation of professional experience and a deep interest in human development. Throughout my managerial career, I completed multiple leadership programmes and courses to develop and apply coaching skills in a business context. Over more than a decade, I have refined my expertise through formal training in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, integrating business acumen with psychological frameworks and approaches such as neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and mindfulness. In addition to my academic background, I have completed extensive formal training at recognised institutions in the fields of professional coaching, psychology, counselling, NLP, and yoga. I hold professional credentials across these disciplines and maintain active membership in relevant professional associations. To qualify as a certified career, mindset, personal leadership, and lifestyle coach, I have undertaken comprehensive training over a period of more than 10 years.

At the age of 22, during my studies, I embarked on my expat adventure. The journey first brought me to Spain and Germany. I finally got enchanted by Amsterdam and in 2008 I decided to settle for good in the Netherlands. ![Monika Matuszewska - LaMatu Professional Coaching Services Amsterdam](https://lamatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PLN_2367Monika-Matuszewska-LaMatu-Professional-Coaching-Services-Amsterdam-tinified-682x1024.jpg) As far as I can remember I have been fascinated by languages and different cultures. Speaking five languages, having lived and worked in four different countries and visited another fifty-eight across five continents helped me broaden my horizons, foster an international mindset and develop cross-cultural skills. Personal development has been a red thread in my life. As a coach I practice what I preach. Up until today I continue with mentoring sessions, personal development events and advanced yoga teacher studies. ![Monika Matuszewska - LaMatu Professional Coaching Services in Amsterdam](https://lamatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PLN_2353Monika-Matuszewska-LaMatu-Professional-Coaching-Services-Amsterdam-tinified-682x1024.jpg) #### The Coach ### Business Experience As a career, personal leadership and mindset coach I bring in over 16 years of professional experience working in international corporate environments.

As a business professional I have accumulated rich business experience including managing projects and leading teams. My background is in marketing of consumer goods in industries such as electronics, home furnishing, retail and beauty for leading international consumer brands across Europe, including IBM, Bosch, Siemens, Dyson, Philips, IKEA, Nikon and L’Oréal. ### Professional Highlights Knowledge is power, but the proof is in the pudding. Throughout my 16 years of working for international corporations I have gathered a fair amount of real-life business experience. I got to apply the skills in a variety of marketing, project and team management roles, working with people from diverse cultures, professional backgrounds and personalities. Here are a few key figures showing my business side. years 1 professional experience working in and for international organisations companies 1 corporate multinational organisations with a global footprint years 1 in team management positions at international companies masters 1 university degrees including international management diplomas 1 in project management including traditional and agile methods #### Coaching style ### Focus on Present and Future During the coaching sessions we work with reality as it presents itself in the current moment. This awareness creates a fertile ground for introspection and self-reflection. The focus lies on the present situation as a basis for creating a compelling future vision, as opposed to dwelling in the past. It is thanks to this momentum that change can take place. ### Fresh Perspective and Clarity The coaching process may result in revealing the tricks of the mind, removing obstacles in the form of limiting beliefs, dispelling the chaos of thoughts and thus facilitating new insights. The newly gained perspective allows to make decisions with ease, looking from a new stance. The clarity that emerges as a result of the coaching process provides a basis for healthy life choices in tune with the coachee’s values and aspirations. ### Compassionate & Respectful My coachees often describe me as compassionate and respectful. I believe in mind, body and soul connection, which dictates a holistic approach. It is my intention is to hold the space where thoughts, emotions and sensations are equally welcome. nationalties 1 represented by individual coaching clients of LaMatu countries 1 visited at four different continents years 1 of expat experience across Europe years 1 living and working in the Netherlands cities 1 called home in four European countries languages 1 spoken including Dutch, English, German and Spanish #### the journey ### Global Mindset I moved many times in my adult life, and consider myself a citizen of the world and seasoned expat. Having lived and worked in multiple European countries, I was lucky to have had the opportunity to learn to speak Polish, English, German, Spanish and Dutch. I also understand basic Russian and French. If I could pick another language to learn, that would be Japanese. ### World Travels I have a curious mind, I like to explore and learn new things, be it by traveling, talking to people, watching documentaries, listening to podcasts or reading. I travel as far as I can and as often as I can. I have traveled to all continents except for one. So far, I visited 63 countries and I keep on counting… ### Inner Journeys I believe that this travel quote equally applies to any inward journey that one may undertake. By starting a coaching trajectory you embark on a journey of self-discovery. You may come to discover that the only way out is in. I wish you the curiosity and courage to take the first step on that path. ‘Travel is never a matter of money but of courage.’ #### Paulo Coelho #### sources of inspiration ### Lifelong Learning Besides languages and travel my personal interests include reading. I am an avid reader, and if you share my passion for the written word, I will be happy to recommend some books as a source of inspiration during your coaching trajectory. If you prefer experiences, I can share tips and recommendations on where to seek them. ### Moved by Inner Beauty My mission is to help people recognise their inner beauty and be able to appreciate the beauty of the world we live in. I aim to leave each coachee inspired and empowered to design and create a life fully lived and aligned with their highest purpose. ##### FREE DISCOVERY CALL #### Enough about me.

LaMatu is hosting a small gathering designed to help you intentionally close the previous phase and clarify your goals for the coming year. This workshop, organised by LaMatu in Amsterdam, is designed to help you intentionally close the previous season, and set meaningful goals and intentions for the future. The session combines structured reflection with practical exercises, including a reflection and review, intention setting, guided journaling, small-group dialogue, and visual mapping by means of creating personal visualisation boards. Join the hands-on vision board session in which you will design your ideal future through a powerful visualisation exercise grounded in positive psychology. By the end of the workshop, you will leave with renewed clarity, and your personal vision board to guide their focus throughout the coming period — grounded, intentional, and ready to start the new season with positive momentum. Rather than letting this transition pass unnoticed, join a dedicated in-person session at LaMatu to support conscious reflection, intentional alignment, and forward planning. This experience was carefully created to support that process: helping participants clarify what kind of life they want to design and create in the coming season, and intentionally plant the seeds of everything that they want to manifest. **✨ CLOSING PRACTICE** The morning begins with a closing practice, guided by an experienced workshop facilitator. Before looking ahead, you will be invited to consciously and intentionally close the period that is coming to an end. This part of the workshop focuses on a guided review through self-journaling exercises designed to help you integrate experiences, acknowledge growth, and gently let go of what no longer serves you. Through carefully curated reflection prompts, you will review the past period with compassion and perspective — recognising milestones, lessons learned, challenges navigated, and moments of pride. Rather than analysing or judging, this process emphasises appreciation, meaning-making, and inner completion. The exercises are structured yet spacious, allowing you to work at your own pace in silence, supported by a calm and contained environment. This reflective pause helps create emotional and mental closure, so you do not carry unfinished narratives into the new year. Participants of the previous editions experienced this exercise as grounding, uplifting, and unexpectedly empowering. By consciously acknowledging what has been, you create space for clarity, gratitude, and renewed energy — laying a strong foundation for intention setting and forward momentum. This reflective closing ritual ensures that the transition into the new season is not rushed, but honoured — allowing you to step forward feeling aligned, and ready for what is next. **✨ GROUP LUNCH** Following the morning workshop part, participants will enjoy a slow moment with a group lunch, meaningful conversations, and the opportunity to connect with other participants who have chosen to start a new season in an intentional way. **✨ INTENTION SETTING RITUAL** During the goal setting part of the workshop you will be guided to define some positive intentions for the period ahead. You will write these intentions on a piece of wax paper, which can be folded and carefully lit like a candle. This beautiful ritual marks the start of a new season, a transition grounded in intentional choice. This process will allow you to bring positive, clearly articulated intentions into the new period of your life. > --- > > ***“Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.”*** > > **― Tony Robbins** > > --- **✨ VISION BOARD CREATION** You will create a physical visualisation board using magazines, images, words, glue, and scissors. This mindful process will help you translate your goals and intentions into visible direction, connecting dreams and ideas in a tangible way. Each participant will create their dream collage landscape. This hands-on activity invites you to reconnect with your creativity, slow down and work with attention and presence, turning the exercise into a form of applied mindfulness. By selecting images and words intuitively as well as deliberately, you may notice patterns, themes, or desires emerging that reflect what your subconscious is drawn to. Bringing these elements to the surface and creating a moodboard allows you to visualise what truly matters to you — often beyond what is easy to articulate in words. The finished board will serve as a visual anchor for the year ahead: a tangible reference that supports focus, clarity, and aligned decision-making long after the workshop has ended. You will leave the workshop with a personal visual reference that supports your intentions for the season ahead. **🕚 TIMING** The event starts at 11:11 with a lunch break and will take up to 7 hours. It is best to set some quiet time for yourself in the evening and not to plan other social engagements in the evening directly after the event. This will allow you the space to fully relax and enjoy the experience. Dress as your future version would like to show up and make sure to arrive on time, as your most intentional self. **📍 WORKSHOP VENUE** LaMatu Coaching Practice is located in the VERTICAL building right opposite the NS Station Amsterdam Sloterdijk, West of Westerpark.

As we become more dependent on the use of our devices, we find that dealing with distractions such as notifications, maintaining our focus and concentration is becoming increasingly hard.

This session will touch upon current trends such as social media detox and dopamine fasting and examine the possible impact on our mental health.

Tens of thousands of individuals from around the world have participated in it, through organisational and corporate trainings & retreats, university and school leadership courses, and personal development programs. The game was invented, written, and first performed in 1977 by George Leonard, author, award-winning editor, musician, Aikido instructor and pioneer in the Human Potential movement. **Content:** **About The Samurai Game** A Samurai Game® one day event, open to the public, will take place in Amsterdam Zuidas on Friday 22nd of November 2024, delivered by certified Samurai Game® facilitator, Lawrence Warry. Calling for enthusiastic people, wishing to develop their leadership and team-participation skills, of varying backgrounds and interests, you are welcome to participate in this event. Participants of all walks of life come to these public games and one never really knows how many people will turn up and what kind of group will materialise on the day of the game. Such public games are therefore more of a challenge to set up, and, more diverse and serendipitous than the organised private corporate/company games. People come often not knowing what they are getting into. It does require a certain level of trust to step over the line of curiosity and discovery to try the game. We are also discovering that previous players are coming back for a new experience and we notice that not one game experience is the same as the other therefore making each time one joins a unique occasion. Whether you are an individual seeking personal growth/self-knowledge or a team manager/leader seeking improved team bonding and improved communication and leadership in your company, the Samurai Game® is powerfully effective to reach those goals. At the core of this fun game are some serious principles of Jungian psychology which build a foundation to provide the potential for a transformational process to the individual and/or team. The Samurai Game® is considered by many to be the most unique, intense and challenging leadership and team-building experiential simulation available anywhere. Tens of thousands of individuals from around the world have participated in it, through organisational and corporate trainings & retreats, university and school leadership courses, and personal development programs. The game was invented, written, and first performed in 1977 by George Leonard, author, award-winning editor, musician, Aikido instructor and pioneer in the Human Potential movement.\* Throughout the game you will have a chance to discover your inner samurai and polish your leadership skills. You will learn to apply the the code of bushido as a way of navigating through the game to gain awareness of personal behaviour and responses to stress and confrontation. By participating in this unique event you will become a one-time only group that shall never exist in the same way again, just like an appearance of a unique shooting star that can never again be captured in the history of human experience. Even if you’ve been to a Samurai Game® event before, you are guaranteed to never have the same experience twice. **Date and time:** Friday, 22.11.2024, 10:00 – 18:00 **Location:** Tribes Amsterdam South Axis SOM, Claude Debussylaan 7-29, 1082 MC Amsterdam **Group size:** Maximum of 25 participants **Requirements:** No specific level of physical fitness and no background in martial arts required. ![](https://lamatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/LaMatu-Monika-Matuszewska-Coach-Amsterdam-Samurai-Game6.jpg) **Registration and ticket price** Regular ticket price: €97 p.p.

Lawrence is the first officially certified Samurai Game® facilitator in the Netherlands and has been offering public and corporate Samurai Game® workshops since March 2013. Since then, Lawrence has built a vast knowledge of what is required to get the maximum learning out of the game, having delivered as many as 50 such events at different locations around the world. Lawrence also has a lengthy background in martial arts (namely, the Japanese martial art of Aikido in which he is currently a 5th dan instructor in The Netherlands). This experience gives useful insights into the role of the ancient Japanese samurai warrior’s character. Having witnessed the powerful and impactful changes the Samurai Game® has brought to so many peoples’ lives in games he delivered in The Netherlands, Bulgaria and Switzerland, Lawrence is ready and willing to deliver his facilitation service to your company or organisation. Each event is organised with the highest safety standards taken into consideration. Although the games involve one-on-one challenges between individuals of two teams, the challenges never require to push over the physical/mental limits and people of all fitness levels may join. The games require the minimum of equipment and the maximum of your inner resource of courage and strength to face up to the challenges. The challenges are designed to prompt people to (amongst other things): reflect on how they respond to stress; face the dilemma between (and develop the art of balancing) honour for the team and honour for the self; pay attention and be in the present moment. ***“As a 5th dan Aikido instructor, I’ve had a lengthy background in martial arts before meeting Lance Giroux, a worldwide Samurai Game® facilitator coordinator, in 2009. When Lance visited the Netherlands the following year and told me about his work, I became enthused and knew this was where my path is taking me. Without hesitation, I signed up for facilitator training and, after a three-year programme of training and experiencing the game at different worldwide events, I stood up and facilitated my first workshop in March 2013. Since then I’ve run multiple workshops, each one very different to the other, and leaving profound impressions on me and the participants. There is so much potential for the Samurai Game® to have a positive impact on our society today. I’m looking forward to meet new groups of people and guide them in The Samurai Game® for many years to come!”*** **– Lawrence Warry** ***“The Samurai Game was a powerful and deeply engaging leadership training experience. It is far more than a teambuilding exercise; it is an intense experiential simulation that invites participants to observe how they respond under pressure, how they make decisions, and how they show up in moments of stress, uncertainty and confrontation.*** ***What made the experience particularly valuable was the quality of the facilitation. Lawrence Warry is clearly a highly experienced facilitator with a strong background in leadership development, martial arts and the deeper philosophy behind The Samurai Game. He held the space with confidence, clarity and presence, allowing the group to fully immerse itself in the process while also creating room for reflection and learning.*** ***I would recommend this experience to anyone interested in leadership, personal development, team dynamics and gaining a deeper awareness of their own decision-making mechanisms and behavioural patterns.”*** **— Monika Matuszewska** --- \* THE SAMURAI GAME® was created by George Leonard and may only be delivered by facilitators trained and certified by The Leonard Family Trust. © 1977 George Leonard.

But in reality, they serve different—yet equally important—roles. A manager focuses on the how and the when: building systems, managing budgets, and making sure day-to-day work runs smoothly. Without this structure, things can quickly become chaotic. A leader, on the other hand, focuses on direction. It’s about the why and the where: where we’re going, who we bring along, and whether we have the right people around us. Leadership is about vision, purpose, and the “why”. Both roles matter—and often, we’re expected to do a bit of both. So let’s explore what this looks like in practice—the how, when, and who of being a manager, a leader, or both. During the breakroom group sessions, we’ll discuss questions related to management and leadership: 1. 1. ⚪️ In your experience, what distinguishes a manager from a leader? 2. ⚪️ Do you see yourself more as a manager, a leader, or both—and what examples from your experience support that? 3. ⚪️ What skills, mindsets, and behaviors are essential for effective leadership—and how can we develop them in our daily work? --- ###### **Topics from Previous Editions** - ⚪️ How to build emotional resilience - ⚪️ How to become more empathetic - ⚪️ How to work in an international team - ⚪️ How to build a LinkedIn profile that is aligned with you are - ⚪️ How to turn your passion and skills into career and business opportunities - ⚪️ How to choose between becoming an entrepreneur and a corporate professional - ⚪️ How to find the right mentor - ⚪️ How can personal branding help your career - ⚪️ How to navigate current job market in the Netherlands - ⚪️ How to overcome culture shock after when moving the Netherlands - ⚪️ How to be a true leader and not just a manager - ⚪️ Job market insights in the Netherlands --- ###### **💼 For Whom?** This session is designed for: - ⚪️ Students entering the global job market - ⚪️ Professionals working in multicultural organisations in the Netherlands - ⚪️ Entrepreneurs and startup founders building international teams - ⚪️ Both locals and expats who are open-minded and have an international mindset --- ###### **Why Join This Event?** Previous attendees come for: - **⚪️ 91%** – Networking opportunities - **⚪️ 75%** – The international community vibe - **⚪️ 46%** – Gaining more knowledge about the topic - **⚪️ 42%** – Career opportunities --- ###### **Event Registration** This is a ticketed event.

It's about looking at your life and the kinds of experiences you create, seeing how you react to them and how you can use these insights for your own growth. **Content:** ###### **ABOUT THE TRANSFORMATION GAME WORKSHOP** The Transformation Game helps you gain deep insights and transform the way you play your life. It’s about looking at your life and the kinds of experiences you create, seeing how you react to them and how you can use these insights for your own growth. Participants often describe their experience as heartwarming and uplifting. The process leaves them with a new sense of clarity and a deep, inner resolve which helps them face their worldly dilemmas. The Transformation Game is a playful yet profound self-knowledge tool designed to support personal growth. Played around a board, it offers a unique experiential journey where life scenarios unfold in a way that often synchronically reflects meaningful aspects of each participant’s inner and outer world. It is a beautifully multi-layered and multi-dimensional experience—both inspiring and insightful. Within a group setting characterised by aligned energy and openness, powerful intentions begin to unfold. Through play, reflection, and interaction, transformation naturally emerges. This special game combines elements of psychology, the structure of a board game, and continuous feedback. It is played with real-life personal goals and situations in mind, making the experience deeply relevant and grounded. Guided by an experienced facilitator, the process resembles a group coaching session, creating space for both individual insight and collective learning. Participants gain valuable clarity and move closer to their personal objectives, while also discovering new ways to navigate challenges and setbacks. The game can be seen as a miniature model of life—it begins symbolically at birth and progresses through physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions. At its core, the Transformation Game is an interactive group experience that is at once playfully engaging and deeply meaningful—offering both lightness and depth, structure and intuition, reflection and action. ###### **RULES OF THE GAME** This board game is played in English between 4-7 players in a joyful and collaborative way. It is held at a location of a coaching practice and facilitated by a certified professional coach. In the beginning every player sets a specific intention to create change in some area of their lives. The intention is shared with other players, who then, together with the facilitator, support each other in reaching their objective. ###### **A PURPOSEFUL SATURDAY AFTERNOON** - – A joyful day of play from 11:11 until 18:18 - – A small group of 4-7 participants - – A unique, deeply transformational experience - – A beautiful, serene setting of LaMatu coaching practice - – Full support of a professional coach throughout the game ###### **TIMING** The game unfolds according to its own wisdom and may take anything between 4 to 7 hours. It is best to set some quiet time for yourself in the evening and not to plan other social engagements in the evening directly after the game. This will allow you the space to fully relax and enjoy the experience. ###### **WORKSHOP VENUE** LaMatu Coaching Practice is located in the VERTICAL building right opposite the NS Station Amsterdam Sloterdijk, West of Westerpark.

Yet Gartner found that less than 1% were actually driven by AI productivity gains. Many companies are restructuring based on anticipated returns, not proven ones. For women building careers, leading teams, freelancing, or running businesses, this creates a different kind of tension: “You’re not being replaced, but you’re not fully secure either.” So what does job security mean in a market driven by expectation, instead of performance? And how do you strengthen your earning power, not just your workload? ​For many women, whether professionals, founders, or navigating transitions, this raises important questions: ​How do you stay relevant, resilient, and in control of how you earn? How do you redesign work on your terms instead of just reacting to change? Financial fitness isn’t only about saving or investing wisely. It’s about staying positioned to earn, pivot, and design work on your terms. On 15th of March 2026, we’re hosting a hybrid conversation (Amsterdam + Zoom) on the future of work—and how women can think more strategically about protecting, growing, and/or diversifying their income.AI is reshaping careers and businesses.

Each year the Global Mentoring Walks convenes established women leaders to mentor emerging women leaders as they walk together in their communities. The Society of Polish Professional Women in the Netherlands has been organising the Global Mentoring Walk in Amsterdam since 2017 and with each subsequent edition the number of the participants grew significantly. The women participating in the walk & talk event are different, but they are guided by a shared belief: power expands the moment it is shared. Through their efforts, thousands of women and girls came together across cultures, generations, religions, countries and identities to bring this message to life. Their collective commitment to this principle has enabled thousands of participants to come together, bridging gaps and building bonds. The impact of these connections is profound, sparking personal and professional growth, fostering understanding, and amplifying the collective voice of women. Together, we can continue to amplify the message that when power is shared, the entire world benefits. **AGENDA** 11:30 – 12:00 – registration, welcome coffee, meet & greet 12:00 – 12:15 – welcome & introducing the organisers and speakers 12:15 – 13:30 – presentations by a guest speakers 13:30 – 14:30 – group picture 14:30 – 15:30 – individual walk & talk mentoring session around the lake of Amsterdamse Bos 15:30 – 17:30 – networking drinks Opening session, presentations and training sessions will be held in a group setting, same as the closing session and networking drinks.

An initiative with a mission to empower women of Polish descent by providing support, training, and tools to elevate careers, build network and grow as professionals. What unites its members, apart from the country of origin and a place of residence, is passion, curiosity about the world and a positive mindset. Change of career and moving countries creates ample opportunities for personal and professional development. Seeking out new challenges such as an expat assignment or starting a new company abroad makes it possible to gain new experiences and skills. Supporting the ambition to grow and develop, the society provides with tailor-made training and workshops, as well as networking events for business women. The society supports women of Polish descent with training and tools to advance their careers, build their networks and grow as professionals. It frequently organises events including themed breakfasts, workshops and entrepreneurs’ evenings in Amsterdam. Polish Professional Women in the Netherlands operates in Amsterdam as a members-only society. Both the organisers and the attendees of the events are women of Polish descent currently living in the Netherlands. Our members are representatives of various industries that have a successful business career abroad. The members of the society are professionally active as executives in international companies, entrepreneurs successfully running their own business or academics conducting scientific research. The majority of Polish Professional Women hold university degrees and are respected as specialists in their respective fields of expertise. The organisation’s registered members have a wide range of personal contacts and an established business network. **Vital Voices** Vital Voices is an organization founded in 1997 by Hillary Clinton and Madeleine Albright with a desire to support other women’s “global voice” professionally, legally and politically. Vital Voices works with leaders in human rights, economic opportunity, political and public leadership and leadership development. Serving as a “venture catalyst,” Vital Voices identifies leaders with a daring vision for change and partners with them to make that vision a reality. It provides connections, increased capacity, a peer network, financial support, skills training, and increased visibility for their work, which ranges from gender-based violence and climate justice to economic inequities and political disempowerment, and more. Now celebrating 25 years since its founding, Vital Voices Global Partnership has directly invested in more than 20,000 change-makers across 184 countries and territories since its inception in 1997. Driven by the universal truth that women are the key to progress in their communities and nations cannot move forward without women in leadership positions, Vital Voices has provided early support for leaders who went on to become Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, U.S. Youth Poet Laureates, Prime Ministers, award-winning innovators, pioneering human rights defenders, and breakthrough social entrepreneurs. Vital Voices invests in leaders because they take on the responsibility to improve their communities, their countries, and their societies. By exhibiting visionary thinking and taking risks to innovate, they strengthen laws, create jobs, change cultures and defend freedoms, making change that ripples out into the global community. The organisation partners with women who practice leadership that unites and inspires people. Each leader in their global network believes in mentoring the rising generation and shares her knowledge, experience, and influence with others. Its investment in one leader has an impact on thousands more. Vital Voices know that one intervention is not enough to support women leaders who are on the frontlines of change in their communities. Making long-term investments in the women leaders who have the vision and commitment to make a lasting change means offering continued support. The organisation works with women leaders over many years, providing them with the technical skills, visibility and partnerships they need to continue to push for progress. **REGISTRATION** This is a members-only event intended for the members of the Polish Professional Women in the Netherlands Society.

This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It's about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. **Content:** **💎 Special LaMatu Anniversary Edition of the Cashflow Game in Amsterdam at LaMatu 💎** Join the special anniversary edition of the cashflow game workshop at LaMatu in Amsterdam. Instead, get ready for a fun afternoon of celebration and experiential learning! The Cashflow Game helps you raise your financial IQ. This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It’s about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. This board game is played between 4-7 players in a fun way, with a healthy dose of competitive spirit. The event is held in Amsterdam and facilitated by a certified professional coach. **💎 THE RULES OF THE GAME** The creators of the board game designed it as a fun, interactive tool to raise your financial IQ. The game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way, Robert Kiyosaki’s recipe to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. Robert Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, first published over 25 years ago, has been a #1 bestseller worldwide in the category of personal finances. His formula is simple: have more cash flowing in every month from our investments than was flowing out in living expenses. During the game you master the ability to acquire cash-generating assets that put money into your pocket while eliminating the liabilities that keep draining your wallet. The cashflow game helps you gain understanding of the differences between the three types of income: earned, portfolio, and passive. Money you make working at a job or owning a small business is called earned income. Earned income, while being the most common ways of earning, is only one of possible income streams. Another way is portfolio income, which is how stock traders traditionally make their money by buying and selling stocks. According to Robert Kiyosaki, the creator of the game, while you can make a lot of money with trading stocks, it’s not how the rich become truly wealthy. It is thanks to the passive income, or cashflow, that the players of the Cashflow Game can become financially free and enjoy a life free from financial struggles. According to the design of the game earning sufficient passive income is the trick that allows the players to exit the miserably tedious Rat Race and then swoosh through the Fast Track. --- ***As Rich Dad said, “Money may not be the most important thing in life, but it affects everything that is.” Our intent is through the Rich Dad teachings that the most important things in your life never suffer because of a lack of money, but instead thrive and prosper.*** **― Robert Kiyosaki** --- **💎 WHAT ARE THE GAINS?** - 🎲 Elevate your financial well-being - 🎲 Accelerate your financial education and raise your financial IQ - 🎲 Simulate different scenarios in a zero-risk environment - 🎲 Discover what financial habits are keeping you stuck in the Rat Race - 🎲 Change your spending habits and limit money-sucking liabilities - 🎲 Understand how to turn the income from your job into passive income - 🎲 Practice and master the ability to acquire cash-flowing assets - 🎲 Adopt a new mindset that can help you reach your financial goals **💎 A SATURDAY AFTERNOON WELL SPENT** - 🎲 A unique, fun and educational experience - 🎲 A joyful day of play from 11:11 until 18:18 - 🎲 A small group of 4-7 participants - 🎲 A unique, fun and educational experience - 🎲 Held at the LaMatu coaching practice in Amsterdam - 🎲 Full support of a professional coach throughout the game **💎 TIMING** Time is money.

Enter the Year of the Fire Horse with clarity. **Content:** **✨✨✨ ENTERING THE YEAR OF THE FIRE HORSE WITH A CLEAR VISION ✨✨✨** As we move into the Chinese New Year, this moment offers a valuable opportunity to pause and intentionally reconnect with direction and purpose. Rather than letting this transition pass unnoticed, join a dedicated in-person session at LaMatu to support conscious reflection, intentional alignment, and forward planning. LaMatu is hosting a small gathering to do some year-end closing as well as intention setting rituals. This workshop is designed to help you intentionally close the previous phase and clarify your goals for the coming year. This workshop, organised by LaMatu in Amsterdam, is designed to help you intentionally close the previous year, and set meaningful goals and intentions for the coming year. The session combines structured reflection with practical exercises, including a year-review, intention setting, guided journaling, small-group dialogue, and visual mapping by means of creating personal visualisation boards. By the end of the workshop, you will leave with renewed clarity, and your personal vision board to guide their focus throughout the coming year — grounded, intentional, and ready to start the new year with positive momentum. Overall, 2026 represents a decisive shift from intention to execution. It is a year that invites movement — from ideas to structure, from reflection to action, and from aspiration to manifestation. This transition period calls for conscious attention. After a year of shedding layers it’s time to reemerge with clarity and move towards the next chapter with great momentum. Preparing for a periods of strong momentum requires discernment. Energy without direction can lead to fragmentation or exhaustion. This makes conscious decisions, inner clarity and alignment essential. Setting clear intentions, choosing focus deliberately will be key to sustaining progress throughout the year. This workshop was created to support that process: helping participants clarify what kind of life they want to design and create in the coming year, and intentionally plant the seeds of everything that you want to manifest in coming year. **✨ YEAR-END CLOSING** Before looking ahead, you will be invited to consciously and intentionally close the year that is coming to an end. This part of the workshop focuses on a guided year-review through self-journaling exercises designed to help you integrate experiences, acknowledge growth, and gently let go of what no longer serves you. Through carefully curated reflection prompts, you will review the past year with compassion and perspective — recognising milestones, lessons learned, challenges navigated, and moments of pride. Rather than analysing or judging, this process emphasises appreciation, meaning-making, and inner completion. The exercises are structured yet spacious, allowing you to work at your own pace in silence, supported by a calm and contained environment. This reflective pause helps create emotional and mental closure, so you do not carry unfinished narratives into the new year. Many participants experience this year-end review as grounding, uplifting, and unexpectedly empowering. By consciously acknowledging what has been, you create space for clarity, gratitude, and renewed energy — laying a strong foundation for intention setting and forward momentum. This reflective closing ritual ensures that the transition into the new year is not rushed, but honoured — allowing you to step forward feeling aligned, and ready for what is next. **✨ INTENTION SETTING RITUAL** You will be guided to define some positive intentions for the year ahead. You will write these intentions on a piece of wax paper, which can be folded and carefully lit like a candle. This beautiful ritual marks the start of a new year, a transition grounded in intentional choice. You will bring positive, clearly articulated intentions into the New Year, before it kicks in with its forward motion. **✨ VISION BOARD CREATION** You will create a physical visualisation board using magazines, images, words, glue, and scissors. This mindful process will help you translate your goals and intentions into visible direction, connecting dreams and ideas in a tangible way. Each participant will create their dream collage landscape. This hands-on, mindfulness activity invites you to reconnect with your creativity, slow down and work with attention and presence, turning the exercise into a form of applied mindfulness. By selecting images and words intuitively as well as deliberately, you may notice patterns, themes, or desires emerging that reflect what your subconscious is drawn to. Bringing these elements to the surface and creating a vision board allows you to visualise what truly matters to you — often beyond what is easy to articulate in words. The finished moodboard will serve as a visual anchor for the year ahead: a tangible reference that supports focus, clarity, and aligned decision-making long after the workshop has ended. You will leave the workshop with a personal visual reference that supports your intentions for the year ahead. **🕚 TIMING** The event starts at 11:11 with a lunch break and will take up to 7 hours. It is best to set some quiet time for yourself in the evening and not to plan other social engagements in the evening directly after the event. This will allow you the space to fully relax and enjoy the experience. **📍 WORKSHOP VENUE** LaMatu Coaching Practice is located in the VERTICAL building right opposite the NS Station Amsterdam Sloterdijk, West of Westerpark.

With more than 40 nationalities represented across past editions, it has become one of Amsterdam’s most dynamic platforms for international talent development.

At the same time, corporate careers offer stability, structure, and growth opportunities that many early-stage entrepreneurs struggle to access. Both paths can be deeply fulfilling—yet each comes with its own mindset, challenges, and rewards. Entrepreneurs navigate uncertainty but gain ownership, autonomy, and endless space for creativity. Corporate professionals benefit from mentorship, clear progression ladders, and organisational support, but may sometimes feel constrained by hierarchy or limited decision-making freedom. So how do you decide which direction truly aligns with your personality, values, and long-term vision? During this special 20th edition of ITFF, this Table Topic invites participants to explore the question: To Be an Entrepreneur or a Corporate Professional? ##### **1. Who are you at your core?** - ⚪️ What kind of environment helps you thrive: a fast-moving, unpredictable setting or a structured, stable organisation? - ⚪️ What motivates you most—freedom, impact, creativity, security, or progression? - ⚪️ Do you see yourself building something from 0 to 1—developing ideas, creating products, or shaping teams? Or do you prefer contributing to a well-established structure with clear roles and responsibilities? ###### **2. What have your past experiences taught you?** - ⚪️ Have you tried entrepreneurship or worked in a corporate role? What did those experiences reveal about your strengths, preferences, or boundaries? - ⚪️ If you’ve only explored one side so far, what questions or assumptions do you have about the other? ###### **3. Which direction are you leaning toward—and why?** - ⚪️ What path speaks to you at this moment in your life? - ⚪️ What challenges do you anticipate on that journey—and how can you prepare yourself to navigate them with confidence? ###### **💼 For Whom?** This session is designed for: - ⚪️ Students preparing to transition into the workforce - ⚪️ Young professionals seeking direction, clarity, or support in their next career steps - ⚪️ Entrepreneurs looking for guidance from experienced founders or industry experts - ⚪️ Anyone interested in building purposeful, long-term professional relationships --- ###### **Why Join This Festival?** Previous attendees come for: - **⚪️ 91%** – Networking opportunities - **⚪️ 75%** – The international community vibe - **⚪️ 46%** – Gaining more knowledge about the topic - **⚪️ 42%** – Career opportunities --- ##### **About Monika Matuszewska** Monika is an Amsterdam-based career and leadership coach specialising in supporting international professionals working across borders.

This keynote is addressed to modern digital marketeers and addresses the struggles of their professional and private lives fraught withe the constant fight for attention. Modern technology brought us many blessings, but it is also fraught with some risks. As we become more dependent on the use of our devices, we find that dealing with distractions such as notifications, maintaining our focus and concentration is becoming increasingly hard. Our attention spans and the ability to think deeply and maintain focus became victims of the battle for our attention waged by the tech companies and advertising giants. This session will touch upon current trends such as social media detox and dopamine fasting and examine the possible impact on our mental health. We will explore the mechanism of addictions in the context of modern news and social media and learn to take a step back and re-evaluate which of the messages that we focus on are merely distractions. **Key questions:** · Why is paying attention so hard? · Which human needs do modern media fulfil? · Why are modern media addictive? **Are you:** · sometimes finding yourself mindlessly scrolling on your device? · experiencing feeling drained, tired & wired at the end of the day? · having difficulty finishing a task of focus for a long time because of distractions? **Would you like to:** · discover new ways to find a healthy way of coping with distractions? · find inspiration on how to break out of the negative spiral and make a positive change in your daily life instead? · meet new people and exchange ideas? **VENUE** Johan Cruijff ArenA Stadium Plein van de Toekomst, Level 4 Johan Cruijff Boulevard 1 1100 DL Amsterdam The Netherlands **ABOUT DIGIMARCON EVENTS** The DigiMarCon Global Event Series stands as the annual convergence point for Top Brands, Agencies, Publishers, and Technology Providers right in the heart of the digital marketing, media, and advertising industry.

This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It's about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. **Content:** **CASHFLOW GAME WORKSHOP AT LAMATU IN AMSTERDAM** The Cashflow Game helps you raise your financial IQ. This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It’s about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. This board game is played between 4-7 players in a fun way, with a healthy dose of competitive spirit. The event is held in Amsterdam and facilitated by a certified professional coach. **THE RULES OF THE GAME** The creators of the board game designed it as a fun, interactive tool to raise your financial IQ. The game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way, Robert Kiyosaki’s recipe to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. Robert Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, first published over 25 years ago, has been a #1 bestseller worldwide in the category of personal finances. His formula is simple: have more cash flowing in every month from our investments than was flowing out in living expenses. During the game you master the ability to acquire cash-generating assets that put money into your pocket while eliminating the liabilities that keep draining your wallet. The cashflow game helps you gain understanding of the differences between the three types of income: earned, portfolio, and passive. Money you make working at a job or owning a small business is called earned income. Earned income, while being the most common ways of earning, is only one of possible income streams. Another way is portfolio income, which is how stock traders traditionally make their money by buying and selling stocks. According to Robert Kiyosaki, the creator of the game, while you can make a lot of money with trading stocks, it’s not how the rich become truly wealthy. It is thanks to the passive income, or cashflow, that the players of the Cashflow Game can become financially free and enjoy a life free from financial struggles. According to the design of the game earning sufficient passive income is the trick that allows the players to exit the miserably tedious Rat Race and then swoosh through the Fast Track. **WHAT ARE THE GAINS?** - 🎲 Elevate your financial well-being - 🎲 Accelerate your financial education and raise your financial IQ - 🎲 Simulate different scenarios in a zero-risk environment - 🎲 Discover what financial habits are keeping you stuck in the Rat Race - 🎲 Change your spending habits and limit money-sucking liabilities - 🎲 Understand how to turn the income from your job into passive income - 🎲 Practice and master the ability to acquire cash-flowing assets - 🎲 Adopt a new mindset that can help you reach your financial goals **A SATURDAY AFTERNOON WELL SPENT** - 🎲 A unique, fun and educational experience - 🎲 A joyful day of play from 11:11 until 18:18 - 🎲 A small group of 4-7 participants - 🎲 A unique, fun and educational experience - 🎲 Held at the LaMatu coaching practice in Amsterdam - 🎲 Full support of a professional coach throughout the game **TIMING** Time is money. While the game may take anything between 4 to 7 hours, consider the time spent playing accelerated learning as you will get to simulate a whole life in a matter of hours. It is best to set some quiet time for yourself in the evening and not to plan other social engagements in the evening directly after the game. This will allow you the space to be fully immersed in the experience and get the most of your time investment. **LANGUAGE** This workshop will be conducted in English.

Join us for a powerful session to sharpen your clarity and confidence.** As part of the *Deep Conversation Live* series, this interactive workshop invites you to pause, reflect, and engage in meaningful dialogue. Guided by a special guest speaker, Monika Matuszewska, coach and founder of LaMatu, you’ll explore practical frameworks and real-life applications of decision making—whether the choice is life-changing or seemingly small. Every day, we are faced with decisions—some small and fleeting, others life-defining. From choosing what to eat for breakfast to deciding where to live, who to trust, or whether to change careers, our lives are shaped by the choices we make. Decision making is the invisible architecture of our lives. It determines the direction we take, the people we surround ourselves with, and the opportunities we pursue—or miss. Yet, most of us were never taught *how* to make decisions. We rely on intuition, impulse, or advice from others—often without clarity or structure. Research in behavioural economics shows that our decisions are rarely as rational as we believe. We’re influenced by biases, fears, habits, and emotions. We avoid risk, stick with the familiar, and hesitate in the face of uncertainty. Understanding these hidden forces is the first step towards becoming a more conscious, confident decision-maker. This session invites you to explore your current choices through a fresh lens. You’ll discover tools to untangle overthinking, frameworks to guide complex decisions, and powerful metaphors—like the *roundabout*—to help you know when it’s time to choose and move on. Whether you’re standing at a crossroad or caught in a loop, you’re in the right place. Let’s make space for clarity, courage, and action. **A special edition organised by Life Questions Academy Amsterdam with special guest Monika Matuszewska, certified coach and founder of LaMatu.** Hosted by Life Questions Academy in Amsterdam, this session continues the mission to spark critical thinking and nurture emotional intelligence through open, honest dialogue.

This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It's about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. **Content:** ###### **Cashflow Game Workshop at LaMatu** The Cashflow Game helps you raise your financial IQ. This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It’s about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. This board game is played between 4-7 players in a fun way, with a healthy dose of competitive spirit. The event is held at a location of a coaching practice in the centre of Amsterdam and facilitated by a certified professional coach. Robert Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, first published over 25 years ago, has been a #1 bestseller worldwide in the category of personal finances. ***As Rich Dad said, “Money may not be the most important thing in life, but it affects everything that is. Our intent is through the Rich Dad teachings that the most important things in your life never suffer because of a lack of money, but instead thrive and prosper.”*** **― Robert Kiyosaki** ###### **The Rules of the Game** The creators of the board game designed it as a fun, interactive tool to raise your financial IQ. The game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way, Robert Kiyosaki’s recipe to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. His formula is simple: have more cash flowing in every month from our investments than was flowing out in living expenses. During the game you master the ability to acquire cash-generating assets that put money into your pocket while eliminating the liabilities that keep draining your wallet. The cashflow game helps you gain understanding of the differences between the three types of income: earned, portfolio, and passive. Money you make working at a job or owning a small business is called earned income. Earned income, while being the most common ways of earning, is only one of possible income streams. Another way is portfolio income, which is how stock traders traditionally make their money by buying and selling stocks. According to Robert Kiyosaki, the creator of the game, while you can make a lot of money with trading stocks, it’s not how the rich become truly wealthy. It is thanks to the passive income, or cashflow, that the players of the Cashflow Game can become financially free and enjoy a life free from financial struggles. According to the design of the game earning sufficient passive income is the trick that allows the players to exit the miserably tedious Rat Race and then swoosh through the Fast Track. ###### **What Are the Gains?** - 🎲 Elevate your financial well-being - 🎲 Accelerate your financial education and raise your financial IQ - 🎲 Simulate different scenarios in a zero-risk environment - 🎲 Discover what financial habits are keeping you stuck in the Rat Race - 🎲 Change your spending habits and limit money-sucking liabilities - 🎲 Understand how to turn the income from your job into positive passive income - 🎲 Practice and master the ability to acquire cash-flowing assets - 🎲 Adopt a new mindset that can help you reach your financial goals ###### **A Saturday Afternoon Well Spent** - 🎲 A unique, fun and educational experience - 🎲 A joyful day of play from 11:11 until 18:18 - 🎲 A small group of 4-7 participants - 🎲 A unique, fun and educational experience - 🎲 Held at the LaMatu coaching practice in the centre of Amsterdam - 🎲 Full support of a professional coach throughout the game ###### **Timing** Time is money. While the game may take anything between 4 to 7 hours, consider the time spent playing accelerated learning as you will get to simulate a whole life in a matter of hours. It is best to set some quiet time for yourself in the evening and not to plan other social engagements in the evening directly after the game. This will allow you the space to be fully immersed in the experience and get the most of your time investment. ###### **Language** This workshop will be conducted in English.

Tens of thousands of individuals from around the world have participated in it, through organisational and corporate trainings & retreats, university and school leadership courses, and personal development programs. The game was invented, written, and first performed in 1977 by George Leonard, author, award-winning editor, musician, Aikido instructor and pioneer in the Human Potential movement. **Content:** **About The Samurai Game** A Samurai Game® one day event, open to the public, will take place in Amsterdam Zuidas on Friday, 19th of September 2025, delivered by certified Samurai Game® facilitator, Lawrence Warry. Calling for enthusiastic people, wishing to develop their leadership and team-participation skills, of varying backgrounds and interests, you are welcome to participate in this event. Participants of all walks of life come to these public games and one never really knows how many people will turn up and what kind of group will materialise on the day of the game. Such public games are therefore more of a challenge to set up, and, more diverse and serendipitous than the organised private corporate/company games. People come often not knowing what they are getting into. It does require a certain level of trust to step over the line of curiosity and discovery to try the game. We are also discovering that previous players are coming back for a new experience and we notice that not one game experience is the same as the other therefore making each time one joins a unique occasion. Whether you are an individual seeking personal growth/self-knowledge or a team manager/leader seeking improved team bonding and improved communication and leadership in your company, the Samurai Game® is powerfully effective to reach those goals. At the core of this fun game are some serious principles of Jungian psychology which build a foundation to provide the potential for a transformational process to the individual and/or team.

This event is perfect for anyone looking to grow in the areas of leadership development and training.

Lawrence is the first officially certified Samurai Game® facilitator in the Netherlands and has been offering public and corporate Samurai Game® workshops since March 2013. Since then, Lawrence has built a vast knowledge of what is required to get the maximum learning out of the game, having delivered as many as 50 such events at different locations around the world. Lawrence also has a lengthy background in martial arts (namely, the Japanese martial art of Aikido in which he is currently a 5th dan instructor in The Netherlands). This experience gives useful insights into the role of the ancient Japanese samurai warrior’s character. Having witnessed the powerful and impactful changes the Samurai Game® has brought to so many peoples’ lives in games he delivered in The Netherlands, Bulgaria and Switzerland, Lawrence is ready and willing to deliver his facilitation service to your company or organisation. Each event is organised with the highest safety standards taken into consideration. Although the games involve one-on-one challenges between individuals of two teams, the challenges never require to push over the physical/mental limits and people of all fitness levels may join. The games require the minimum of equipment and the maximum of your inner resource of courage and strength to face up to the challenges. The challenges are designed to prompt people to (amongst other things): reflect on how they respond to stress; face the dilemma between (and develop the art of balancing) honour for the team and honour for the self; pay attention and be in the present moment. *“As a 5th dan Aikido instructor, I’ve had a lengthy background in martial arts before meeting Lance Giroux, a worldwide Samurai Game® facilitator coordinator, in 2009. When Lance visited the Netherlands the following year and told me about his work, I became enthused and knew this was where my path is taking me. Without hesitation, I signed up for facilitator training and, after a three-year programme of training and experiencing the game at different worldwide events, I stood up and facilitated my first workshop in March 2013. Since then I’ve run multiple workshops, each one very different to the other, and leaving profound impressions on me and the participants. There is so much potential for the Samurai Game® to have a positive impact on our society today. I’m looking forward to meet new groups of people and guide them in The Samurai Game® for many years to come!”* – Lawrence Warry \* THE SAMURAI GAME® was created by George Leonard and may only be delivered by facilitators trained and certified by The Leonard Family Trust. © 1977 George Leonard.

She attended New York University, where she studied political science by day and worked on her short stories by night. After college, she spent several years traveling around the country, working in bars, diners and ranches, collecting experiences to transform into fiction. These explorations eventually formed the basis of her first book – a short story collection called “Pilgrims”, which was a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway award, and which moved Annie Proulx to call her “a young writer of incandescent talent”. During these early years in New York, she also worked as a journalist for such publications as Spin, GQ and The New York Times Magazine. She was a three-time finalist for The National Magazine Award, and an article she wrote in GQ about her experiences bartending on the Lower East Side eventually became the basis for the movie “Coyote Ugly”. In 2000, Elizabeth published her first novel, “Stern Men”, a story of brutal territory wars between two remote fishing islands off the coast of Maine, which was a New York Times Notable Book. Two years later she published “The last American Man” – the true story of the modern day woodsman Eustace Conway. This book, her first work of non-fiction, was a finalist for both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award. Elizabeth is best known, however for her 2006 memoir “Eat Pray Love”, which chronicled her journey alone around the world, looking for solace after a difficult divorce. The book was an international bestseller, translated into over thirty languages, with over 12 million copies sold worldwide. In 2010, “Eat Pray Love” was made into a film starring Julia Roberts. The book became so popular that Time Magazine named Elizabeth as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. In 2010, Elizabeth published a follow-up to “Eat Pray Love” called “Committed”—a memoir which explored her ambivalent feelings about the institution of marriage. The book immediately became a #1 New York Times Bestseller, and was also received with warm critical praise. As Newsweek wrote, “Committed” “retains plenty of Gilbert’s comic ruefulness and wide-eyed wonder”, and NPR called the book “a rich brew of newfound insight and wisdom.” Her 2013 novel “The Signature of All Things” is a sprawling tale of 19th century botanical exploration. O Magazine named it “the novel of a lifetime”, and the Wall Street Journal called it “the most ambitious and purely-imagined work of (Gilbert’s) twenty-year career.” “The Signature of All Things” was a New York Times Bestseller, and Janet Maslin called it “engrossing… vibrant and hot-blooded.” The novel was named a Best Book of 2013 by The New York Times, O Magazine, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, and The New Yorker.” In 2015, she published “Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear”—a book that encapsulates the joyful spirit of adventure and permission that Elizabeth has always brought to her work and to her life. Her latest novel is “City of Girls” — a rollicking, sexy tale of the New York City theater world during the 1940s was published in June of 2019. Elizabeth divides her time between New York City, rural New Jersey, and everywhere else. **ABOUT THE EVENT VENUE** Het Concertgebouw is a world-renowned concert hall in the cultural heart of Amsterdam.

StartDock locations are a co-working and office spaces designed mostly home to budding entrepreneurs, freelancers and small startups. Togetherness is high and a lot of knowledge is shared, both informally and through organised events. StartDock has two offices located right at the Amsterdam canal belt, both in characteristic townhouses located on the Herengracht and Keizersgracht, just a two-minute stroll from each other. Both locations are just steps away from Koningsplein, right up to the Leidsestraat, just around the corner from Leidseplein. Easy to reach with public transportation and, of course, by bike. Right in the midst of the Amsterdam’s hustle and bustle, inside the buildings’ brick walls, there is a tranquility that oozes hard work by the almost one hundred entrepreneurs that found their home at StartDock. The interior of both canal houses has been completely modernised, except for the modern floors, the quintessential Amsterdam stairs and the Golden Age meeting rooms, that make you feel like you stepped right into Dutch history. The Herengracht location used to be a traditional Dutch canal mansion and later a German bank. The large heavy safe in the basement gives away the true identity of the original occupants of this building. Where once lay piles of banknotes, diamonds and invaluable relics of ABN-AMRO customers, there is now a Chesterfield sofa and a soccer table. StartDock found a slightly different use for our spaces than originally intended, keeping the perky look and feel of the building, including a chandelier; and replaced the stuffy original population with colorful vibrant entrepreneurs. StartDock Coworking Herengracht Herengracht 420 1017 BZ Amsterdam The Netherlands The Keizersgracht office, with its canal views, is a truly luxurious and unique location. It’s just a small leap from the other location at the Herengracht. The garden, has the perfect positioning in relation to the sun, so when it peaks around the corner, you can always step outside for a quick break or even an outside meeting. This office will be the venue of the workshop.

This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It's about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. **Content:** **Cashflow Game Workshop at LaMatu in Amsterdam** The Cashflow Game helps you raise your financial IQ. This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It’s about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. This board game is played between 4-7 players in a fun way, with a healthy dose of competitive spirit. The event is held in Amsterdam and facilitated by a certified professional coach. Robert Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, first published over 25 years ago, has been a #1 bestseller worldwide in the category of personal finances. ***As Rich Dad said, “Money may not be the most important thing in life, but it affects everything that is.” Our intent is through the Rich Dad teachings that the most important things in your life never suffer because of a lack of money, but instead thrive and prosper.*** **– Robert Kiyosaki** **The Rules of the Game** The creators of the board game designed it as a fun, interactive tool to raise your financial IQ. The game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way, Robert Kiyosaki’s recipe to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. His formula is simple: have more cash flowing in every month from our investments than was flowing out in living expenses. During the game you master the ability to acquire cash-generating assets that put money into your pocket while eliminating the liabilities that keep draining your wallet. The cashflow game helps you gain understanding of the differences between the three types of income: earned, portfolio, and passive. Money you make working at a job or owning a small business is called earned income. Earned income, while being the most common ways of earning, is only one of possible income streams. Another way is portfolio income, which is how stock traders traditionally make their money by buying and selling stocks. According to Robert Kiyosaki, the creator of the game, while you can make a lot of money with trading stocks, it’s not how the rich become truly wealthy. It is thanks to the passive income, or cashflow, that the players of the Cashflow Game can become financially free and enjoy a life free from financial struggles. According to the design of the game earning sufficient passive income is the trick that allows the players to exit the miserably tedious Rat Race and then swoosh through the Fast Track. **What Are the Gains?** - 🎲 Elevate your financial well-being - 🎲 Accelerate your financial education and raise your financial IQ - 🎲 Simulate different scenarios in a zero-risk environment - 🎲 Discover what financial habits are keeping you stuck in the Rat Race - 🎲 Change your spending habits and limit money-sucking liabilities - 🎲 Understand how to turn the income from your job into passive income - 🎲 Practice and master the ability to acquire cash-flowing assets - 🎲 Adopt a new mindset that can help you reach your financial goals **A Saturday Afternoon Well Spent** - 🎲 A unique, fun and educational experience - 🎲 A joyful day of play from 11:11 until 18:18 - 🎲 A small group of 4-7 participants - 🎲 A unique, fun and educational experience - 🎲 Held at the LaMatu coaching practice in Amsterdam - 🎲 Full support of a professional coach throughout the game **Timing** Time is money. While the game may take anything between 4 to 7 hours, consider the time spent playing accelerated learning as you will get to simulate a whole life in a matter of hours. It is best to set some quiet time for yourself in the evening and not to plan other social engagements in the evening directly after the game. This will allow you the space to be fully immersed in the experience and get the most of your time investment. **Language** This workshop will be conducted in English.

I offer individual coaching services, including online consultations, face-to-face sessions, and group workshops. My focus lies in the intersection of private and professional life, helping clients navigate personal and career dilemmas.* *With over 16 years of experience in multinational corporate environments across Europe, I bring expertise in management and marketing of consumer goods across beauty, retail, and electronics. Having worked with brands like IBM, Dyson, Philips, and L’Oréal, I now apply this rich experience to support my coaching clients in their personal and professional growth.* *The definition of “success” is deeply personal. At its core, success is about alignment—alignment with one’s values, strengths, and aspirations. When individuals are clear on their core values, they make decisions with greater conviction, navigate challenges with resilience, and find fulfilment in their achievements rather than chasing external markers of success.* *Equally important is self-awareness—understanding one’s strengths and leveraging them effectively. This enables individuals to operate from a place of authenticity and confidence, allowing them to not only excel at their careers but also feel deep fulfilment.* *Uncovering these intrinsic drivers is not always straightforward. This is where coaching plays a transformative role. Coaching helps individuals gain clarity on what truly matters to them, dismantle self-imposed limitations, and design a path that is well-aligned with their values and plays to their strengths. Success, then, is not a fixed destination but a dynamic process—one that flourishes when a person is deeply attuned to who they are and what they stand for.* — Monika Matuszewska Certified Professional Coach at LaMatu **ABOUT EQUALS** Equals is dedicated to letting women grow and support their careers.

This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It's about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. **Content:** **The Cashflow Game Workshop at LaMatu** The Cashflow Game helps you raise your financial IQ. This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It’s about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. This board game is played between 4-7 players in a fun way, with a healthy dose of competitive spirit. The event is held at a location of a coaching practice in the centre of Amsterdam and facilitated by a certified professional coach. Robert Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, first published over 25 years ago, has been a #1 bestseller worldwide in the category of personal finances. *As Rich Dad said, “Money may not be the most important thing in life, but it affects everything that is. Our intent is through the Rich Dad teachings that the most important things in your life never suffer because of a lack of money, but instead thrive and prosper.”* – Robert Kiyosaki **The Rules of the Game** The creators of the board game designed it as a fun, interactive tool to raise your financial IQ. The game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way, Robert Kiyosaki’s recipe to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. His formula is simple: have more cash flowing in every month from our investments than was flowing out in living expenses. During the game you master the ability to acquire cash-generating assets that put money into your pocket while eliminating the liabilities that keep draining your wallet. The cashflow game helps you gain understanding of the differences between the three types of income: earned, portfolio, and passive. Money you make working at a job or owning a small business is called earned income. Earned income, while being the most common ways of earning, is only one of possible income streams. Another way is portfolio income, which is how stock traders traditionally make their money by buying and selling stocks. According to Robert Kiyosaki, the creator of the game, while you can make a lot of money with trading stocks, it’s not how the rich become truly wealthy. It is thanks to the passive income, or cashflow, that the players of the Cashflow Game can become financially free and enjoy a life free from financial struggles. According to the design of the cashflow game, earning sufficient passive income is the trick that allows the players to exit the miserably tedious Rat Race and then swoosh through the Fast Track. **What Are the Gains?** - + Elevate your financial well-being - + Accelerate your financial education and raise your financial IQ - + Simulate different scenarios in a zero-risk environment - + Discover what financial habits are keeping you stuck in the Rat Race - + Change your spending habits and limit money-sucking liabilities - + Understand how to turn the income from your job into positive passive income - + Practice and master the ability to acquire cash-flowing assets - + Adopt a new mindset that can help you reach your financial goals **A Saturday Afternoon Well Spent** - + A unique, fun and educational experience - + A joyful day of play from 11:11 until 18:18 - + A small group of 4-7 participants - + A unique, fun and educational experience - + Full support of a professional coach throughout the game **Timing** Time is money. While the game may take anything between 4 to 7 hours, consider the time spent playing accelerated learning as you will get to simulate a whole life in a matter of hours. It is best to set some quiet time for yourself in the evening and not to plan other social engagements in the evening directly after the game. This will allow you the space to be fully immersed in the experience and get the most of your time investment. **Language** This workshop will be conducted in English. Professional working proficiency of English is required for participation. **Workshop Venue** LaMatu Coaching Practice is located in the VERTICAL building right opposite the NS Station Amsterdam Sloterdijk, West of Westerpark.

This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It's about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. **Content:** ***This edition of the event has sold out. You are welcome to join upcoming editions of the workshop.*** **☘️☘️☘️ Special St. Patrick’s Day Edition of the Cashflow Game in Amsterdam at LaMatu ☘️☘️☘️** Join the special St. Patrick’s Day edition of the cashflow game workshop in Amsterdam. Don’t expect the luck of the Irish to help you find a pot of gold somewhere over the rainbow… Instead, get ready for an afternoon of experiential learning in a fun atmosphere. *“Money swore an oath, that no one who did not love money should have her.”* ―Irish proverb **Cashflow Game at LaMatu** The Cashflow Game helps you raise your financial IQ. This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It’s about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. This board game is played between 4-7 players in a fun way, with a healthy dose of competitive spirit. The event is held at a location of a coaching practice in the centre of Amsterdam and facilitated by a certified professional coach. Robert Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, first published over 25 years ago, has been a #1 bestseller worldwide in the category of personal finances. *As Rich Dad said, “Money may not be the most important thing in life, but it affects everything that is. Our intent is through the Rich Dad teachings that the most important things in your life never suffer because of a lack of money, but instead thrive and prosper.”* ― Robert Kiyosaki **The Rules of the Game** The creators of the board game designed it as a fun, interactive tool to raise your financial IQ. The game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way, Robert Kiyosaki’s recipe to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. His formula is simple: have more cash flowing in every month from our investments than was flowing out in living expenses. During the game you master the ability to acquire cash-generating assets that put money into your pocket while eliminating the liabilities that keep draining your wallet. The cashflow game helps you gain understanding of the differences between the three types of income: earned, portfolio, and passive. Money you make working at a job or owning a small business is called earned income. Earned income, while being the most common ways of earning, is only one of possible income streams. Another way is portfolio income, which is how stock traders traditionally make their money by buying and selling stocks. According to Robert Kiyosaki, the creator of the game, while you can make a lot of money with trading stocks, it’s not how the rich become truly wealthy. It is thanks to the passive income, or cashflow, that the players of the Cashflow Game can become financially free and enjoy a life free from financial struggles. According to the design of the game earning sufficient passive income is the trick that allows the players to exit the miserably tedious Rat Race and then swoosh through the Fast Track. **What Are the Gains?** - 🎲 Elevate your financial well-being - 🎲 Accelerate your financial education and raise your financial IQ - 🎲 Simulate different scenarios in a zero-risk environment - 🎲 Discover what financial habits are keeping you stuck in the Rat Race - 🎲 Change your spending habits and limit money-sucking liabilities - 🎲 Understand how to turn the income from your job into positive passive income - 🎲 Practice and master the ability to acquire cash-flowing assets - 🎲 Adopt a new mindset that can help you reach your financial goals **A Saturday Afternoon Well Spent** - 🎲 A unique, fun and educational experience - 🎲 A joyful day of play from 11:11 until 18:18 - 🎲 A small group of 4-7 participants - 🎲 A unique, fun and educational experience - 🎲 Held at the LaMatu coaching practice in the centre of Amsterdam - 🎲 Full support of a professional coach throughout the game **Timing** Time is money. While the game may take anything between 4 to 7 hours, consider the time spent playing accelerated learning as you will get to simulate a whole life in a matter of hours. It is best to set some quiet time for yourself in the evening and not to plan other social engagements in the evening directly after the game. This will allow you the space to be fully immersed in the experience and get the most of your time investment. **Language** This workshop will be conducted in English.

Learn how to transmute negative news into positive action. During this edition of Personal Development Talks we will examine the effect of exposure to negative media messages on our wellbeing and discuss strategies that we can apply to cope with the effect news in our daily lives. **Content:** **EVENT DETAILS** Join the inspirational event organised by the Personal Development Talks at TSH (The Student Hotel/ The Social Hub) Amsterdam City on a Sunday afternoon. What: Personal Development Talk Where: TSH (The Student Hotel / The Social Hub) Amsterdam City, The Teal Deal Room Who: Personal Development Talks Amsterdam **TOPIC** **Learn to use the guidance of your inner knowing** In this life, we are born onto a wrong path, one determined by the norms and expectations of society. We are conditioned to believe things that generally do not support our growth and direction. In most cases, our (unconscious) beliefs then hold us back from realising our fullest potential and nature, while we live out lives that have been carved out for us by others: people who think they know what is best for us, or may even be manipulating us for their own gain. And so it is that human perception is flawed, dysfunctional, operating through the filters of our beliefs. Our thoughts and feelings do not reflect reality, but express these underlying beliefs that once served us but now hold us back. However… we all have an inner knowing, a tiny, quiet voice that tries to tell us what actions to take for our own highest good (which includes the highest good of all concerned). This is the voice of our intuition. We do not need to find this voice or create it. We only need to learn to hear it and to listen to its guidance… without rationalising away its messages as not making any sense because, let’s face it, in the face of our need to be in control and make sense of life, these messages DO NOT make sense. When we let go of the need to make sense of our lives, we go into a state of IN NO SENSE. Here, we can start to hear that inner voice and get on our life’s right path, following our hearts and highest purpose, living our true nature. And so we can return to INNOCENCE, the state we lived in before we started to define ourselves in relation to the world around us; before we developed an ego that believes in separation, in lack, in scarcity… in not being good enough. Transcending these limiting beliefs, we can finally start to live our true calling, where feeling ‘good enough’ is a natural, divine right; and so, become happy, healthy and successful. **In this workshop, with its practical bias, you will:** • start to explore your intuitive faculties; • practise techniques you can use to develop their intuition. **In this way, you will learn:** · to break free from the limitations of your current life; · to step into the abundance of your true nature; · to live your highest purpose **What you can expect:** · We provide a safe, non-judgemental environment where all opinions can be openly expressed and are equally respected. · No-taboo discussions on difficult and sensitive topics · A chance to meet new, interesting people and connect with like-minded people. We’re in this together! · A boost of inspiration for positive action! **SCHEDULE** · 3:00 pm – doors open, please arrive on time to enjoy some networking before the event · 3:15 pm – 3:30 pm – intro · 3:30 pm – 4:15 pm – personal development talk & workshop part 1 by Bastian Passchier · 4:15 pm – 4:30 pm – break · 4:30 pm – 5:15 pm – personal development talk & workshop part 2 by Bastian Passchier · 5:15 pm – 5:30 pm – round-up & sneak preview of future events · 5:30 pm – 6:00 pm – free networking drinks and snacks (to be continued) **LOCATION** TSH (The Student Hotel / The Social Hub) Amsterdam City The Teal Deal Room Wibautstraat 129, 1091 GL Amsterdam **TICKETS** This event is part of the Mental Health Awareness Week organised by The Student Hotel.

Redirect your life’s journey, release the chains of suppressed emotions and trauma, and become part of a transformative movement. With anxiety, hyper-stress, depression and sleep dysfunction skyrocketing around the globe, it's time we look at the unspoken reasons why – and take action. **Content:** **About the Seminar** In this 3-day immersion workshop hosted in the centre of Amsterdam, you will experience and gain knowledge to help you transform your internal state and prevent future anxiety. Redirect your life’s journey, release the chains of suppressed emotions and trauma, and become part of a transformative movement. With anxiety, hyper-stress, depression and sleep dysfunction skyrocketing around the globe, it’s time we look at the unspoken reasons why – and take action. The specific cause of anxiety takes on a different form for everyone. However there is a very clear common denominator. The emotional challenges that lie at the base of anxiety, panic attacks and depression are due to being taught socially from a very young age to suppress and numb our feelings, leaving us carrying a silo of emotions in our chest of un-reconciled and unexpressed emotions. Using breathing patterns for 20 minutes daily, as taught by Max Strom, can bring you back to a peaceful and calm state as well as gift you with insight and knowledge that was buried along with your feelings. With this new insight you’ll feel empowered to make new and meaningful life decisions. In just a few short days you will have experienced the difference and gained the knowledge to help you transform your internal state, prevent future anxiety, and help others to do so. In this 15-hour transformational event you will experience and learn the how and why of Max’s techniques on: - 🫁 The interconnection of the emotions with the mind and body - 🫁 Connection, Vulnerability, Isolation, Intimacy - 🫁 Crisis as an Axis of Transformation - 🫁 Emotional Healing - 🫁 Lifespan tools, writing and discussion. - 🫁 Evolutionary Breathing Patterns specific to: - – alleviate anxiety - – improve sleep - – improve grief - – alleviate depression - – refocusing and relaxing at work No previous experience necessary. Also extremely useful for medical practitioners, therapists, and yoga teachers who want to incorporate this work into their healing repertoire.

It’s about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. This board game is played between 4-7 players in a fun way, with a healthy dose of competitive spirit. The event is held in Amsterdam and facilitated by a certified professional coach. Robert Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, first published over 25 years ago, has been a #1 bestseller worldwide in the category of personal finances. *As Rich Dad said, “Money may not be the most important thing in life, but it affects everything that is. Our intent is through the Rich Dad teachings that the most important things in your life never suffer because of a lack of money, but instead thrive and prosper.”* – Robert Kiyosaki **The Rules of the Game** The creators of the board game designed it as a fun, interactive tool to raise your financial IQ. The game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way, Robert Kiyosaki’s recipe to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. His formula is simple: have more cash flowing in every month from our investments than was flowing out in living expenses. During the game you master the ability to acquire cash-generating assets that put money into your pocket while eliminating the liabilities that keep draining your wallet. The cashflow game helps you gain understanding of the differences between the three types of income: earned, portfolio, and passive. Money you make working at a job or owning a small business is called earned income. Earned income, while being the most common ways of earning, is only one of possible income streams. Another way is portfolio income, which is how stock traders traditionally make their money by buying and selling stocks. According to Robert Kiyosaki, the creator of the game, while you can make a lot of money with trading stocks, it’s not how the rich become truly wealthy. It is thanks to the passive income, or cashflow, that the players of the Cashflow Game can become financially free and enjoy a life free from financial struggles. According to the design of the game earning sufficient passive income is the trick that allows the players to exit the miserably tedious Rat Race and then swoosh through the Fast Track. **What Are the Gains?** - 🎲 Elevate your financial well-being - 🎲 Accelerate your financial education and raise your financial IQ - 🎲 Simulate different scenarios in a zero-risk environment - 🎲 Discover what financial habits are keeping you stuck in the Rat Race - 🎲 Change your spending habits and limit money-sucking liabilities - 🎲 Understand how to turn the income from your job into positive passive income - 🎲 Practice and master the ability to acquire cash-flowing assets - 🎲 Adopt a new mindset that can help you reach your financial goals **A Saturday Afternoon Well Spent** - 🎲 A unique, fun and educational experience - 🎲 A joyful day of play from 11:11 until 18:18 - 🎲 A small group of 4-7 participants - 🎲 A unique, fun and educational experience - 🎲 Held at the LaMatu coaching practice in the centre of Amsterdam - 🎲 Full support of a professional coach throughout the game **Timing** Time is money. While the game may take anything between 4 to 7 hours, consider the time spent playing accelerated learning as you will get to simulate a whole life in a matter of hours. It is best to set some quiet time for yourself in the evening and not to plan other social engagements in the evening directly after the game.

Harv Eker, author of the best-selling book “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind.” The MMI event is designed to teach participants the mindset and financial strategies that successful people use to increase their wealth. It covers a wide range of topics, including personal finance management, overcoming financial blocks, setting wealth goals, and creating multiple streams of income. MMI spans over three days and is structured to be interactive, with exercises, discussions, and practical lessons aimed at helping attendees reshape their attitudes towards money and wealth. One of the key teachings of the MMI is the concept of the “money blueprint,” which Eker argues is a person’s inner preset program for how they handle financial success.

The MMI has been hosted in various countries around the world such as United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Australia, Spain, Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, India and Singapore to attracted a wide audience, from entrepreneurs and business owners to individuals seeking to improve their financial situation.

Redirect your life’s journey, release the chains of suppressed emotions and trauma, and become part of a transformative movement. With anxiety, hyper-stress, depression and sleep dysfunction skyrocketing around the globe, it’s time we look at the unspoken reasons why – and take action. The specific cause of anxiety takes on a different form for everyone. However there is a very clear common denominator. The emotional challenges that lie at the base of anxiety, panic attacks and depression are due to being taught socially from a very young age to suppress and numb our feelings, leaving us carrying a silo of emotions in our chest of un-reconciled and unexpressed emotions. Using breathing patterns for 20 minutes daily, as taught by Max Strom, can bring you back to a peaceful and calm state as well as gift you with insight and knowledge that was buried along with your feelings. With this new insight you’ll feel empowered to make new and meaningful life decisions. In just a few short days you will have experienced the difference and gained the knowledge to help you transform your internal state, prevent future anxiety, and help others to do so. In this 15-hour transformational event you will experience and learn the how and why of Max’s techniques on: - The interconnection of the emotions with the mind and body - Connection, Vulnerability, Isolation, Intimacy - Crisis as an Axis of Transformation - Emotional Healing - Lifespan tools, writing and discussion. - Evolutionary Breathing Patterns specific to: - alleviate anxiety - improve sleep - improve grief - alleviate depression - refocusing and relaxing at work No previous experience necessary. Also extremely useful for medical practitioners, therapists, and yoga teachers who want to incorporate this work into their healing repertoire. Be sure to bring writing materials. **The programme** The course lasts 15 hours over 3 days. It starts on Friday noon and ends on Sunday evening. It qualifies as 15 hours of YACEP credit. Day 1: Friday, 1st of December 2023, 12:00 – 18:30 Day 2: Saturday, 2nd of December 2023, 12:00 – 18:30 Day 3: Sunday, 3rd of December 2023, 12:00 – 18:30 **Location** Yoga Moves Jan van Scorelstraat 41 3583 CK Utrecht The Netherlands **Language** The lectures and instruction will be conducted in English.

This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It’s about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. This board game is played between 4-7 players in a fun way, with a healthy dose of competitive spirit. The event is held at a location of a coaching practice in the centre of Amsterdam and facilitated by a certified professional coach. Robert Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, first published over 25 years ago, has been a #1 bestseller worldwide in the category of personal finances. *As Rich Dad said, “Money may not be the most important thing in life, but it affects everything that is. Our intent is through the Rich Dad teachings that the most important things in your life never suffer because of a lack of money, but instead thrive and prosper.”* – Robert Kiyosaki **The Rules of the Game** The creators of the board game designed it as a fun, interactive tool to raise your financial IQ. The game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way, Robert Kiyosaki’s recipe to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. His formula is simple: have more cash flowing in every month from our investments than was flowing out in living expenses. During the game you master the ability to acquire cash-generating assets that put money into your pocket while eliminating the liabilities that keep draining your wallet. The cashflow game helps you gain understanding of the differences between the three types of income: earned, portfolio, and passive. Money you make working at a job or owning a small business is called earned income. Earned income, while being the most common ways of earning, is only one of possible income streams. Another way is portfolio income, which is how stock traders traditionally make their money by buying and selling stocks. According to Robert Kiyosaki, the creator of the game, while you can make a lot of money with trading stocks, it’s not how the rich become truly wealthy. It is thanks to the passive income, or cashflow, that the players of the Cashflow Game can become financially free and enjoy a life free from financial struggles. According to the design of the game earning sufficient passive income is the trick that allows the players to exit the miserably tedious Rat Race and then swoosh through the Fast Track. **What Are the Gains?** - + Elevate your financial well-being - + Accelerate your financial education and raise your financial IQ - + Simulate different scenarios in a zero-risk environment - + Discover what financial habits are keeping you stuck in the Rat Race - + Change your spending habits and limit money-sucking liabilities - + Understand how to turn the income from your job into positive passive income - + Practice and master the ability to acquire cash-flowing assets - + Adopt a new mindset that can help you reach your financial goals **A Sunday Afternoon Well Spent** - + A unique, fun and educational experience - + A joyful day of play from 11:11 until 18:18 - + A small group of 4-7 participants - + A unique, fun and educational experience - + Held at the LaMatu coaching practice in the centre of Amsterdam - + Full support of a professional coach throughout the game **Timing** Time is money. While the game may take anything between 4 to 7 hours, consider the time spent playing accelerated learning as you will get to simulate a whole life in a matter of hours. It is best to set some quiet time for yourself in the evening and not to plan other social engagements in the evening directly after the game. This will allow you the space to be fully immersed in the experience and get the most of your time investment. **Language** This workshop will be conducted in English.

The MMI has been hosted in various countries around the world such as United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Australia, Spain, Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, India and Singapore to attracted a wide audience, from entrepreneurs and business owners to individuals seeking to improve their financial situation. While the core principles of the MMI are based on Eker’s teachings, the event itself may feature various speakers and trainers certified by T. Harv Eker or associated organisations. **About the author** T.

This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It's about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. **Content:** \*\*\* This edition has already sold out. You are welcome to join future editions of the workshop. \*\*\* **Cashflow Game at LaMatu** The Cashflow Game helps you raise your financial IQ. This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It’s about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. This board game is played between 4-7 players in a fun way, with a healthy dose of competitive spirit. The event is held at a location of a coaching practice in the centre of Amsterdam and facilitated by a certified professional coach. Robert Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, first published over 25 years ago, has been a #1 bestseller worldwide in the category of personal finances. *As Rich Dad said, “Money may not be the most important thing in life, but it affects everything that is.” Our intent is through the Rich Dad teachings that the most important things in your life never suffer because of a lack of money, but instead thrive and prosper.* – Robert Kiyosaki **The Rules of the Game** The creators of the board game designed it as a fun, interactive tool to raise your financial IQ. The game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way, Robert Kiyosaki’s recipe to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. His formula is simple: have more cash flowing in every month from our investments than was flowing out in living expenses. During the game you master the ability to acquire cash-generating assets that put money into your pocket while eliminating the liabilities that keep draining your wallet. The cashflow game helps you gain understanding of the differences between the three types of income: earned, portfolio, and passive. Money you make working at a job or owning a small business is called earned income. Earned income, while being the most common ways of earning, is only one of possible income streams. Another way is portfolio income, which is how stock traders traditionally make their money by buying and selling stocks. According to Robert Kiyosaki, the creator of the game, while you can make a lot of money with trading stocks, it’s not how the rich become truly wealthy. It is thanks to the passive income, or cashflow, that the players of the Cashflow Game can become financially free and enjoy a life free from financial struggles. According to the design of the game earning sufficient passive income is the trick that allows the players to exit the miserably tedious Rat Race and then swoosh through the Fast Track. **What Are the Gains?** - + Elevate your financial well-being - + Accelerate your financial education and raise your financial IQ - + Simulate different scenarios in a zero-risk environment - + Discover what financial habits are keeping you stuck in the Rat Race - + Change your spending habits and limit money-sucking liabilities - + Understand how to turn the income from your job into positive passive income - + Practice and master the ability to acquire cash-flowing assets - + Adopt a new mindset that can help you reach your financial goals **A Sunday Afternoon Well Spent** - + A unique, fun and educational experience - + A joyful day of play from 11:11 until 18:18 - + A small group of 4-7 participants - + A unique, fun and educational experience - + Held at the LaMatu coaching practice in the centre of Amsterdam - + Full support of a professional coach throughout the game **Timing** Time is money. While the game may take anything between 4 to 7 hours, consider the time spent playing accelerated learning as you will get to simulate a whole life in a matter of hours. It is best to set some quiet time for yourself in the evening and not to plan other social engagements in the evening directly after the game. This will allow you the space to be fully immersed in the experience and get the most of your time investment. **Language** This workshop will be conducted in English. Professional working proficiency of English is required for participation. **Your Investment** The best investment you can make in today’s volatile world is taking your financial education in your own hands.

It provides connections, increased capacity, a peer network, financial support, skills training, and increased visibility for their work, which ranges from gender-based violence and climate justice to economic inequities and political disempowerment, and more. Now celebrating 25 years since its founding, Vital Voices Global Partnership has directly invested in more than 20,000 change-makers across 184 countries and territories since its inception in 1997. Driven by the universal truth that women are the key to progress in their communities and nations cannot move forward without women in leadership positions, Vital Voices has provided early support for leaders who went on to become Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, U.S. Youth Poet Laureates, Prime Ministers, award-winning innovators, pioneering human rights defenders, and breakthrough social entrepreneurs. In an effort to advance and expand this work, in 2022 Vital Voices opened the doors to the world’s first global embassy for women, the Vital Voices Global Headquarters for Women’s Leadership —a first-of-its-kind space that allows for convening, innovation, planning, and action — all in the pursuit of tackling the world’s greatest challenges. Vital Voices invests in leaders because they take on the responsibility to improve their communities, their countries, and their societies. By exhibiting visionary thinking and taking risks to innovate, they strengthen laws, create jobs, change cultures and defend freedoms, making change that ripples out into the global community. The organisation partners with women who practice leadership that unites and inspires people. Each leader in their global network believes in mentoring the rising generation and shares her knowledge, experience, and influence with others. Its investment in one leader has an impact on thousands more. Vital Voices know that one intervention is not enough to support women leaders who are on the frontlines of change in their communities. Making long-term investments in the women leaders who have the vision and commitment to make a lasting change means offering continued support. The organisation works with women leaders over many years, providing them with the technical skills, visibility and partnerships they need to continue to push for progress.

He wrote one of most successful self-help books of the 20th century “Think and Grow Rich”, which has sold over 15 million copies. While Hill’s legacy remains disputable, the concept of Master Mind alliance has inspired countless individuals over the years to come together and pursue their noble goals by harnessing the collective power of positive group interactions. You may find below a selection of quotes by the man himself, where he lays out the principles of the “Master Mind”. > *“Master Mind,” meaning a mind that is developed through the harmonious co-operation of two or more people who ally themselves for the purpose of accomplishing any given task.”* > > – Napoleon Hill “The Law of Success”, 1928 > *“The process of mind blending here described as a “Master Mind” may be likened to the act of one who connects many electric batteries to a single transmission wire, thereby ‘stepping up’ the power passing over that line by the amount of energy the batteries carry. Each mind, through the principle of mind chemistry, stimulates all the other minds in the group.”* > > – Napoleon Hill, “The Magic Ladder to Success”, 1930 > *“A friendly alliance with one or more persons who will encourage one to follow through with both plan and purpose.”* > > – Napoleon Hill, “Think and Grow Rich”, 1937 > *“Maintain perfect harmony between yourself and every member of your mastermind group. If you fail to carry out this instruction to the letter, you may expect to meet with failure. The master mind principle cannot obtain where perfect harmony does not prevail.”* > > – Napoleon Hill, “Think and Grow Rich”, 1937 > *“Every mind needs friendly contact with other minds, for food of expansion and growth.”* > > – Napoleon Hill “Master Key to Riches”, 1945 **Categories:** Business, Past, Personal Development **Tags:** Amsterdam, business, business coach, club, coach, coaches, coaching, discussion, entrepreneur, entrepreneur coach, entrepreneurial, event, expat, expat coach, female, group, international, intervision, lifestyle coach, master mind, mastermind, mastermind alliance, mastermind group, meetup, member, networking, personal development, personal growth, personal leadership, professional coach, woman, women --- ### [HR Technology Conference & Exposition Europe - 02.05.2024](https://lamatu.com/events/hr-technology-europe/) **Published:** May 2, 2024 **Author:** admin **Excerpt:** HR Technology Conference and Exposition event in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Redirect your life’s journey, release the chains of suppressed emotions and trauma, and become part of a transformative movement. With anxiety, hyper-stress, depression and sleep dysfunction skyrocketing around the globe, it’s time we look at the unspoken reasons why – and take action. The specific cause of anxiety takes on a different form for everyone. However there is a very clear common denominator. The emotional challenges that lie at the base of anxiety, panic attacks and depression are due to being taught socially from a very young age to suppress and numb our feelings, leaving us carrying a silo of emotions in our chest of un-reconciled and unexpressed emotions. Using breathing patterns for 20 minutes daily, as taught by Max Strom, can bring you back to a peaceful and calm state as well as gift you with insight and knowledge that was buried along with your feelings. With this new insight you’ll feel empowered to make new and meaningful life decisions. In just a few short days you will have experienced the difference and gained the knowledge to help you transform your internal state, prevent future anxiety, and help others to do so. In this 15-hour transformational event you will experience and learn the how and why of Max’s techniques on: - – The interconnection of the emotions with the mind and body - – Connection, vulnerability, isolation, intimacy - – Crisis as an Axis of Transformation - – Emotional healing - – Lifespan tools, writing and discussion - – Evolutionary breathing patterns specific to: - – alleviate anxiety - – improve sleep - – improve grief - – alleviate depression - – refocusing and relaxing at work No previous experience necessary. Also extremely useful for medical practitioners, therapists, and yoga teachers who want to incorporate this work into their healing repertoire. Be sure to bring writing materials. **The programme** The course lasts 15 hours over 3 days. It starts on Friday noon and ends on Sunday evening. It qualifies as 15 hours of YACEP credit.

This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It's about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. **Content:** **Special St. Patrick’s Day Edition of the Cashflow Game at LaMatu** Join the special St. Patrick’s Day edition of the cashflow game workshop in Amsterdam. Don’t expect the luck of the Irish to help you find a pot of gold somewhere over the rainbow… Instead, get ready for an afternoon of experiential learning in a fun atmosphere. *“Money swore an oath, that no one who did not love money should have her.”* ―Irish proverb The Cashflow Game helps you raise your financial IQ. This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It’s about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. This board game is played between 4-7 players in a fun way, with a healthy dose of competitive spirit. The event is held at a location of a coaching practice in Amsterdam West and facilitated by a certified professional coach. **The Rules of the Game** The creators of the board game designed it as a fun, interactive tool to raise your financial IQ. The game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way, Robert Kiyosaki’s recipe to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. His formula is simple: have more cash flowing in every month from our investments than was flowing out in living expenses. During the game you master the ability to acquire cash-generating assets that put money into your pocket while eliminating the liabilities that keep draining your wallet. The cashflow game helps you gain understanding of the differences between the three types of income: earned, portfolio, and passive. Money you make working at a job or owning a small business is called earned income. Earned income, while being the most common ways of earning, is only one of possible income streams. Another way is portfolio income, which is how stock traders traditionally make their money by buying and selling stocks. According to Robert Kiyosaki, the creator of the game, while you can make a lot of money with trading stocks, it’s not how the rich become truly wealthy. It is thanks to the passive income, or cashflow, that the players of the Cashflow Game can become financially free and enjoy a life free from financial struggles. According to the design of the game earning sufficient passive income is the trick that allows the players to exit the miserably tedious Rat Race and then swoosh through the Fast Track. Robert Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, first published over 25 years ago, has been a #1 bestseller worldwide in the category of personal finances. *As Rich Dad said, “Money may not be the most important thing in life, but it affects everything that is.” Our intent is through the Rich Dad teachings that the most important things in your life never suffer because of a lack of money, but instead thrive and prosper.* – Robert Kiyosaki **What Are the Gains?** - + Elevate your financial well-being - + Accelerate your financial education and raise your financial IQ - + Simulate different scenarios in a zero-risk environment - + Discover what financial habits are keeping you stuck in the Rat Race - + Change your spending habits and limit money-sucking liabilities - + Understand how to turn the income from your job into positive passive income - + Practice and master the ability to acquire cash-flowing assets - + Adopt a new mindset that can help you reach your financial goals **Timing** Time is money. While the game may take anything between 4 to 7 hours, consider the time spent playing accelerated learning as you will get to simulate a whole life in a matter of hours. It is best to set some quiet time for yourself in the evening and not to plan other social engagements in the evening directly after the game. This will allow you the space to be fully immersed in the experience and get the most of your time investment. **Workshop Venue** Space for Change Jacob Van Lennepkade 340-H 1053 NJ Amsterdam **Lunch Venue** Staring at Jacob Jacob Van Lennepkade 215 1054 ZP Amsterdam **Language** This workshop will be conducted in English.

Origami beginners are warmly welcome! **🙋🏻‍♂️ About the Trainer** This workshop will be led by the author of books “The Book of Mindful Origami” and “The Magic of Mindful Origami”, Samuel Tsang. He has been folding origami since a child and the turtle, the model that he has created as the first one remains his all-time favourite. He has been teaching the art of mindfoldness professionally since 2003. During that time he has introduced origami to thousands of students in corporate team building and public workshops in London and Amsterdam. Sam has worked with over 100 companies including some of the world’s top internet and luxury good brands. He specialises in making beautiful bespoke origami first anniversary bouquets out of paper and undertakes commissions from private individuals and businesses. He was the main organiser for the Guinness World Record for the largest display of origami elephants that is permanently displayed at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo in the United Kingdom. Sam’s passion for origami blends into his family life as he created multiple models representing members of his family. He lives with his wife and two daughters in Amsterdam in a house full of origami. **🎎 About the Art of Mindful Origami** *“Origami has been shown to aid relaxation, concentration, hand eye co-ordination and memory, and what’s more, it does not require complicated tools or materials to perform. All you need is a piece of paper and some focused thought, and the results can be enjoyed almost immediately. (…)* *Every day millions of us sit in front of a computer screen tapping away at a keyboard and don’t create anything real.* *Undertaking an origami project is a chance to get creative and make something tangible; turning a piece of paper into a 3D sculpture is a meditative journey that installs in us a sense of pride, competence and accomplishment.* *As we slow down and start to fold paper, which is so beautifully tactile, so we start to unfold our minds. Worries and troubles float away as we start to fold and follow the instructions, fully focused on the task at hand, able to mindfully contemplate our intentions, hopes and dreams.* *Why not sit with a friend or a child and fold together? Like colouring in, origami is a wonderful shared pursuit – as you get into it and find ‘flow’, time is suspended and as you discover the art of origami,so you start to lead a more authentic, simple and calmer life.”* ― Samuel Tsang **🔰 Timing:** The workshop will take 1,5 hours starting at 15:15 sharp.

Napoleon Hill, most known for his iconic book “Think and Grow Rich”, was an avid advocate harnessing the collective power of a support group to fuel personal and professional growth. Here are some of the quotes of the master himself, where he elaborates on the core principles of creating a mastermind group. *“Master Mind,” meaning a mind that is developed through the harmonious co-operation of two or more people who ally themselves for the purpose of accomplishing any given task.”* 1928 “The Law of Success” *“The process of mind blending here described as a “Master Mind” may be likened to the act of one who connects many electric batteries to a single transmission wire, thereby ‘stepping up’ the power passing over that line by the amount of energy the batteries carry. Each mind, through the principle of mind chemistry, stimulates all the other minds in the group.”* 1930 “The Magic Ladder to Success” *“A friendly alliance with one or more persons who will encourage one to follow through with both plan and purpose.”* 1937 “Think and Grow Rich” *“Maintain perfect harmony between yourself and every member of your mastermind group. If you fail to carry out this instruction to the letter, you may expect to meet with failure. The master mind principle cannot obtain where perfect harmony does not prevail.”* 1937 “Think and Grow Rich” *“Every mind needs friendly contact with other minds, for food of expansion and growth.”* 1945 “Master Key to Riches” **REGISTRATION** This is a members-only event intended for ladies who are registered members Amsterdam International Women Entrepreneurs Club and the Coaches for Coaches group. Participation is free for the members of the club.

Redirect your life’s journey, release the chains of suppressed emotions and trauma, and become part of a transformative movement. With anxiety, hyper-stress, depression and sleep dysfunction skyrocketing around the globe, it’s time we look at the unspoken reasons why – and take action. The specific cause of anxiety takes on a different form for everyone. However there is a very clear common denominator. The emotional challenges that lie at the base of anxiety, panic attacks and depression are due to being taught socially from a very young age to suppress and numb our feelings, leaving us carrying a silo of emotions in our chest of un-reconciled and unexpressed emotions. Using breathing patterns for 20 minutes daily, as taught by Max Strom, can bring you back to a peaceful and calm state as well as gift you with insight and knowledge that was buried along with your feelings. With this new insight you’ll feel empowered to make new and meaningful life decisions. In just a few short days you will have experienced the difference and gained the knowledge to help you transform your internal state, prevent future anxiety, and help others to do so. In this 15-hour transformational event you will experience and learn the how and why of Max’s techniques on: - The interconnection of the emotions with the mind and body - Connection, Vulnerability, Isolation, Intimacy - Crisis as an Axis of Transformation - Emotional Healing - Lifespan tools, writing and discussion. - Evolutionary Breathing Patterns specific to: - alleviate anxiety - improve sleep - improve grief - alleviate depression - refocusing and relaxing at work No previous experience necessary. Also extremely useful for medical practitioners, therapists, and yoga teachers who want to incorporate this work into their healing repertoire. Be sure to bring writing materials. **The programme** The course lasts 15 hours over 3 days. It starts on Friday noon and ends on Sunday evening. It qualifies as 15 hours of YACEP credit.

Brian has conducted over 800 in-depth interviews as an antidote to the numbing effects of mainstream media. **Language** This seminar will be conducted in English.

This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It's about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. **Content:** **Cashflow Game at LaMatu** The Cashflow Game helps you raise your financial IQ. This game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. It’s about looking at your financial choices, seeing how you react to different scenarios and using these insights for your own growth, transforming the way you play the money game in your real life. This board game is played between 4-7 players in a fun way, with a healthy dose of competitive spirit. The event is held at a location of a coaching practice in the centre of Amsterdam and facilitated by a certified professional coach. Robert Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, first published over 25 years ago, has been a #1 bestseller worldwide in the category of personal finances. *As Rich Dad said, “Money may not be the most important thing in life, but it affects everything that is.” Our intent is through the Rich Dad teachings that the most important things in your life never suffer because of a lack of money, but instead thrive and prosper.* – Robert Kiyosaki **The Rules of the Game** The creators of the board game designed it as a fun, interactive tool to raise your financial IQ. The game teaches, in a fun and entertaining way, Robert Kiyosaki’s recipe to exit the rat race and achieve financial freedom. His formula is simple: have more cash flowing in every month from our investments than was flowing out in living expenses. During the game you master the ability to acquire cash-generating assets that put money into your pocket while eliminating the liabilities that keep draining your wallet. The cashflow game helps you gain understanding of the differences between the three types of income: earned, portfolio, and passive. Money you make working at a job or owning a small business is called earned income. Earned income, while being the most common ways of earning, is only one of possible income streams. Another way is portfolio income, which is how stock traders traditionally make their money by buying and selling stocks. According to Robert Kiyosaki, the creator of the game, while you can make a lot of money with trading stocks, it’s not how the rich become truly wealthy. It is thanks to the passive income, or cashflow, that the players of the Cashflow Game can become financially free and enjoy a life free from financial struggles. According to the design of the game earning sufficient passive income is the trick that allows the players to exit the miserably tedious Rat Race and then swoosh through the Fast Track. **What Are the Gains?** - + Elevate your financial well-being - + Accelerate your financial education and raise your financial IQ - + Simulate different scenarios in a zero-risk environment - + Discover what financial habits are keeping you stuck in the Rat Race - + Change your spending habits and limit money-sucking liabilities - + Understand how to turn the income from your job into positive passive income - + Practice and master the ability to acquire cash-flowing assets - + Adopt a new mindset that can help you reach your financial goals **Timing** Time is money. While the game may take anything between 4 to 7 hours, consider the time spent playing accelerated learning as you will get to simulate a whole life in a matter of hours. It is best to set some quiet time for yourself in the evening and not to plan other social engagements in the evening directly after the game. This will allow you the space to be fully immersed in the experience and get the most of your time investment. **Language** This workshop will be conducted in English.

Examine the effect of exposure to negative media messages on our wellbeing and learn strategies that you can directly apply in your daily life apply to cope with the effect that news have on our daily lives. **Content:** **EVENT DETAILS** Attend the keynote presentation “Attention Economy” by Monika Matuszewska from LaMatu, held on 3rd of May 2023 at the main campus of the Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This presentation will be a part of the CEMS conference, consisting of a whole evening of inspirational talks, workshops, panel discussions, presentations, and networking. LaMatu will be sharing the stage with other CEMS speakers representing various specialties. **TOPIC** **Attention Economy** Modern technology brought us many blessings, but it is also fraught with some serious risks. As we become more dependent on the use of our digital devices, we find that dealing with distractions such as constant social media updates and news notifications is becoming increasingly hard. Our attention spans and the ability to think deeply became victims of the battle for our attention waged by the tech companies and advertising giants. As a result, our mental capacity to maintain focus and concentration inevitably suffer. We find it harder and harder to focus on a single task at work, let alone to read a book in our free time. This session will touch upon current trends such as social media detox and dopamine fasting and examine the possible impact on our mental health. We will explore the human needs, discover how information leads to stress formation and expose the mechanism of addiction in the context of modern technology and media. We will learn to take a step back to re-evaluate which of the messages that we focus on are merely distractions. Spoiler alert: you may discover that it’s time to take charge of where you focus your attention and decide it’s time to declutter your digital life. **Key questions:** · Why is paying attention so hard in the modern world? · Which human needs do modern media fulfil? · Why are modern media addictive? **Are you:** · sometimes finding yourself mindlessly scrolling on your device? · experiencing feeling drained, tired & wired at the end of the day? · having difficulty finishing a task of focus for a long time because of distractions? **Would you like to:** · discover new ways to find a healthy way of coping with distractions? · find inspiration on how to break out of the negative spiral? · make a positive change in your daily life? · meet new people and exchange ideas? **LOCATION** Erasmus University Rotterdam Bayle Building (formerly J-Building) Burgemeester Oudlaan 50 3062 PA Rotterdam The Netherlands **AGENDA** 18:00 – Registration 18:00 – 18:30 – Welcome drink 18:30 – 20:00 – Speaker sessions 20:00 – 21:30 – Networking drinks and bites **TICKETS** Attendance is free for CEMS alumni and students of Erasmus University.

Named after Dutch humanist Desiderius Erasmus, the university played a central role in the post-industrial transitions of Rotterdam.

Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) blends high-quality education and research with an enriching global perspective. International rankings list EUR among the world’s leading players. This university is ranked among the top business schools in Europe. It is known for the quality of its lectures, expertise of the staff and offering promising career prospects for its graduates. Erasmus University is well-embedded in the city of Rotterdam and at the same time it has a strong international orientation.

Whether group mentoring, or one-2-one mentoring, the organisation’s local programmes have supported many PWN members to achieve their career goals. The International Mentoring Program will last for 4 months, starting from March 2023 and will close by the end of June 2023. The International Mentoring Programme aims to support female members of PWN, at all levels of their career, to find their ways to progress, develop their leadership and decision-making skills, and embrace their growth in an international environment. The programme offers participants various occasions to leverage their mentoring experience. For instance, you will be trained as a mentee and receive a mentee toolkit. You will also benefit from the experiences of other mentees at virtual mentee gatherings that will give you the chance to exchange views on mentoring and on how to develop a career internationally. PWN provides an effective mentoring structure to ensure that you get the most out of your mentoring experience, by calling upon a wide range of mentors, ensuring the best possible match for you, and following up on your progress through the mentoring cycle. Although, the mentoring pairs will be completely free to organise themselves, we recommend that you meet virtually once every 4 to 6 weeks, which means about 5 times in total. The duration of your meetings is up to you. From our experience, an effective meeting may last between 45 and 90 minutes. We suggest you use platforms such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom. Videoconferencing helps to create a stronger bond as you will be able to see each other. You may also exchange emails, text messages in-between meetings. **INFORMATION FOR THE MENTEES** **Why embark on a journey as a mentee?** - – Are you making/Do you want to make a career step abroad? - – Do you feel the need to grow your leadership in an international context? - – Do you want to reinforce your decision-making skills in a multicultural environment? **What benefits do you receive as a mentee?** - – Benefit from another female leader’s experience in managing her career internationally. - – Have a “safe place” to ask questions, share ideas, and discuss challenges in a confidential setting. - – Collect useful advice, avoid traps, and therefore improve your chances of transforming efficiently - – Acquire new perspectives on how to grow inside and outside your organisation. - – Expand your network internationally and build professional relationships. - – Get tips on how to adapt – both professionally, and personally – to another country, and manage cultural differences - – Work with someone experienced to decode some of the transversal dynamics of an international position, together with culturally specific power games that may arise. **Some of the characteristics we expect from a mentee are:** - – Having already made a career step abroad or willing to develop your career internationally in the coming year - – Be committed to engaging with your mentor, both in terms of time and actions - – Taking the ownership of your self-development - – Willing to push yourself out of your comfort zone - – Eager to learn from others’ experiences - – Ready to engage with a mentor potentially from a different nationality and/or living in a different country **INFORMATION FOR MENTORS** **Why embark on a journey as a mentor?** - – Do you enjoy developing people? - – Do you feel your international experience as a leader could benefit other women managers? - – Do you believe that women should network more actively across the globe? **What benefits do you receive as a mentor?** - – Share your international experience while giving back to society and advancing gender balanced leadership - – Experience the personal fulfilment of supporting another woman in developing her skills and career - – Contribute to the realisation of another woman’s potential - – Get the pleasure of seeing your “protégé” face her challenges successfully - – Develop your own leadership skills as a mentor - – Get additional insights on your industry, or some new insights from a different arena **The mentors are selected on the basis if the following criteria:** - – Having already experienced 3-5 years in a European or International career - – Having worked with teams in minimum 2 different countries or having worked regularly in 4 different countries - – Being a people manager (directly/indirectly) - – Being committed to your engagement with your mentee both in terms of time and dedication - – Eager to share your experiences, best practices and lessons learnt - – Ready to open your own network to your mentee - – Skilled in providing honest feedback and open guidance - – Ability to quickly create a trustworthy relationship with a non-judgmental attitude - – Ready to engage with a mentee potentially from a different nationality and/or living in a different country **ABOUT PROFESSIONAL WOMEN’S NETWORK** Professional Women’s Network is a global movement of people working towards gender-balanced leadership through professional development and international, cross-industry, online and in-person networking.

He wrote one of most successful self-help books of the 20th century “Think and Grow Rich”, which has sold over 15 million copies.

Learn how to transmute negative news into positive action. During this edition of Personal Development Talks we will examine the effect of exposure to negative media messages on our wellbeing and discuss strategies that we can apply to cope with the effect news in our daily lives. **Content:** **EVENT DETAILS** Join the inspirational event organised by Bastian Passchier at SportCity Cornelis Schuytstraat in Amsterdam on a Sunday afternoon. **What:** Interactive personal development workshop **Where:** SportCity Cornelis Schuytstraat in Amsterdam **Who:** Bastian Passchier **TOPIC** **Learn to use the guidance of your inner knowing. From “in no sense” to innocence.** In this life, we are born onto a wrong path, one determined by the norms and expectations of society. We are conditioned to believe things that generally do not support our growth and direction. In most cases, our (unconscious) beliefs then hold us back from realising our fullest potential and nature, while we live out lives that have been carved out for us by others: people who think they know what is best for us, or may even be manipulating us for their own gain. And so it is that human perception is flawed, dysfunctional, operating through the filters of our beliefs. Our thoughts and feelings do not reflect reality, but express these underlying beliefs that once served us but now hold us back. However… we all have an inner knowing, a tiny, quiet voice that tries to tell us what actions to take for our own highest good (which includes the highest good of all concerned). This is the voice of our intuition. We do not need to find this voice or create it. We only need to learn to hear it and to listen to its guidance… without rationalising away its messages as not making any sense because, let’s face it, in the face of our need to be in control and make sense of life, these messages do not make sense. When we let go of the need to make sense of our lives, we go into a state of IN NO SENSE. Here, we can start to hear that inner voice and get on our life’s right path, following our hearts and highest purpose, living our true nature. And so we can return to INNOCENCE, the state we lived in before we started to define ourselves in relation to the world around us; before we developed an ego that believes in separation, in lack, in scarcity… in not being good enough. Transcending these limiting beliefs, we can finally start to live our true calling, where feeling ‘good enough’ is a natural, divine right; and so, become happy, healthy and successful. **In this workshop, with its practical bias, you will:** · start to explore your intuitive faculties; · practise techniques you can use to develop their intuition. **In this way, you will learn:** · to break free from the limitations of your current life; · to step into the abundance of your true nature; · to live your highest purpose **What you can expect:** · A safe, non-judgemental environment where all opinions can be openly expressed and are equally respected. · A chance to meet new, interesting people and connect with like-minded people. We’re in this together! · No-taboo discussions on difficult and sensitive topics. · A boost of inspiration for positive action! **LOCATION** SportCity Cornelis Schuytstraat Cornelis Schuytstraat 57 1071 JG Amsterdam The Netherlands **REGISTRATION** Ticket price: € 30 p.p.
