Sexually aggressive behaviour
Given that each generation approaches sexualised behaviour in a different manner than the last, practitioners need to be aware of such behaviour and the impact it could have on their practice. This workshop will look at what is meant be 'sexualised behaviour' and 'sexually aggressive behaviour' within the context of child sexual abuse.

Adventure therapy and Therapeutic adventure
This workshop will look at the differences between the two terminologies often referred to as little 't' and Big 'T' and in particular, how it can be utilised as a tool to aid experiential learning to act as a compensatory therapy for victims of childhood trauma through abuse. We will look at 2 specific case studies to illustrate the differences.
This workshop will be at least 3-4 hours duration.

Learning from reality and learning from metaphor
There are two strong traditions in experiential learning: learning from direct experiences and learning from 'as if' experiences in which storylines or metaphors are the main focus of attention. We will use examples to clarify (and confuse!) these differences and will then explore 'good practices' for working with these different kinds of reality ('real' and 'metaphoric'). Your entry ticket is having two short stories to tell: one illustrating learning from real experience, the other illustrating learning through metaphor. Ideally these stories are about people you have worked with in experiential programmes. As a result of taking part in this workshop you might have a greater awareness of the different levels of reality on which you are working, and you might gain some useful insights into how to work effectively at these different levels.

Archery, Aikido and Facilitation
Overview: Experience archery and aikido and explore connections with how we facilitate.
Themes: Awareness, Exploration, Reflection, Balance, Interaction, Dialogue, Harmony, Calmness.
Archery: focusing on 'self', forgetting the bow, and being aware of your breathing.
Aikido: exploring 'our selves' and interactions other than 'fight or surrender'.
Connections with facilitation: inner focus and outer goal (linked to archery); learning conversations (linked to aikido); bringing 'there and then' into 'here and now' (an approach to facilitating reflection on experience).
Participation: This is being offered as an 'all-in-one' three hour workshop.

Experiential Learning with Sailing
This workshop is about using sailing as a vehicle to deliver the benefits of team working training. It explores sailing as an effective training tool for team-working. We will try to explore the principles and methods of team-working on the basis of sailing. We will argue some theoretical basics and some practical activities at the same time. The immediacy of sailing, coupled with the need for teamwork, adds to the powerful impact of our training programs. Being aboard a boat highlights the relevant issues like teamwork, communication, organization, motivation and leadership abilities.
So, this is a study about conflict management, time management, people management, communication, creativity, problem solving, motivation, and leadership. I also would like to bring up a discussion related with sailing and adventure education.
Duration: 1.5 hours.

A team from pieces
A problem-solving game with the combination of two games: the Cooperation Squares and the Tangram Puzzles. It involves communication, cooperation, decision-making and teamwork. In the end three figures of three different people can be obtained. That means a team can be built from some insignificant pieces by the aid of teamwork. It generates good discussions.
Duration 1.5 hours

On becoming a Thriving Manager
I would like to share the subject of my Masters research project with conference participants by including you in the design of a framework for case study research.
The purpose of my study is to develop understanding about how managers in different organisations "thrive".
The workshop will include a mix of presentation of ideas, discussion, and creative construction of a research framework.

Belbin's Team Roles as a feedback tool
Using the nine teamroles Belbin identfied, participants can give each other very deep and helpful feedback, at the same time the team can see how balanced theit team is. In this workshop we will work out these roles, their characteristics, strenghts and development fields. Than we will create an team picture of the distribution of the roles in our 'workshop team'.

Quality system
Quality control is a buzz word for a lot of organisations. In this workshop I will go into the basics of quality control. Amongst other things, this involves disantangling the complex of processes into clear subprocesses, and describing them. I will discuss some of the common assumptions and underlying principles of these descriptions.
The tools that I use in this training (cartoon movie and Cycle time) will show that a subject like this does not have to be dull or boring.
Duration: 1.5 hour
