Acting Proactively course: average 8.6 from 6 reviews

“The course was very well structured. Easy to follow and highly instructive. The material covered was new to me and was also very easy to understand. I got a lot out of it and there are many things I will apply in practice. A very clear trainer who is also very good at getting the message across. The course was delivered in an inspiring and instructive way.”

Anonymous9.6

“Well organised, with a good trainer who had prepared the course thoroughly and led both days expertly. A pleasant schedule with a good balance between listening and doing, whether in groups or not. There is also ample time for breaks.”

R. de Groot - Staatsbosbeheer9.0

“You learn a great deal here!”

M. Ahdoudi - Het Utrechts Archief9.0

“A lot of content, a great many topics and techniques covered, without it feeling as though we were rushing through the material. The trainer made many techniques visual, and by working through assignments it wasn't so theoretical but actually very practical.”

J. Butter-Verduin - Ahold Delhaize8.6

“The information about courses on the website immediately gave me the feeling: this is the place for me / this is what I'm looking for. Very clear. When I registered, I received an immediate response along with additional information.”

“The content of the course was professional and of excellent quality. What appealed to me: knowledge and experience, discussing practical situations, and above all it was good to be given examples and tools for steering certain situations in the right direction.”

Frequently asked questions about Acting Proactively in-company

Where does the in-company Acting Proactively course take place?

Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.

Can the content be tailored to our organisation?

Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.

How large can the group be?

That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.

What does Acting Proactively in-company cost?

You get a fixed price for the whole group, in a tailored quote. For a group this works out cheaper than booking everyone individually. For comparison: a place on the scheduled course costs EUR 1250,- excl. VAT per participant.

Can the course be delivered in English?

Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.

Do participants receive a certificate?

Yes, every participant receives a certificate of attendance afterwards.

How do I request a quote?

Via the quote form: state the course, the number of participants and roughly where and when you would like it. An adviser will then contact you.

Who is the Acting Proactively course suitable for?

The Acting Proactively course is suitable for anyone who finds themselves too hesitant and wants to take more control in their work and collaboration. You might recognise yourself in wanting to plan better, act more assertively or take the initiative more often. The group consists of no more than eight participants, so there is room for your personal learning objectives and practical situations.

Which topics are covered during the Acting Proactively course?

During the Acting Proactively course you work on communication skills, assertiveness, ownership and personal leadership. You also learn to recognise limiting beliefs, give feedback using the Johari window and prioritise tasks with the Eisenhower model. In addition, you look at team effectiveness, anticipating and reflecting, so that you learn to look ahead in a structured way instead of waiting for things to happen.

What is the approach during the Acting Proactively course?

The Acting Proactively course uses a personal approach with a maximum of eight participants per group. An intake takes place beforehand, so that the trainer can tailor the programme to your learning objectives. During the you learn mainly by doing and experiencing: exercises, role plays and reflection are central. A safe atmosphere means you can experiment freely with new behaviour.

What are the results of the Acting Proactively course?

After the Acting Proactively course you present yourself in a visibly more proactive way and have more insight into your own thinking and behaviour. You know your communication style, qualities and points for attention, and you can anticipate through a better view of your tasks and the role of your team. You also know how to enthuse others and take the initiative, instead of waiting for someone else to act.

How large is the group during the Acting Proactively course?

The Proactive Behaviour course has a maximum group size of eight participants. This small group means you receive plenty of personal attention from the trainer and there is room to practise new skills. You learn in a safe atmosphere, which safeguards the learning effect and the return on the classroom course.

What is the difference between the Proactive Behaviour course and an Assertiveness or Time Management course?

Acting proactively partly overlaps with both, but it sits differently. An assertiveness course focuses mainly on standing up for yourself and setting boundaries. A time management course is about planning, prioritising and managing your diary. Acting proactively combines those elements and adds a further layer: taking the initiative yourself, looking ahead and taking charge in your work and your team. In concrete terms, during this classroom course you work on ownership, anticipating with the Eisenhower model, communication skills, giving feedback using the Johari window and the team effectiveness model. So you choose this course if you don't just want to be more assertive or plan better, but above all want to develop a more active, guiding attitude. For yourself and towards your team.

When should I choose a classroom Acting Proactively course rather than a book or an online course on proactivity?

A book or online course works fine if you want to understand in theory what proactive behaviour involves. You read about models such as the Eisenhower model or the Johari window and can reflect on them yourself. Learnit's classroom Proactive Behaviour course adds something that self-study does not offer: practising with real people. In a group of no more than eight participants you experiment with assertive behaviour, giving feedback and asking follow-up questions, and you get immediate responses from a trainer and fellow participants. Limiting beliefs are rarely changed by reading about them. That requires interaction and reflection from others. Choose the course if you want to change your behaviour, not just acquire knowledge. For pure theory, a book will do.

How do I know whether this course will really do something for me, rather than my simply falling back into old, passive behaviour shortly afterwards?

Whether the course sticks depends on two things: recognition beforehand and practice during. Prior to the Acting Proactively course you have an intake with the trainer, in which your personal learning objectives are set down. The programme is adjusted accordingly. During the course you work actively with your own real-life situations: limiting beliefs are analysed, you practise giving feedback (among other things via the Johari window) and you map out your tasks using the Eisenhower model. With a maximum group size of eight participants, you get plenty of practice time and personal feedback. You prevent relapse by applying what you learn directly to current tasks and projects.
