Programme 2012

Work’s what you do – not where you go.
Careers no longer go straight up – they zig zag.
The Corporate Ladder is evolving into a Corporate Lattice.
And the battleground for talent lies at the intersection of high performance and sustainable career-life fit. The two are mutually reinforcing — and inextricably linked.

Why Personal Branding? To discover what your talents really are. To strengthen them and make them visible, for yourself and your environment. You learn to be yourself and to create the best version of yourself. With Personal Branding you will direct your own career.

We will take you around in Personal Branding and give you practical tools to apply it. We use the formula E = mc ², where E stands for energy, m for motivation and c competences. If you do what you love to do, what you are good at and what is important to you, you will get energy. You will be enthusiastic, show commitment and get empowered.

You will gain insight into your personal career so you can send yourself better. That means personal leadership!

More time for passion. Thrills and spills with the kids. Strutting your stuff in the Big Apple. Chilling out with a cappuccino. All your work done in four days.

Yes, you can have it all! Claim your passion, Dump those loose ends. Gain more me-time.

Recover your pizzazz and vitality in a workshop full of fun & with no stress, and with 101 glossy tips for more quali-time.

Sara Van Wesenbeeck facilitates the workshop. She works as an organizing expert and personal coach in her company Plus Organizing®. Sara is an EU Female Entrepreneurship Ambassador and she is the author of Het slimme organizing boek (The smart book of organizing).

Many women find that in the process of striving to succeed in work they have developed only part of who they are while leaving vital aspects of their feminine leadership capacities behind. In the midst of substantial achievement women often report feeling empty, invisible or out of synch with dominant models of success.

This track is for women who are ready for a deeper experience of mastery in personal presence and authority, and who are interested in enhancing the value of feminine leadership characteristics in the organizational systems they work and live in.

We guide participants in how to build a collectively informed picture of the systemic obstacles that prevent women from fully accessing their reservoir of leadership and we support participants in developing greater depth of understanding and the practical skills needed to bring about sustainable, positive change in their spheres of influence.

We help each person interface with the normal fray of life through four fundamental leadership stances and their associated practical applications. When these are fully inhabited, we have the inner resourcefulness to respond with assurance to just about anything. These stances access an ever-present field of creative possibility that underlies all difficult and stuck places.

The Place of Intuition is home to our emotional IQ, where reliable perceptions of critical non-physical factors inform us through our bodies. The ability to stand in another’s shoes, and our spontaneous playful selves reside here. Our ability to powerfully Follow resides in this area.

The Place of Truth is deeply rooted in the earth: practical and honest. Draws clear boundaries, assesses risk and voices what needs to be spoken. Our ability to respectfully Oppose resides here.
The Place of Perspective is the dispassionate overview that can discern cycles and patterns, reframe problems, learn quickly and embrace complexity. Our ability to discern and Bystand is informed by this capacity.

In The Place of Vision and Purpose one sees through surface disturbance to the benevolent and worthy essence of one’s own self the gifts of others. From here we maintain the sanctity of the core mission of all endeavors, and hold the continuity of past, present and future. Our ability to Move with clarity is born from this stance.

This track has traditionally been open to women only. For this taster at the Jump Forum, we would like to make space for men who are wanting to do their own reflective work in the mix with us. They too will have the experiential opportunity to strengthen and clarify feminine qualities of leadership in themselves and more deeply understand the systemic challenges and opportunities faced by women in these times of change.

Des questions importantes auxquelles les femmes doivent penser et qu’elles doivent gérer si elles souhaitent assurer leur autonomie et leur bien-être.

Un dossier d’information sera en outre distribué aux participantes. Les expertes s’expriment en français, néerlandais ou anglais.

Les sujets abordés sont :

• J’analyse mon patrimoine: Quelle est ma situation personnelle? Quelles sont les classes d’actifs disponibles? Comment faire croître mon patrimoine? Quel profil d’investisseur adopter?
• Tout savoir sur les assurances et les prêts de tout type: Comment me protéger ainsi que mes proches contre les aléas de la vie? Comment protéger mes biens et ma vie quotidienne? Comment gérer mes cartes de crédit et choisir les meilleurs taux en fonction de mes besoins.
• Comment optimiser ma succession ou celle de mes parents?

The notion of what a leader needs to be is being challenged. Today, principally masculine values are used and appreciated in professional environments. There is, however, a substantial need for the injection of feminine values to complement the masculine model. As long as we cling to the dominant masculine culture in which the feminine – present in all of us – is undervalued and underused, fundamental change is impossible.

We are now at a turning point, but we remain attached to the old, the familiar.
In order to successfully adapt to the challenges we face, such as a more diverse society and workforce, creative and collaborative work environments, sustainable entrepreneurship for health and well-being, we need to let go of our old ideas.

You can start by discovering your personal balance between your masculine and feminine inner pole during this workshop. How could you benefit from developing your masculine or feminine qualities? How do you develop more balance as a man? Is it easier or more difficult for women?

Your U.S.P. (Unique Selling Proposition) is at the heart of your Personal Brand and therefore your career strategy. It is your key core message. It defines you!

Women are brought up to be collaborative and to think of others first and NOT to “toot our own horns” especially not in the workplace. So in many ways creating a Personal Brand is counter–intuitive, but it can be learned – by anyone. Especially you!

In this practical, hands-on workshop you will learn how to identify, articulate and promote your success stories (without bragging). Build you confidence by knowing what you’re good at and being able to share that information with ease.

Your USP can be used in your online profiles, at networking events, in your CV mission statement, elevator pitch and in interviews, all vital to women in the workplace!

Come and learn how to “toot your own horn”!

Genesis and research behind this highly acclaimed leadership programme for (future) female leaders.
Ann works as a partner at Executive Learning Partnership, a company that specializes in the architecture and delivery of interventions with the leadership teams of organisations. As such, she became intrigued by the challenges which women face in order to make it to and then hold their own in these senior ranks. As a designer of leadership programmes, she then set out to design a personal development programme for women who have chosen to have a career. What is it that they need to know and master in order to thrive in corporate life? Ann will guide you through her findings and will demonstrate how “Brand Me” offers to deal with them.

Définissez ce qui vous motive, et vous trouverez l’énergie qui vous fera avancer dans la vie, dans votre carrière ! Voilà une affirmation courante. La vraie question qui se pose cependant est de savoir ce qui me motive réellement ? Ma motivation est-elle liée au plaisir de faire ou plutôt au plaisir du résultat? Suis-je au contraire motivée de faire telle ou telle action pour éviter ce que je redoute le plus ? Ou est-ce purement une envie de faire sans qu’il y ait d’action pour autant…
Basé sur 25 années de recherche multidisciplinaire, intégrant les dernières découvertes en neurosciences, ce workshop va vous permettre de faire une distinction importante entre d’une part vos motivations profondes, votre « moteur », source inépuisable d’énergie et d’autre part vos moteurs externes, influencés par votre environnement, et donc plus fragile, car lié à un résultat. Vous allez apprendre comme les 2 interagissent, comment vos appréhensions viennent brouiller le jeu et comment canaliser ceux-ci…
…pour acquérir une longueur d’avance et aller plus loin qu’une bonne première impression !

How do you use your seniority, your managerial and leadership experience for growing new talents around you?
How did you do to reach the higher levels? What would you do different, better or stop doing ?
You might have heard people sharing stories full of stereotypes by bitching around the coffee machine. Did it help?
So what will you decide to contribute to change?
There is no one size fit’s all solution or career path.
That there is no one right path to take but there are many paths.
How do you share all this to empower younger women to get the best out of themselves?
How do you transmit your learning to inspire younger women to support in finding their own way?
How can you support and develop women to add value to the business they choose?

The global challenges that we will have to deal with in the near future will need the creativity and talents of everyone, and of every company and organisation. We have a common responsibility and role to play. In parralel, lots of us are disconnected from the purpose of their job, and suffer from discouragement. This leads to absenteism and presenteism, a huge waste.
During this workshop, you will map your personal forces and talents – masculine and feminine – and position them inside your company, offering beginning of solutions to global challenges – within corporate missions. It makes the link between the individual, the company, and the macro – the global situation. A side-effect is recalibrating the societal role of the company, and the purpose of the individual inside the company. This can remobilize people, and bring more coherence and systemic thinking in corporate strategy. You will walk away with a detailed chart enabling you to understand the micro-meso-macro dynamics of the systems in which you live and work.
