Excelling in Personal Leadership
Imagine this: a small boat that, with enough wind in its sails, can even pull a cruise ship.
That drawing was made by one of my children. Above it, in elegant letters, it said: The big key is yourself.
And he’s right. Because children already know:
They try. They fall. They get back up. They try again.
They ask for help when things become challenging.
They trust that the wind will always return.
But us adults?
We often keep going around in the same patterns.
The same obstacles. The same frustrations. The same exhaustion.
As if we’ve forgotten that we, too, have a rudder.
Do you recognise this?
- Getting stuck in old patterns?
- Tension holding you back – in connection with others or within yourself?
- A feeling that your energy and drive are slipping away?
Then it’s time to start rowing together for a while. To discover where you carry wind in your sails – anytime, anywhere.

Set Your Course – and Grow in Personal Leadership
Welcome to the leadership programme: a learning journey in which you rediscover your true strength, break through patterns and set a new course. In collaboration with DAZO, the social enterprise for sustainable employability.
We draw on the scientific insights of the Positive Intelligence Programme, enabling you – just like in the BOFfertjes Factory – to learn leadership in a natural and resilient way. Leading yourself and others. At work and beyond. At your pace. In your way.
What will it bring you?
- Wind in your sails, anytime and anywhere
- Calm, decisiveness and resilience
- The right balance between performance, wellbeing and connection
How does it work?

Discover how your brain works, how emotions arise and how to deal with them consciously.
- Break through patterns
Recognise and unmask your inner saboteurs and choose positive strategies that truly work.
- Work with impact
Gain a deeper understanding of what is happening within yourself and others, and influence situations effectively.

- Achieve your goals with energy
Stay focused, motivate yourself and take effective action to achieve results.

What do we ask of you?
- Weekly focus
For six weeks, we will spend one hour together each week, allowing you to move step by step closer to the place where you have wind in your sails anytime and anywhere.
- Daily practice (15 minutes)
Short, practical app-based exercises that help you keep a steady hand on the helm and better steer your energy, resilience and relationships.
“The programme helped me stop reacting from control and start responding from trust. It not only works better, it also feels better. For the first time, I felt powerful without having to be tough.”
