  Networking Evening “Managing the Future! Perspectives and Tools for Forward-Thinking Assistants”

  In a world full of change, uncertainty, and rapid pace, we need people who keep an overview – and who have the courage to think beyond today. This is exactly where your strength lies: Assistants are often closer to the pulse of the organization than many others.

  Participants can look forward to:

  • A lasting shift in perspective: Understanding the future as a space for action.

  • Inspiration meets method: A UNESCO-tested concept for proactive future thinking.

  • A special exercise: Writing a letter from the year 2030.

  • The “Futures Cone” as a thinking tool: Asking “What could be?”

  • Networking with foresight: Exchange of ideas and more, with a relaxed ending at the bar.

  For all who want more than the status quo.

  Netværksmøde den 30. oktober på 25hours Hotel Indre By

  Vi glæder os til at mødes på det charmerende 25hours Hotel Indre By - Pilestræde 65, 1112 København K.

  Hotellet har til huse i en historisk bygning fra det 19. århundrede, der tidligere har rummet både porcelænsfabrik og universitet. I dag danner det ramme om 243 unikke værelser, hyggelige kroge som Vinylrummet og skønne madoplevelser i NENI og rendezvous.

  
  

  Lever du …. eller overlever du… med stress?

  • ”Opdag de små greb, der gør forskellen mellem at overleve og at leve.”
  • ”Stress er virkelighed – men du kan tage styringen. Få indsigt og værktøjer på 1½ time.”
  • ”Vi sætter fokus på, hvordan du kan gå fra overlevelse til overskud – med viden og håndgribelige værktøjer.”

  Master stress coach, Lena Bøttger, vil tage os igennem et spændende indlæg omkring stress, som er et af de emner flere medlemmer har ønsket. De fleste af os kender til stress enten fordi vi selv har haft det tæt inde på livet eller fordi vi kender nogen der har været ramt. Lena arbejder med stressramte i kommunalt regi og bruger metoden fra Bjarne Toftegård’s bog ’Mere overskud, mindre stress’, som du også får med hjem. Lena deler gladeligt ud af sin store indsigt og sine mange år erfaring. Kom og lyt, lær og lev. Livet skal ikke bare overleves!

  Date: Monday, 10th November, 08:30-21:00

  Venue: Scandic Fornebu Hotel

  Registration here

   

  Are you ready for the future?

  AI technology is developing rapidly, and in just two years, AI agents will be able to perform our administrative tasks faster and with perfect precision. This will revolutionise the interaction between leaders and assistants, giving us a more strategic and advisory role where human skills become crucial.

  How can we ensure that we remain relevant in our role? The key to this will be to have a positive attitude towards new technology, change, and a strong desire to be part of development. Equally important is developing and nurturing our human skills – those that connect people and build trust in relationships.

  At this year's conference, you will hear inspiring talks from renowned and engaging speakers who will prepare us for our future roles. This is an unique opportunity to learn, grow, and be part of an exciting future.

   

  Join us at the conference! You will leave with increased insight, motivation, joy, and greater professional pride.

  More information about the program and speakers will be announce on Høstkonferansen 2025 | Imakonferansen 2025

  IMA Netherlands National Training Day 

  15 november | 09:30 -16:30  

  Woudschoten Hotel & Conferentiecentrum, Zeist 

  Cultivating Personal Leadership  

  After the International Conference in Hasselt, where Empowering Leadership takes center stage, we’ll continue straight into a deeper exploration. After all, inspiration only becomes valuable when you translate it into your daily work. Together with leadership trainer Varinka Bouma, you will immerse yourself in two powerful workshops. 

  You’ll learn how to strengthen your influence, enhance your presence, and transform conflicts into connection. Expect an interactive day full of eye-openers, reflection, and new tools you can apply immediately. This is a deep dive into your personal leadership, alongside peers who understand what it means to work at the highest level. And all of this takes place at the beautiful Woudschoten Hotel & Conference Centre in Zeist, surrounded by forest. 

  Morning program 

  Own your presence, amplify your influence 

  Focus: Presence, self-awareness, and the dynamics of influence 

  This highly interactive session helps Executive Assistants strengthen their presence and understand how they impact others. Through experiential activities based on Patsy Rodenburg’s “Three circles” model and a practical framework of “The four lenses of influence,” participants will: 

  • Experience and practice authentic presence (second circle) 
  • Explore their personal influence style (character, connection, competence, contribution)  
  • Identify one small, concrete way to grow their influence 

  Afternoon program 

  Out of the Box: Turning Conflict into Connection 

  Focus: Conflict transformation and relational mindset 

  This workshop reframes conflict as an opportunity for clarity and connection. Using the Arbinger Institute’s “Anatomy of Peace” framework, participants explore how we unknowingly ‘box’ ourselves and others, reinforcing cycles of tension or avoidance. Through reflection, embodiment, and dialogue, participants will: 

  • Recognize their personal patterns in conflict 
  • Understand the psychological and emotional ‘boxes’ we operate from 
  • Learn a model for shifting mindset and behavior to restore connection 
  • Practice a new way of approaching conflict with curiosity and openness. 

  About Varinka Bouma 

  Varinka is a relationship architect. Whether working with teams or executives, her mission is the same: to strengthen the connections that make everything else work. 

  “Executive Assistants are the quiet powerhouses of any organization, influencing far more than what’s on your job description. When your presence and influence grow, so does your impact. You are far more than a support function, you are a leader in your own right. And this workshop is designed to help you own that”. 

  For IMA members we offer this full day of training for EUR 120,-*. 

  Guest are welcome to join, the regular price of EUR 145,-* applies. 

  This includes coffee, tea, water & snacks during the training,  a delightful lunch and drinks after the training.

  Effective Strategies for Stress Management, Digital Relief, and Mental Well-being

  In our impulse workshop, you’ll discover hands-on strategies for more focus, balance, and digital well-being:
  ✅ Self-care rituals to slow down
  ✅ Methods to boost energy and concentration
  ✅ Tools for a healthy approach to digital technologies

  Look forward to inspiring discussions, valuable best practices, and your personal “Digital Well-being” checklist!

• IMA Belgium - Increasing well-being at your workplace : lessons from science

  • When
    20 Nov 2025
  •  
    18:30 - 21:30
  • Location
    The Standard Hotel, Bd Roi Albert II 30, 1000 Brussels

  Pursuing well-being at work is like Alice in Wonderland meeting the Cheshire Cat: "If you don't know where your're going, any road will take you there.

  Regularly asking yourself "What do I want to have accomplished by the end of your career?" will inevitably lead you to your inner compass - your (work)values. 

  A successful leader is able to dedicate enough time to their core business: thingking about the future direction of the organization. This requires deep focus - and a disciplined, healthy approach to meetings. 

  These three choices significantly boosted my well-being at work. There's one aspect of workplace well-being where we fall short compared to other areas: feedback. Too often, we rely on the sandwich method.

  Stijn Baert is a Belgian economist, labor market specialist, and professor at both Ghent University and the University of Antwerp. This evening, he will explore workplace well-being from an economic and scientific perspective, showing us how each of us can contribute to fostering it.

  The event is open to everyone—members and non-members alike—including assistants and professionals in all business roles who are interested in this important topic.
