In this session, Philip will take you behind the scenes of real encounters with toxic leadership. You'll hear what works and what doesn't when dealing with them, learn to recognize the warning signs early, and walk away with practical strategies to protect yourself and your career from their influence.

IMA Norway's Fall Conference 2025
Theme: The Future Executive Assistant - Technology, Changes, and Collaboration
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:
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:
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.
Woudschoten Hotel & Conferentiecentrum Surrounded by greenery and centrally located in the Netherlands, Woudschoten in Zeist offers 30 flexible rooms for meetings, trainings, and conferences for up to 350 guests. With free parking, excellent public transport connections, and a Green Key Gold certificate, Woudschoten combines sustainability, comfort, and warm hospitality.

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.
We are delighted to invite you to an exciting member meeting on November 26 at our new corporate member HOBO, right in the heart of Oslo.
HOBO is more than just a hotel – it’s a creative community, a place for inspiration, collaboration, and experiences. With 181 unique rooms, inviting meeting spaces, and a combination of bars, cafés, restaurants, and shops, HOBO is a place where something new is always happening.
This evening, we’ll experience how HOBO creates events that are anything but ordinary, and they will show us how their unique venues and creative approach can add that special touch to any meeting or event.
