Inclusive Leadership is an emerging capability to help organizations adapt to diverse audiences, ideas, and talents. An important trait is the leader’s visible commitment to seeking diversity & inclusion in decision-making and their awareness of biases.

For example, think about a study association with a Dutch board but half of its members are international. How to make these students engaged? How to make communication work despite cultural differences? How to make everyone feel part of the community?

Another example could be creating an open and safe environment in an association to make LGBTQ+ people comfortable to be who they are. Or to make females feel safe in a male-dominated environment. 

First, there is a meeting with you to understand the needs of your association. 

Have you faced a surge in international students? Maybe your members have asked for fewer alcohol-drinking activities? Maybe there is a group of students that don’t appear at all in your activities? 

We can reflect together on how the organization can improve.  

Would you like to have open conversations on important topics within your association and are you looking for ways to guide the discussion?

Though there is much we can learn from each other and we often face similar challenges, it can sometimes still be difficult to openly talk about them. The Conversation Game is here to help. In small groups, you’ll talk about the topics that match your needs and wishes, such as study stress, diversity, or just wellbeing in general. You name it! A TINT member will support each group and ensure everyone feels heard. Together, we create a safe space for honest, meaningful conversations.

Whether you’re looking to open up conversations within your board or encourage members to talk more openly about their challenges and support each other, this casual event is for you. 

Empower conversations that connect and inspire!

Perfectionism can be both a blessing and a burden. It may help you excel in your studies and other activities, but it can also be a cause for stress and anxiety.

This workshop aims to help you understand what perfectionism is, where it comes from, and how to get it under control. You will explore how perfectionism establishes itself in your behaviour and thinking patterns. Using those insights and some practical tools to handle its burdens, you work on gaining more self-acceptance.

Friendships and social contacts are a big part of our lives and are always dynamic. When starting a new study or job, new connections can be overwhelming or can make you feel insecure.

In this workshop, you will explore what friendships and professional relationships mean to you and how you can develop your social connections. What makes you feel welcome? What is a friend to you? While exploring these questions, you will learn about your definition of a friend and might be surprised how that can be different for others. Also, you will learn how to work with a sociogram and discuss it together. During the whole session, we will make sure you get to know your colleagues/peers through mixing and mingling!

Learn how to make connections, become aware of personal and professional relations, and experience what connecting means to you and others.

Trying to present the perfect image of ourselves to others, whether on social media or in real life, can take up a lot of energy. Still, many of us tend to do it. 

This workshop is focused on the question: What are my traits that I like to show to others, and which ones do I prefer to hide? We will help you reflect on this question, support you in finding answers for yourself, and guide the conversation within the group to inspire one another. All to develop more self-awareness, feel more comfortable in your own shoes, and have more peace of mind.

Give yourself the freedom to be your true self among others.

‘Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.’ But first, you might have to ask yourself the question: What am I passionate about, what are my skills, and how do I make the right choice for my future? Let us help you answer those questions. 

During this workshop, you will have the opportunity to reflect on your passions, skills, education, and ambitions. You will brainstorm for yourself and with others on how this can come together in a career, and write down the first steps you can take to get closer to your goal. Having a vision of where you want to go will make your upcoming study and career-related decisions a little easier.

Follow your gut feeling and let yourself be free to create a vision for your future life. Visualisation is an effective technique to express both your abstract and concrete ideas about a specific project or the person you want to be. After you know where you want to go, it becomes easier to plan your first step towards that vision. 

For this workshop, bring one or more magazines that reflect your interests and which you wouldn't mind cutting up for your vision board.

In existing groups where people work together, the way people communicate with each other has a major influence on effectiveness and job satisfaction. But how do you deal with the fact that people communicate in different ways? 

This workshop consists of two sessions. In the first session, you will gain insight into your own communication style, that of others, and why some people clash or hit it off. We use a communication style model and experiential exercises. With this model, you discover what is typical for you when communicating and what is typical for your teammates. In the second session, we will discuss and reflect on situations where things could have gone better. Together, you will create an open atmosphere and a stronger bond within your team.

Learn to communicate with anyone.

Target group: Groups that work together for a longer period of time, for example, a project group, a board, or a department.
