Time and self-management training in Amsterdam: get the important things done
One day to re-sort your week: what matters gets time, what slows you down gets a rule. You leave with ten impulses and a personal plan for the week ahead. In Amsterdam you work in a group drawn from the Zuidas, the canal-belt agencies and the international organisations of the Randstad, in English throughout.

Why Amsterdam
Amsterdam works in English as a matter of course. Scale-ups on the Zuidas, international headquarters, consultancies and NGOs all present, plan and decide in English every day, often with Dutch directness and a strong instinct for consensus.
This seminar is built for that mix: a small group of ten, your own material, and feedback from people who work in other industries than you do.
Who joins in Amsterdam
- Professionals and managers from international headquarters and scale-ups
- Consultants and project leads working across the Randstad
- Staff of NGOs and international organisations
- Participants from Utrecht, Rotterdam, The Hague and Antwerp

Questions
Questions about the time management training in Amsterdam
Is this about tools or behaviour?
Behaviour. The techniques work with Outlook, paper or any to-do app. You cannot manage time, only what you do with it.
Is the seminar suitable for managers?
Yes. Many participants lead teams and bring exactly the issues we cover: days full of meetings, shifting priorities, waiting for others.
How practical is the day?
Every technique is tried on your own calendar. You leave with a planned week, not with a theory.
Where does the seminar take place?
At Regus Express inside Amsterdam Centraal station, Stationsplein 19-W. You receive the exact room with your booking confirmation.
How does invoicing work for Dutch companies?
You can book by invoice. Prices are net; VAT is handled according to where your company is based. We answer questions on this before you book.
Will the seminar definitely run?
From three paying participants. If we are below that 14 days before the date, we cancel and refund in full.
Can I book the Amsterdam seminar with colleagues?
Yes. From three people from one company, send us a short note and we reserve the seats on one invoice. From six people an inhouse date at your offices in Amsterdam or anywhere in the Netherlands is usually the better option.
