27 October – Jacob Heiberg: Master your State

Jacob HeibergJacob is a Performance Coach and seasoned Senior Leader in the Anthony Robbins organisation with a few dozen events under his belt. He has a track record for creating extreme results in a short timespan. Since 2005 he has coached, mentored and consulted with more than 1000 clients spanning from individuals to billion-dollar multinationals. The purpose is always to get more success with less effort.

In 2009 he sold everything he owned, and travelled the world for one year to realize a long dream and “start fresh” afterwards, with a clear focus on helping people and organisations realize their dreams. He now lives in a tropical paradise and does what he loves.

Jacob speaks about how to get into, and stay, in a peak performance state. Through mastering your state, you will be able to achieve your goals faster. This seminar will teach you more about anchors, triggers, somatic configuration and how elite athletes and other peak performers master their state at will. You’ll learn how to alter your normal state to an optimal state where you can do anything you want with ease.

10 September: 8 Principles for Creating a Breakthrough

boardsSeptember is celebration month! Join us for our first monthly event of the new season, a year in which we will adhere more closely to the original Yes Group concept, i.e. speaker-led and theme-based workshops.

Though we usually meet on the third Wednesday, 10 September is my birthday, and I want to continue the “birthday edition” tradition that started last year.

This evening will consist of 3 parts:

• Introduction of the Yes Group and the programme for the coming year – hopefully we can already announce some of the big names we are working on 😉
• 8 Principles for Creating a Breakthrough – I will present part of my workshop about discovering your hidden GEMS. We will discuss how you can develop the confidence to go for your goals, and a set of tools, beliefs and principles that will allow you to breakthrough. And to make this evening even more memorable, you will have the opportunity to practice the 8 principles by breaking through a wooden board!
• Networking & celebration time – as we will have a lot of new faces attending, we will reserve ample time for getting to know each other.

If you are interested in NLP, I want to mention 2 exciting opportunities:
If you would like to follow an NLP practitioner or master practitioner, in English, in a contiguous course, Lidija Markovic Rosati & Thomas Björge will organise their courses in Brussels for the first time. I’ve known Lidija for a few years now after meeting in the UPW crew, and she’s a very skilled NLP trainer. They are both Classic and New Code NLP trainers and have studied with NLP co-creators John Grinder & Richard Bandler, and Steve Linder, as well as many others. More info at http://momentum-strategies.com/nlp-practitioner/. As a bonus for Yes Group members, you will receive a free two hour coaching session.

If you would like to follow an NLP practitioner or master practitioner, in Dutch, in 6 modules, I would recommend Ubeon. Next to the pracs they also organise NLP workshops and masterclasses. More info at http://www.ubeon.com/academy/. I have a discount code available for all Ubeon courses (and you can use KMO Portefeuille).

18 December – Christmas Edition

6HN_HarryThe UPW preview workshop on 28 November was a great day, with more than 100 participants for the evening part. Great to meet up with Harry Singha, he was kind enough to mention Yes Group a few times so we got extra exposure. The best part was meeting 17y old Hester, who is one of the lead coaches for Tony’s Global Youth Leadership, and finding out that she lives in my city! What are the odds? NB If you need UPW tickets for yourself or loved ones contact me and I’ll get you the best deals 🙂

The next big event in Antwerp is coming up 1-2 February: Weekend with the Masters, an event with 10 Belgian & international speakers. And there might be a surprise guest 😉 If you want to participate, use the Yes Group code “YES14” to receive a 80 euro discount! Plus at the moment you get a second ticket for free! Meaning it’s currently only 67 euro excl. VAT for 2 tickets. More info and registration at weekendwiththemasters.be. We are also looking for crew members to help out, thanks to those of you that already confirmed, please contact me if you want to join the team.

Before all that we are planning to end the year with a bang and get in the best shape for 2014! Our Yes Group meeting on December 18 will be a festive one. You are invited to bring a bottle of your favorite drink or some snacks. We’ve pronounced it to be a Zag day 😉 As for the mastermind part, the idea is for everyone who wants, to share one specific outcome you want to achieve in 2014, so we can give input, and support you to achieve it. If you haven’t got one yet, we can help you define it on the spot, or you can share an insight or result you got this year that might be interesting for others too.

A set of questions that we used in a seminar last weekend may help you to prepar e this:
What’s one outcome that you want to achieve in 2014?
What can you do next week as a first step to get you closer to that outcome?
Who will help you reach this?
How will you measure your progress?
How will you celebrate achieving your outcome?
What have you learned this past year that will help you (and might help others too)?

The practical details:
When: Wednesday 18 December, welcome from 19h, start at 19h30
Where: Alsembergsesteenweg / Chaussée d’Alsemberg 350, 1190 Brussels

Back from London ;-)

I wanted to limit the number of seminars I’m going to this year, to take time to integrate all the previous ones; I was able to do so until half September, but since then it seems I’m at an event every week, and this will continue into December…Luckily I can be very picky and only choose topevents 😉

This time, I’ve just returned from London where I attended Andy Harrington’s Speakers Bootcamp. I first met Andy 4 years ago and he stood out with his inspirational message and speaking skills. The interesting thing is that a lot of what he does today was triggered by Tony Robbins… He is also a master at describing the psychology of personal development afficionado’s, so he in turn triggers me a lot. One of my favorite lines: “Your dream will not shut up until you listen to it”.

In the end, I couldn’t resist any longer, and applied for and got accepted into his Professional Speakers Academy! I’m very excited to be honing my public speaking skills over the next year and inspire more people as a result 🙂

In the meantime a lot is happening for the Yes Group as well. We will be working closely together with Succesgids, as they are planning more events in Belgium. As mentioned before, they are organising a free UPW preview workshop with Harry Singha on November 28th, and we have our own Yes Group branded registration page now: http://succesgids.nl/vergezel-yes-group-belgium-upw-preview-workshop-harry-singha/ – be sure to use this one when you sign up! Please forward this link to any friends who might be interested – this is a great way to warm them up for UPW. Their life might never be the same again 😉

Before that we will of course have our mastermind, as usual on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. In October David shared many valuable insights from Leadership Academy, this month we will have the pleasure of listening to Liza’s presentation, that she created as a result of a previous mastermind session.

The practical details:
When: Wednesday 20 November, welcome from 19h, start at 19h30
Where: Alsembergsesteenweg / Chaussée d’Alsemberg 350, 1190 Brussels

Keep going for your dreams, and CU next week!
