Springest Academy

"To understand Asana as the office communication tool is like learning a new language, so I feel like I needed to have grammar lessons (e.g. what is a task, what can you do with it), spelling lessons (e.g. linking tasks practically) and pronunciation lessons (e.g. how and when to let which people know there is progress, how to organise oneself with asana). All of these topics have been mentioned to the most appropriate extent considering the knowledge level, so I am very happy with getting the basic ideas thanks to Detmar, but I feel like it would have been helpful to separate these topics a little bit and to get from the abstract concept to the practical realisation (or the other way around).

"Detmar has a lot of knowledge that he loves to share. I daily use a lot of his tips in Asana. I really recommend Newbees to do this workshop asap." - 2018-05-03 07:45

"So confusing tool to use but so helpful when you finally know how to! Can't say this is totally my case but this course helped me a lot to understand the goal of its utilisation and its basic principles, it is getting clearer, thank you Detmar for your time and explanations!" - 2018-05-02 15:12

"After the Tour d'Admin I knew how I could use Admin in my advantage related to my role as Learning Advisor. Judith shares the core of what you need to know so there is no overload of information." - 2018-05-02 11:39

"Judith shared her wide experience and had a lot of helpful tips and tricks. Also the course was well structured and easy to follow, even if it's a complex topic. I would highly recommend it!" - 2018-05-02 11:15

"Really liked the training, and learned a lot from it. All the theory's were explained really nice, while there was room for interaction and exchanging experiences. The environment felt really safe, so the role playing went really well, and it was nice to get some feedback on your performance, and also learn from others. Nick is a really good trainer, who has the ability to create a safe environment where everyone feels at ease and dares to talk and ask questions." - 2018-04-30 09:42

"This well crafted training invited me to revisit some of the theories I've learned during my studies in a fun way. At first I was startled by the length, during the actual training it went by so quickly and I felt as if I wanted more. In the last part of the training the feeling of a slight overload came back, so I would advice to end that part on a high note so I leave energised next time. " - 2018-04-26 08:17

"I've now had multiple LA Mentor Sessions with Nick. His tone of voice, strategic feedback, and genuine love for teaching create a safe space in which I can achieve success. I leave a session invigorated to go out and try stuff, and always leave hyped up to start again." - 2018-04-26 08:11

"The Selling for LA's training proved to be a very valuable and interesting course. By getting acquainted with various theories such as CAPA, LSD and DOCN (among others) we were forced to rethink our own sales skills and develop news ways of going about.

Nick is a very patient teacher who really creates a safe space during the lessons and is able to give everyone a feeling of importance.

What I would have liked is maybe if it would be a bit more dynamic because besides the Role plays we were mostly just sitting and listening, so that can be improved to make the training even better." - 2018-04-26 07:32

"A combination of a lot of interaction, rol play sessions and the calming voice of Nick in the training caused a rich learning environment. Really learned a lot, want to experiment with some techniques and set new learning goals!" - 2018-04-26 06:52

"Dit was onze tweede Safari. Vorige keer zaten we in dezelfde ruimte als het overleg, nu zagen we het overleg op een scherm waardoor Anne Nynke veel uitleg kon geven aan alle aanwezigen. Zelf zijn wij al ruim een jaar met Holacracy bezig waardoor veel van deze informatie al bekend was, maar achteraf nam Anne Nynke ruim te tijd om vragen te beantwoorden en ervaringen te delen. Dit was heel fijn en heel nuttig!" - 2018-04-25 14:47

"It is always very interesting to do a LA Mentor session with Nick as a wide array of subjects can be discussed. Although the focus would normally be on sales, Nick really looks at the personal challenges and helps you tackle them." - 2018-04-24 07:25

"Jonathan taught me to communicate efficiently.

He gave ample examples, and tips in his hands-on training.

Sadly, there was one technical difficulty.

Luckily, his enthusiasm and love for telling stories made up for everything." - 2018-04-19 14:51

"Great to see how others adopt Holacracy. Definitely got some new insights from this experience! Tip for Springest in general: you seem really convinced by your way of applying Hola. Perhaps a bit too much? Always a good thing to keep broadening your horizon, as we did with this safari :)" - 2018-04-19 14:34

"Leerzame en interactieve Boostcamp met tips waar wij gelijk mee uit de voeten kunnen. On the spot kan er met je worden meegekeken en de trainers zijn erg betrokken en stralen duidelijk plezier in hun werk uit.
Thanks! " - 2018-04-19 06:00

"The Copywriting & Writing skills training - the reference training for all writers. Useful content. Dynamic delivery. Clear presentation. The training will equip you with the skills to get your message across.

Everyone writes texts so everyone should follow this training." - 2018-04-18 14:54

"Fijne meeting! Interessant om te zien hoe jullie te werk gaan. Daarnaast was de uitleg voor de meeting goed. Ook vond ik persoonlijk fijn dat tijdens de meeting werd uitgelegd wat er precies gedaan werd. Achteraf werd er veel tijd in het nabespreken gestoken wat erg leerzaam was." - 2018-04-18 13:47

"Prima sessie met een inzicht in holacracy en wat bruikbare tips & tricks. Fijne facilitator. De ontvangst zou beter kunnen, en planning wat strakker, initiele invite was tot 11u, toen moest ik zelf gaan, had graag ruimte gehad voor vragen en een goede closing. Dank!" - 2018-04-18 08:06

"It was a fun and good training. The game is simple yet effective and can be a good source of training and inspiration for people that are focused on selling. Besides that it really forces you to be empathetic and that is a helpful thing to be able to do.

Then the lesser sides: I thought the group was much to big and the communication was sometimes quite difficult during the demo" - 2018-04-17 14:43

"Gained so many insights in less than an hour. Relevant theories combined with concrete cases, served in an original way! High speed in the perfect rhythm: Jonathan's enthusiasm really was contagious! Hopefully his expertise will be too...." - 2018-04-16 12:01
