SUMMARY:HR Challengers — How does HR stop being a service team?
DESCRIPTION:Many HR teams are built around traditional roles\, long project cycles\, and rigid processes. We respond to requests. We run initiatives. But we rarely design like builders or work like strategic partners.\n\n\n\n\nMeanwhile\, other teams are moving fast: testing\, iterating\, creating value visibly. \nThis session is about rethinking how HR creates impact. What if we started organising like a product team? You’ll exchange with peers on how to shift away from service delivery toward proactive design – through sprints\, feedback loops\, and value-based prioritisation. \nHost Isabeau\, has made this shift at Loop Earplugs. She has reshaped the people team with product thinking and agile principles – and getting results faster\, with more impact. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Turn your LinkedIn into a client pipeline in 4 hours
DESCRIPTION:You know you should be visible on LinkedIn. But finding the time: and the courage: to actually hit “publish” is a different story.\nMany freelancers remain stuck in the expert paradox: you have valuable skills and experience\, but the right clients never find you. Posting occasionally without a clear system rarely leads to real opportunities.\n\nThis workshop helps you turn LinkedIn into a structured client pipeline instead of a place where you occasionally update your CV or post without results. \nThis is not a seminar where you sit and listen. This is a “Laptops Open” Sprint. You will improve your profile\, define your content strategy and take concrete steps toward becoming visible\, with expert guidance and peer support. \n\nWhat you will accomplish in 4 hours: \n\n– Build a LinkedIn profile that attracts clients\nYour LinkedIn profile should do more than list your experience. It should clearly communicate who you help and why clients should contact you. \nIn this session you will: \n\nFix your positioning using the Unique Value Zone formula (Skill + Audience + Unique Angle)\nImprove your LinkedIn headline and About section\nMake your profile easier to understand and more relevant for potential clients\n\n  \n– Create and plan your LinkedIn content\nYou will set up a simple and realistic content workflow that fits into a busy freelance schedule. Instead of constantly searching for inspiration\, you will learn how to turn your daily work and client conversations into relevant LinkedIn content. \nIn this session you will:  \n\nDefine a clear direction for your LinkedIn content\nSet up your 60-minute content factory so you can plan content efficiently\nPrepare your first LinkedIn posts & define your first month of content topics\n\n  \n– Start building your client pipeline\nThis workshop is designed for action. You won’t just plan your LinkedIn strategy. You will actually start building your client pipeline. \nDuring the workshop you will: \n\nIdentify the types of clients and profiles you want to connect \nSend targeted connection requests to ideal clients using the Flintstoning method\, a personal and authentic way to connect without feeling spammy\nTake your first concrete steps toward a consistent LinkedIn outreach routine. You will leave with real conversations started and a client pipeline already in motion.\n\n\nYou will work alongside fellow freelancers who are going through the same process.\nBesides expert guidance\, you will learn from each other by sharing ideas\, giving feedback and seeing how other freelancers position themselves and approach LinkedIn. This often makes it easier to move forward and gives you new ideas you wouldn’t have thought of on your own. \n\n\nTickets:\n\nFiBe PRO Members: Discount Access €49 . Join PRO for €24.90 a month or €250 a year. Get the discount code in the event on the platform. PRO is a membership where you connect with other freelancers through monthly networking events and learn about topics helping you advance as an independent professional. \nNon-Members: €199 (excl. VAT)\nTickets available here.\n\nBonus: All attendees receive a physical copy of the handbook “Personal Branding like a PRO“ (worth € 34.99) included in the ticket. \nTrainer: \nClo WillaertsDigital Marketing Expert.Author\, consultant\, speaker and trainer. \nWith more than 20 years of experience in digital marketing and technology\, Clo helps professionals and organizations build strong personal brands and make confident decisions in a fast-changing digital world. \nAuthor of Personal Branding like a PRO\, a practical system for turning visibility into clients and revenue. \n  \nOrganiser:\nFreelancers in Belgium\n17000+ member strong  community connecting freelancers to share best practices\, tips and resources for starting and running a freelance business better.\n– Join our free FB group Freelancers in Belgium\n– Subscribe to our free newsletter\n– Join one of our events.\nCheck out www.freelancersinbelgium.be \n
