SUMMARY:Workshop: ervaar de superkracht als ondernemer met een turbobrein 🧠
DESCRIPTION:Ben jij iemand met een turbobrein (dat brein dat altijd en overal op volle toeren draait)?\nOp bovenstaande data hosten we een informele workshop: “Ervaar de superkracht als ondernemer met een turbobrein” samen met de Turbobreinen familie\, met Patricia De Bruycker aan het roer. We spreken transparant en zonder labels over dit onderwerp. \nWe gaan aan de slag met een stuk psycho-educatie door Dr. Debbie Baute en Patricia De Bruycker met praktische inzichten rond de impact van AD(H)D\, hoogbegaafdheid\, hoogsensitiviteit\, autisme\,…) op ondernemen! \nHet doel is dat jij buiten stapt met heldere strategieën en manieren om jouw neuro-divergentie nog beter om te zetten als ondernemer. In het tweede deel delen we in kleine groepjes (herkenbare) ervaringen met elkaar onder begeleiding van de verschillende facilitatoren. Je bent niet alleen.

SUMMARY:Dealing with imposter syndrome\, low confidence\, and perfectionism - Freelancers in Belgium PRO Business Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Even experienced freelancers sometimes doubt their abilities\, compare themselves to others\, or hold themselves back with overly high standards. In this session\, we explore how imposter feelings show up in freelance life\, how to recognise when perfectionism becomes unhelpful\, and what to do when self-doubt keeps you from being visible\, confident\, and consistent in how you show up professionally. \nExpect an honest and supportive conversation with fellow freelancers\, combined with practical reflections and ideas you can immediately apply. The focus is not on “fixing yourself”\, but on understanding these patterns\, normalising them\, and learning how to move forward with more confidence and ease. \nAbout the formatThis is a Freelancers in Belgium PRO Business Roundtable: an interactive online session where freelancers openly share challenges\, experiences\, and practical approaches in a safe\, peer-to-peer setting. \nWe meet online every month on a Friday to discuss real freelance challenges and exchange practical advice. Each session is hosted by Freelancers in Belgium founder and community leader Jenny Björklöf\, who brings insights from her own freelance journey and from running a community of over 17\,000 freelancers. Some sessions also include guest experts who add their perspective to the discussion. \nAccessThis event is exclusively for Freelancers in Belgium PRO members.You can join PRO for one month (€24.90) to attend this session and access the full platform. After joining\, you can RSVP for the event. \nLearn more and join here: www.freelancersinbelgium.be/pro

One that fits your team\, your workflows\, and your business goals. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
