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

SUMMARY:Stop collecting AI tools. Start building AI skills that actually compound
DESCRIPTION:Stop collecting AI tools. Start building AI skills that actually compound\n\n\nMost marketers know how to use ChatGPT. Very few have developed the skills that turn AI into a real competitive advantage. This webinar breaks down the 5 that matter most.\n\n\n\nHosted by Yannick Khayati & Nick Van Walleghem\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvery marketer is “using AI” now. But there is a massive gap between copying prompts from Twitter and actually knowing how to work with AI as a core skill.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe tools keep changing. The platforms keep multiplying. But the marketers who win are not the ones with the most subscriptions. They are the ones who have developed a real skillset around AI\, one that works regardless of which tool is trending this week. \nIn this live webinar\, we break down the 5 skills every AI marketer needs to develop. Not tools. Not hacks. \nSkills

SUMMARY:The PDF lead magnet is dead. Build interactive ones with AI instead.
DESCRIPTION:The PDF lead magnet is dead. Build interactive ones with AI instead.\n\n\nIn one hour\, we will show you how to build your own interactive lead magnets using AI tools like Claude Code and Lovable. No technical knowledge required. No developers needed. Just a better way to capture and convert leads.\n\n\n\nHosted by Yannick Khayati & Nick Van Walleghem\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLet’s be honest. Nobody is excited about downloading another PDF.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour audience has seen enough checklists\, whitepapers\, and “ultimate guides” to last a lifetime. They fill in their email\, download the file\, and never open it. That is not a lead magnet. That is a dead end. \nThe marketers who are winning right now are building interactive lead magnets. Tools\, calculators\, quizzes\, assessments\, mini-apps. Things that deliver real value the moment someone uses them. And thanks to AI\, you do not need a developer to build them. \nIn this live webinar\, we show you exactly how to do it. Step by step. In one hour

SUMMARY:What clients really look for when hiring freelancers - Freelancers in Belgium PRO –  Grow your freelance business sessions
DESCRIPTION:You send a great message. You hear nothing.\nYou send a proposal. They go with someone else. \nWhat’s happening on the other side? \nBart De Waele has spent years on both sides of that equation. He helps companies find and select freelancers and agencies – and he works closely with agencies themselves on how they pitch\, position and win work. He was in the rooms where decisions get made\, and in the rooms where proposals get built. He saw which profiles got dismissed in seconds – and why. And which freelancers and agencies kept getting called back\, without ever knowing what they were doing right. \nAt this meetup\, he’ll take you inside the client’s head: how assignments are actually shaped internally\, what a first message does or doesn’t do\, how clients compare during the decision stage\, and what makes a freelancer unforgettable – or replaceable. \nNo theory. Just the inside view of the selection process\, from someone who’s sat at every table. \nBring your own cases. An outreach message you’re not sure about. A pricing question. A client situation you can’t figure out. Most of this is Q&A – Bart reviews live and gives direct feedback. \nFreelancers in Belgium PRO – Grow your freelance business sessions\nWe meet online every month (and occasionally in person) for practical marketing workshops focused on helping freelancers increase their visibility\, strengthen their positioning\, attract better clients\, and build sustainable opportunities.\nTopics include\, for example: \n\nPersonal branding and visibility\nLinkedIn and content strategy\nPositioning and niche\nCommunicating your offer clearly\nPricing\nFinding clients without feeling salesy\n\nThese sessions are designed for freelancers of all professions. \nHost\nEach session is hosted by Jenny Björklöf\, founder and community leader of Freelancers in Belgium.
