On a typical week
On a typical Monday morning, you start the day in our Zuidas Office in Amsterdam. You pick a desk on one of our two floors and get ready to join our weekly Learning team standup. You have already prioritized your projects for the upcoming week and are eager to jump in.
You're starting your week by sending out the last communication for launching one of the new Leadership programs for Senior Leaders in partnership with Franklin Covey the next day. You are very excited to run this program, and all key players of the regional organization are in your audience. You've already been certified for this training and had a dry run with your team, so you're ready and excited to deliver it.
Before starting your afternoon, you join your colleagues for a nice lunch or our fitness enthusiasts for a workout in the gym.
Afterward, you'll meet with our Managing Director Jelte to discuss and confirm your plans for the next quarter. You are also discussing key talent and sharing your insights on how to best support their development.
Tomorrow you'll be working from the SThree Amsterdam office on the canals in Keizersgracht, where you are running the first session of your new Leadership program. You spend the day in an interactive session with our top leaders and have engaging but challenging discussions around crucial leadership roles and competencies during the session. This program serves as a foundation for leadership across the organization. Therefore you need to get the buy-in.
The next day you are working from home. You've reserved the entire day for deep work as you would like to design your training follow-up activities. You are planning to shadow the leaders and help them implement the knowledge from the training.
On Thursday, you are meeting with our "Blueprint" commercial training team to partner on launching a new program for the leadership population in Sales and upskill them in negotiation. This project is very exciting and will impact the bottom line.
On Friday, you have a one-on-one with your manager, Alex, the Head of Learning. Later that day, you have a mid-quarter strategy update with the Learning team.
After a productive afternoon and a busy week, you're happy to close your laptop and join the team for the Friday drinks.
