Amsterdam Mentors & Mentees,

We have greatly profited from your survey input this fall and have consequently set into motion several new initiatives. We’d like to invite you all to come meet with us in Amsterdam 18 April, 2011. We have reserved a room on the 6th floor of the Amsterdam Public Library (OBA) next to the Amsterdam Central Station.

I will be arriving from Leeuwarden – and will be at 6 pm in the La Place Restaurant on the 7th floor of the Library. Early birds are welcome to join me for dinner. Our program will begin by 19:15 on the 6th floor and end promptly by 21:30. (The library doors close at 22 uur).

We will bring you up-to-date on our meetings in Madrid from February 2011 and initiate our local mentor/mentee matching here in Amsterdam. If you are joining us as a mentor for the first time, we request you fill in our mentor profile. If you are looking for a mentor in Amsterdam, please complete the mentee profile. Both are available to download from the mentoring group on the members platform.

If you are already participating in the pilot Pan-European program – you are also welcome to join us and to share your experiences to date.

Looking forward to catching up!

Cheers from Friesland,

Anna

This is the second of the mentoring group “zzp & entrepreneurs” workshops facilitated by Eleonore Breukel.

Judith Webber formerly of the zzp-adviescafe will facilitate the second in a series of group discussions.

Monday 4 October we have reserved Carmiggelt‐zaal in the Openbare Biblioteek Amsterdam (Oosterdokskade 143; 1011DL).  The Carmiggelt conference room is located on the 6^th floor of the Library next door to Amstedam Central Station (across from the floating Chinese Restaurant).

Judith Webber

Judith’s core business www.purehuman.nl is to inspire entrepreneurs to show more of themselves to the world: especially the reason why you started your particular business, this says something about you! Customers choose you not only only for what you do; they choose you for who you are, and what you mean to them. “Entrepreneurship is connected to you as a person, it is impossible to separate it”, according to Judith.

In small groups she will inspire and stimulate you to help each other in what you find most difficult in your business. There is always someone there who is totally passionate about that piece.

Everybody leaves the room with new ideas and questions to work out later.

Judith is the author of “Laat jezelf zien” (show yourself) which will come into the market in October 2010.

—-Judiths’ new organization PureHuman www.purehuman.nl started as an idea which was born while talking to ZZP-ers at ZZP-Adviescafe.—-

Speaker: Edith Punt

Organizer: Eleonore Breukel

We started off the year with a fresh batch of mentors and mentees.  We had some excellent results.  New jobs have been landed.  Professional development in a present position and in a new business development are well on their way…

We’d like to welcome mentors, mentees and everyone interested in the mentoring process. Edith Punt will provide us with a mentoring model and invite mentors and mentees to discuss their mentoring progression and to provide insight to others considering becoming a mentor.  We will also start collecting mentor/mentee applications over the summer for our second round of matching to begin this fall.

This workshop will be facilitated by EuropeanPWN-Amsterdam member Edith Punt.

In 1985 Edith started her career as a human resources consultant in Bangkok, Thailand. Upon her return to the Netherlands (1995) she initially worked as a trainer/consultant with a focus on appraisal systems (Breda). Later she joined an international headhunter in Amsterdam. In January 1999 she started her own agency in Amsterdam. Her services focus on diversity and crosscultural management. She applies different systems to make individuals aware of their preferred styles of behaviour and patterns in decision making, against the backdrop of organizational goals and team dynamics. Since January 2003 she operates from Zwolle.

Participants are welcome to network from 19:00 to 20:00. The program begins at 20:00.

Registration and Guest Policy: Registration is required for members (no charge) and guests (guests are welcome at a cost of 25 Euro which includes snacks and drinks). Guests are allowed to attend two EuropeanPWN-Amsterdam functions per year. Please contact Caroline van Leuven, our VP Membership.

Please keep in mind participation in the mentoring program is for MEMBERS ONLY.

The venue is arranged. Eleonore is flying back the day before. The website should be “ready” for show and tell…(sorry my html is a bit rusty and it’s taking a bit more time than I planned. I struggled for far too long yesterday on the Table of Contents – it’s almost done).

This is a member only event – so there is no guest registration.

Please join us at the Renaissance Hotel on 16 December for an overview of the mentoring program, to fill in your mentor/mentee profile, and to work toward your perfect mentoring match.

This year we also have a possibilty to work with other EuropeanPWN networks to share with their excess mentor’s & mentees. All kinds of new possibilities exist for 2010! Come hear about them.

Folks that pre-register will be sent a link to the new Mentoring workbook that we’ve been working on so you’ll have a chance to read up a bit before we begin on the 16th.

Anna’s also promised to bake some of her xmas cookies so save some room for dessert.

Gone already on the 16th – don’t worry. Send me an email and I’ll fill you in in January.
