Personal Leadership Program

Summer Academy 2026

Join us this summer for the two-day Personal Leadership Program "More Impact Without Exhaustion". A balanced summer boost in personal leadership. Take a personal growth leap this summer, so you return after your vacation with a clear compass, more courage, and concrete actions for greater impact.

Life Line & Values

Discover your history and core values through the “kitchen table exercise.” Connect your past with your future.

Patterns & Barriers

Explore automatic reactions, beliefs, and habits.
Create space for more conscious leadership.

Inspiration & Focus

Clarify your personal development goal. Move from insight to a concrete action plan for growth.

Is this for you?

Maybe you recognize this:

You often say yes, even when you actually mean no

You carry more than is yours, at work and at home

You are always “on” and find it hard to switch off

You create impact, but your recovery falls behind

You are strong for others… and strict with yourself

What will 2 days of Impact withoutburnout deliver?

Impact doesn’t have to be exhausting. It becomes exhausting when you don’t take ownership and direction.

After 2 days you will be able to:

take ownership without taking everything on yourself

make choices based on values and energy (not guilt)

communicate boundaries clearly and kindly

recognize stress signals early and adjust before it’s too late

increase impact through focus, agreements, and realistic accountability

start working with a concrete behavioral action plan for after the summer

What others say:

I found the training good, open, and safe. There was attention for everyone. What appealed to me most was the variation and movement.”

Anouk V., HR Advisor

There was a strong sense of safety from both the trainer and the group. What stood out to me was the space to properly discuss topics that regularly came up.”

Gemma B., Senior Project Leader

Allard knows how to create a safe environment, took the time for what was needed at that moment, and adapted accordingly. In addition, he has a lot of knowledge in the areas of learning to collaborate and using positive communication. Since I had a very positive experience with Allard, I highly recommend him.”

Kelly M., Regional Manager

Program Structure

Summer Academy 2026

1. Insight into Patterns

What do you do when things become tense?
People-pleasing, pushing through, procrastinating, minimizing yourself… or overcompensating.

You will discover:


your automatic reaction (and why it once helped)
your signals of stress and overload (head–heart–body)
your impact pitfall: where your strength goes too far

2. Ownership: responsibilitywithout taking over

Here we make it practical:


what is mine / what belongs to the other?

how do I give responsibility back without irritation?

how do I make agreements that fit time and energy?

You practice:

saying no without an explanation marathon

clearly asking for support

exercising influence

3. Impact without burnout: your sustainable rhythm

Impact becomes sustainable when you take focus and recovery seriously.

You build:

your energy compass (what nourishes you?)

insight into what must, what may, and what stops

one 14-day behavior experiment that makes an immediate difference

Our approach

We work the way life is: sometimes clear, sometimes messy, often busy.

That’s why we make it experiential: practice, reflect, apply. With humor where possible and depth where needed.

You don’t go home with only insights, but with behavior you can implement immediately after the training.

Integration (because insight is nice, behavior is better)

  • buddy check: check-in after 10 days

  • short online pitstop (30 minutes)

  • you choose and carry out 1 experiment:
    one conversation, one boundary, one choice

So it doesn’t remain: “Great training. Then back to the usual chaos!”

This 2-day training is NOT suitable if…

  • you mainly want tips to cram even more into the same week

  • you don’t feel willing to honestly look at your own role

  • you are mainly looking for confirmation that you are already “doing it right”

For Whom & When

For professionals who want to make more impact.Who want to take ownership of their work, life, and leadership.For organizations that choose healthy, sustainably employable employees.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this therapy?

No, this is training. We work with recongnizable patterns and choices, but always with a focus on: what will you do differently starting tomorrow? If something personal comes up, that's ok. We keep it practical and safe.

2. What if I find it uncomfortable in a group?

That's a very normal concern and you’re not the only one.

We work in a small group (maximum 15 people), and you decide yourself what you share.
You can practice new behaviors without having to put your whole life story on the table.

3. Do I need to talk a lot?

You will definitely talk, but mostly you will do things. Think: short reflections, smart exercises, and practicing with situations you recognize (work and private life).

4. Is it mainly business-focused or also applicable privately?

Both. Ownership is about you: choices, boundaries, responsibility, inner calm.

It works in meetings… and at the kitchen table.

5. What do I concretely take home?
  • your personal ownership compass (1 A4 page)

  • 3 sentences that fit you for boundaries/choices

  • one behavior experiment for 14 days (with a clear plan)

In short: not a folder full of paper, but something you will actually use.

6. I’m afraid I’ll “fall back into old patterns.” What then?

That’s why we build it smartly: you choose one achievable experiment and make it small enough to sustain. (And if you add a pitstop/buddy — even better.) Relapse is not failure; it is data.

7. Is this suitable if I’ve already done many trainings?

Exactly then. We focus less on “yet another insight” and more on: choose, practice, apply. Many participants say: “Finally something that sticks.”

8. How intensive is it?

Energetic, but manageable. You work with real situations, so it can be impactful. We ensure space for air, humor, and safety. You go home with more calm than when you arrived.

9. What if I’m unsure whether this fits me?

Plan a short introductory meeting. Then we look together at whether this is your next step. Sometimes the answer is simply: not now and that is also ownership. 🙂

Curious if this training is right for you?

We know, it is quite an investment.
