Leafs are falling, days are becoming shorter. 2013 is coming to an end. Time for the necessary end-of-the-year reflection.

Progress is important. Solving problems or addressing issues is one way to speed things up and move forward in your career. A full conference room not always the ideal place to do this in. That is why the coaches and experts present will offer free coaching and/or consultant sessions during the day. Please indicate on the registration form on our website if and why you are interested in a private coaching session on work related matters.   

Participating in this event is free. Registration is closed.  

NIAS is situated in the residential area of “Rijksdorp”, located between the beach and the village of Wassenaar. Transportation to and from the venue will be provided.
