Being competent

Just returned from an exceptional Unicef conference in Bucharest where I joined RedZebra UK facilitating the EU Children’s Declaration on Child participation in decision- and policy-making at European Union level. 

With my speciality as a coach I’ve been asked to work with young speakers within the group of over 50 children from more than 15 different countries. But specialism didn’t cut it. This work takes more than just coaching skills and that again showed the benefit of being competent in many skills.

It’s like my personal physical training. Though I like running and am fit because of it, I want overall fit-ness, and running is just part of my CrossFit training. I’ve been doing cross fit long before there was CrossFit. It fits me and therefor is extremely effective. 

So it totally makes sense that in my profession of developing soft skills of people all over the world - regardless of age, profession or position - I combine. Having personally been involved in more than a thousand different training situations on behavioural competencies over the past 30 years, it’s very clear: sustainable effectiveness requires versatile skills.

Competence is what we need. CrossCompetent is the way.

A soft skills training method that combines communication-, professional- and personal-skills. Incorporating stress resilience, team work, leadership and solution orientation.

CrossCompetent is short, challenging, fun and very effective.
