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.—-

Thank you so much for participating!

Speaker: Gerdie van den Bergh

How to use your voice in cross-gender communication

Do you recognize one of the following situations?

You want to bring in your ideas in a meeting and your male colleague keeps interrupting you. You cannot manage to make your point while he gets all the attention. OR: You try to interrupt a colleague in a meeting but no one seems to notice you. OR: Men tend to get irritated when you speak although you say nothing wrong.

What can you do to make yourself, and your ideas, be heard by the other gender? Your voice makes the difference! Did you know that how you say something has more influence than what you say? In this workshop you will learn to use your voice as an instrument with which you direct the dynamics of communication.

PWN is going to Paris, France

Please note: this Paris Shopping Trip is open to all EPWN members, from Amsterdam and elsewhere.

Across budget ranges, Parisian clothes are of invariable quality, well tailored, highly fashionable and definitely versatile.   If you want a direct taste from Paris, 31 Million is taking you on a shopping trip to the French capital to show you firsthand what this city has to offer. You will also realize in the process that women in France do not spend more on clothes than their foreign counterparts, but simply have more choice.   

Details: From the well-established shops to the up and coming designers, we will custom-build an unforgettable itinerary for you over the weekend of October 22-24, where you will also benefit from discounts exclusive to our EuropeanPWN participants from major brands. On Saturday, October 23^rd, we will also organize an evening out together for some well-deserved downtime.

Process: After an initial phone contact, we will request you to fill a detailed form designed to better match what you are looking for with our database of shops. We then meet in Paris with all participating EuropeanPWN members. In addition, 31 Million can take care of as little or as much as you need, from your hotel reservation, collective or individual entertainment (restaurant, concert, museum, etc.), as well as transport.

Price: Eur. 300 -500 for the full weekend depending on services offered. (price excluding restaurant, transport and other fares). Contact us at info@31million.net for additional details.
