The following is a report on the occasion of the second main event held by EuropeanPWN-Amsterdam at Amsterdam Renaissance Hotel on 4 February 2010. We thank Mary Jane Roy for her generous contribution towards this report.

The second main event of EuropeanPWN-Amsterdam for 2010 was held on 4 February 2010. The topic of the evening was: “Are you communicating what you want, secrets to interacting effectively in male-dominated environments.” We were privileged to welcome Richard Kwakernaak, founder of the Institute for Communication Psychology and Transformation (ICPT). As many as 70 members and guests met in Amsterdam for drinks, followed by Richard’s key-note address.

Richard explained that in business, on the domestic front and in our social lives, we all stand to benefit from more effective communication skills. He added that the greater your awareness is of how it all works, the more effective your communication can be.
