Courageous Women is a one-day incompany training to inspire women and men, learning from female examples.
Practical information:
The day is meant for both women and men:
For women who want to further develop their personal and/or formal leadership and for men who want to support this process and want to be inspired by female examples in their own leadership.
Learn from successful women
The number of female leaders is increasing. To celebrate this, Double Healix launched her online MovieLearning course Ladies in the Lead. We have already organized numerous seminars on Female Leadership, which have been received with great enthusiasm, including the major Female Leadership event in the EYE film museum Amsterdam.
The seminar addresses the question of how we can support women in, or on the way to, leadership positions. Research has repeatedly shown that women need more female role models. We can therefore conclude that – regardless of whether there is such a thing as typical female leadership – women benefit from being able to view and analyze exemplary behavior of female leaders. This involves leadership in all kinds of forms and functions.
What lessons can we learn from female leaders? What does the “imposter syndrome” look like? And how, for example, did Katharine Graham rise above this as CEO of the Washington Post? How does the journey to leadership actually go and which stages can we recognize in it? Which competencies are required?
Female role models can also inspire male leaders. It is important that men and women work together in breaking oppressive patterns. As long as society is not yet in balance, we see it as our mission to show inspiring examples of female leadership.
Do you want to gain inspiration together with others and take your leadership to a higher level? Do you want to learn for a whole day on the basis of the Double Healix Leadership Model and the most beautiful and educational movie scenes about female leadership?

The Double Healix model
The Double Healix Model offers a unique and integral vision for the development of leadership. Within this, there is focus on both the personal development of leaders, and the team, organisational, and societal context in which they operate. The model has three important components: phases, levels, and tension fields.
MovieLearning
In addition to our live training, you can enrol to the online MovieLearning course Ladies in the Lead.

What an inspiring day! I feel enriched to have been a part of this.

We completed the two MovieLearning trainings with great pleasure and success. With this highly visual way of learning, we offer our pedagogical guides a new ‘toolbox’ with various interventions for familiar parenting situations. Combined with the theoretical framework that clearly illustrates areas of tension and parenting balances, family home parents can immediately apply what they have learned to their daily practice. The impactful film clips touch you and truly immerse you in the world of children and young people with a troubled past. The guides indicate that they have learned to look more sensitively beyond certain behaviours of children and that they have gained more behavioural interventions at their disposal. I wish everyone who is professionally involved in the upbringing and development of children and young people could experience such a MovieLearning programme.

We specifically chose to do the in-company Double Healix Triple-T Team Development training, because team development based on film images has added value. Images are a lot more impactful; you recognize situations, things are easier to discuss. It sticks much better. The movie material is also specifically chosen by the trainers to fit the case you present them with.

When I get nervous and insecure before having to give a presentation, I think back to that fragment from Commander in Chief in which Geena Davis is president. Then, I feel my back stretch like she plays that role, and a vigilant calm washes over me.

Experiences of some of the participants:
– Manfred is a fascinating speaker who made me think about a lot of things!
– A lecture in which the world of opposites was poured into a practical model, as a parent it gave me direction to better interpret the world, this strengthened my relationship with myself and with others.
– Manfred sketched a holistic picture of the sustainability problem and gave good handles to deal with it on an individual level.
– Manfred takes you into his story with image fragments and appeals to all your senses and especially your feelings.
– Thanks for the beautiful evening!

Manfred van Doorn tells me in his stories that we humans should deal with the earth and the nature around us in a different way. Taking responsibility in the things that are thrown into our laps, because there is no other way. What I find particularly strong about him, among other things, is that he does not create a belief or a conviction in order to achieve change, but that he appeals to the philosophical man in you and challenges you to your deep thoughts so that you can go into your self in total freedom and determine what you think. Whatever it is, whatever you discover. And that brings real change. I would like leaders with character like Manfred van Doorn to watch over the world.

The training in the Double Healix model has brought me a great deal. Every training day brought me joy as it provided me with insights and tools. I use the model daily in various areas of life: personally, in raising my children, in coaching employees and teams, and in observing organisations. The different phases, paradoxes, and levels guide my thinking and actions, leading me to different interventions. The visual support with film clips touches deeply in the heart. A very inspiring and activating training, which also brings stillness and sparks ideas!

Enriching, in more ways than I thought possible beforehand, and maybe even in more ways than I now can think of.

Inspiring day with new insights. I now know that the Dagger phase has been my ‘blessing in disguise’. Grateful!

The first one-day training with a revenue of a whole week. A whirlwind that brings down enough dust.

The overview of all team phases and polarities in the Double Healix model made a lot of sense. Suddenly I saw who plays which role and why, in teams, in my work, but also in my private life. I now understand better why some people react aversively to each other, how they can work out their differences and find common ground. The model greatly helps me to frame this dynamic.

As the Supervisory Board of Abiant, we invest periodically in our development. After evaluation of various parties, we have chosen Double Healix as our partner. Not only because of their great development model, but also because of their inspiring people. The two-day in-company training was excellent.

Had a great Double Healix in one day! The possibilities and inspiration are vibrating through me uncontrollably! Last night I took ‘The Atlas’ (Het wiel opnieuw uitvinden, sic) out of the cellophane and opened it up. After 2 pages I was completely gripped. Groundhog Day, together with Big, is also my favorite movie. The description based on the Double Healix model was a storm of insights. Lovely! Overwhelming!
