Frequently asked questions
You are a director, manager, specialist, teacher, psychologist, researcher, consultant, trainer, coach, manager or another experienced professional who is deeply motivated to take the next step in his/her personal and professional development.
Participants come from various backgrounds, industries and professions. They find it self-evident that professional deepening goes hand in hand with personal reflection and the development of a vision on humanity and current social developments. They are motivated to discover more coherence between the personal and the larger themes in groups, organizations and the world around them. The cross-inspiration between different fields of work is always experienced as very valuable by participants in previous trainings.
Together with you we will gladly investigate whether this course is suitable for you. The intake will be by phone.
The Double Healix model is based on narrative psychology and works like a map with which you can travel. From this theoretical framework you look at yourself and the world as a challenging story. The biographical depth encountered during the course helps you to strengthen your inner compass. On the basis of a universal human narrative structure you can see where you come from, what your development has been, but also where you are going (and want to go) as a person and as a professional. You deepen your ability to perceive and empathize, making you better equipped to recognize recurring universal patterns. We practise this by means of inspiring (film) examples so that you can also recognize, predict, and where desired break patterns in your own world (together with colleagues, your team, organizations and society).

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.
Listen to the findings of one of the participants.
MovieLearning
The MovieLearning Foundation aims to promote an Ecology of Meaning. We do this through an interactive learning environment based on film images and stories. In this way, the MovieLearning Foundation promotes inclusivity in thinking and acting, empathetic scope, and sustainability.

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.

The first one-day training with a revenue of a whole week. A whirlwind that brings down enough dust.
Jeroen Kaldenhoven
Ministerie van BZK - MD programma-manager, teamcoach
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.

How I enjoyed it! A nice balance between information, inspiration, knowledge sharing and frank collective learning. All this on the basis of images from movies and role models. That made it all come to life much faster. Awesome!

During my management training at Rabobank I followed a training from Manfred van Doorn. I was deeply impressed by his stories and the MovieLearning approach.

I really appreciated the various training courses Manfred van Doorn gave at Guidion as well as the Double Healix course that I followed afterwards.

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!
