Practical, engaging training designed for the modern workplace

My training sessions are high-energy, practical and super interactive

Here's what I Do

Just like my approach to keynote speaking, my training is highly interactive, user-focused, and rooted in first-hand, real-world experience. Whether in-person or online, every session is designed to be engaging, relevant, and immediately applicable to the challenges management support professionals face today.

Executive Assistant training with Workplace Insights by Adrie van der Luijt.

Engaging sessions

Training should be more than just a series of slides and lectures. It should be interactive, relevant, and tailored to real-world challenges. That’s the approach I bring to every training session.

Like my public speaking, my training is based on user needs. I work closely with participants to understand their challenges and priorities, ensuring that every session is practical, engaging and immediately useful.

Interactive learning

Rather than delivering generic, one-size-fits-all content, my training draws on real-life scenarios, case studies and hands-on exercises to create an interactive learning experience.

Whether it’s about navigating workplace change, leveraging AI effectively or developing critical thinking skills, my training equips management support professionals with the tools and confidence to thrive.
