TRAINING COURSES

We engage scientists, researchers and engineers to express their passion for knowledge and connect & inspire others.

We do not use tips and tricks, but rather non-standard methods based on personal discovery. The training courses are an adventurous journey to discover the authentic leader, team-player, presenter or teacher in you. Each training is different as each discovery is personal. Be prepared for a vivid, inspiring and intense experience!

Check out our training courses below and find the one that suits you best!


Make your move!

Leadership is everywhere: whether you are leading a team or an organisation or leading your own PhD study or leading your career to take the next step or leading a discussion.

Discover your own formula to become the authentic leader you want to be!

AUTHENTICITY: BE YOURSELF AND ACT AS YOURSELF no matter the circumstances. Anyone else is taken!

Shine on stage!

Whatever it is, the way you tell your scientific story - online or in front of your audience - can make all the difference! We use our voice, body and energy to reach our audience. Actors do it every day. And we can do it as well, without faking it!

Discovery and curiosity is what drives us!

It is not sufficient to understand the world around us and develop a new technology; we also need to be able to share our results or present our new product. We need to be convincing and confident: whether it is a defense of a submitted proposal for new revolutionary research or finding new customers for our product.

Make it stand out: we cannot change the way our audience listens, but we can change the way we talk to engage them!

The Stralia training in preparation of a grant interview has been irreplaceable. In a 5-week program, we worked in groups, received one-on-one coaching, and used tools from theatre/improvisation to continuously perfect our presentations and Questions & Answers performance. It has been an extremely valuable experience and I recommend it to everyone.
— Michael Lerch, Assistant Professor, University of Groningen
I participated to one of the Stralia trainings. I experienced deep emotional moments. It really touched me. I felt alone when I came to the Netherlands to start my PhD, but I learned now not to be afraid to express my feelings.
— Emmanouil Archontakis, PhD student, TU Eindhoven
Following Stralia personal leadership coaching has helped me to identify and improve my leadership skills and to understand my WHY. It has equipped me with the right tools to work towards achieving my goals as a tenure tracker and to move forward in my career.
— Alina Astefanei, Tenure Tracker, University of Amsterdam
At Stralia, I have received full attention and a very personal coaching. I have learned not only how to share my personal experience as a scientist, but also to gain more confidence when in front of an audience.
— Lieve Lambrechts, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, winner of Woman Science Ambassador 2018
The ‘Leadership Starts with You’ training put a very personal mirror in front of me. Within one day a group of 5 complete strangers trans-formed to a group combining individual roles to a coherent team. The training was inspiring and gave me a lot of positive energy. I can and will use this experience to further explore and grow my leadership role in my daily profession.’
— Hans Antonissen, Project Manager at Promolding
