For the BAM Graduate Program, De Droomfabriek has been providing the personal leadership program within the traineeship for many years. BAM was looking for a partner to help young professionals grow both professionally and personally. Through reflection, practical experience, and group learning, trainees develop the confidence, leadership, and ownership needed to give conscious direction to their role and impact within BAM. The collaboration is characterized by a personal approach, space for reflection, and a beautiful environment that invites one to slow down every now and then. Thanks to experienced facilitators who know how to quickly get to the core, participants feel seen, challenged, and empowered in their development. It is for good reason that the program is consistently rated as one of the most impactful parts of their two-year development trajectory.
The coaching from De Droomfabriek helped me see the difference between building a career and making a real impact, an insight that ultimately contributed to the founding and growth of goodberries. With personal and team coaching that is sharp, practical, and grounded in real entrepreneurial experience, they helped us gain sharper focus and operate more strongly from a shared ambition. The result is an entrepreneurial, engaged, and tight-knit leadership team building towards our mission with confidence. What characterizes the collaboration is the combination of sharpness, customization, and lasting impact.
Amid global unrest, increasing uncertainty, and rapid shifts, the international development sector is going through a major transformation. For SNV, strengthening leadership and collaboration is essential in this process. De Droomfabriek supports us in functioning more effectively as a leadership team, developing the skills needed to guide the organization, and finding new ways of working together. What characterizes the collaboration is the combination of empathy and sharpness, head and heart. Their guidance helps us lead today’s and tomorrow’s changes with greater clarity, connection, and courage.
De Droomfabriek has helped me as an executive to further develop my leadership in a complex and politically sensitive environment. With sharp insights and practical coaching, they help bring complex issues back to their essence and make conscious choices. The result: more peace of mind, stronger decision-making, better balance, and a leadership style that aligns better with who I am. What characterizes the collaboration is the combination of trust, sharpness, and continuous development.
People who grow in impact.
And organizations building sustainable
leadership. That is what we work on.
For Achmea’s Management Traineeship and Young Talent Program, De Droomfabriek provides the personal leadership program. Achmea was looking for a partner to help young professionals get to know themselves better and develop into authentic leaders who can collaborate effectively within a complex organization. In an open and safe learning environment, participants work on self-insight, personal leadership, and strengthening their impact, with reflection, practice, and shared learning at the core. We see this development reflected in how trainees take on assignments, collaborate, and grow into new roles within Achmea.
De Droomfabriek is a valuable sounding board for two key programs at NS: the traineeship and the track for new managers. Across operational, tactical, and strategic levels. They provide a powerful boost to both the development of individual participants and the groups as a whole. With their goal-oriented approach, they make a essential contribution to the sustainable impact and embedding of both programs within NS. What characterizes our collaboration is keeping each other sharp and driving continuous improvement.
As a management team, we wanted to learn to lead the organization together, but knew we had to work on ourselves as a team first. De Droomfabriek helped us step by step to uncover what was truly going on. No standard program, but always aligned with our reality. The result: an MT that trusts one another, engages in constructive conflict, and is open and honest with each other. Session after session adds a new layer, continuing to keep us sharp long after.
We were lost in responsibilities: who is driving what, and who is taking ownership? De Droomfabriek made what was really going on in the team and organization visible and manageable through practical models and tools. With a special combination of lightness, humor, sharpness, and depth, they helped us hold the necessary challenging conversations together. Together, we clarified everyone’s role and how to be more effective as a team. That resulted in greater ownership, less passing the buck, and much more clarity across the organization.
