I attended an ENERGY8 teaser session. I learned new ways to use energy in teams, project and organizations. It was very inspiring to see that energy can be canalised as a group by simple means that we used in the workshop. Also I learned that by staying close to peoples and own drives, positive energy can easily be used for shared visions and goals. It is easy to get to know people by talking about what gives energy (in stead of talking about resumes). Focus on what is, here and present, and use the positive energy to move forward.

Vond de ENERGY8 training super. Al mijn verwachtingen werden ingelost. Zowel methodologische diepgang als pragmatische gebruik netjes in balans. Proficiat. Is slappe koord zo’n training om iedereen tevreden te kunnen stellen. Maar vond het absoluut geslaagd.

I attended the one-day ENERGY8 training a few months ago with my team colleagues. It was fantastic to experience how simple and effective this tool is. Through the execution we could see and recognize what was driving us forward as a team, and also as individuals. Very powerful way to create positive and renewing dialogue.

I have just returned from an ENERGY8-training in Holland. What I liked very much about ENERGY8:
- It is all about the ‘taste’ of various types of energy in organizations and in the groups and individuals in these organizations (the model derives 8 energy patterns from Jung’s concept of archetypes).
- Facilitators are very good. Even if they make a survey they do NOT interpret the data for the people, but facilitate the process of interpretation by the people.
- From an ENERGY8 point of view organizations are organisms full of energy, they are organisms in which various types of energy are vibrating in resonance or dissonance.
- The process that is facilitated might be very small (small group) or quite big 1000++.
- They do not discuss but dialogue during the whole process. And although a experienced faciitator can certainly bring the process to a ‘deeper level’, the basic setup is easy enough that it seems to ‘always work’.

Great model to initiate action, without extensive and time consuming consultancy.

An inspiring integration of spirituality, energy, system theory, organisations and people. Very special!

ENERGY8 is a great tool to map the needs and expectations in teams and organisations. A fantastic fundament for dialogue.
