Why? In the fast-paced world of leadership, challenges can be overwhelming and the journey often feels solitary. That's why our Ecosystem Leadership Network is designed to connect like-minded leaders, share wisdom on building resilient organizations, and create personal and professional breakthroughs.
​
Guided by Debbie, a seasoned expert in leadership and organizational development, you will experience a transformative blend of coaching, training, bodywork and peer learning, turning chaos into growth for both you and your organization.
The program offers a unique blend of shared wisdom, mentorship, and an ecosystem for collaborative growth and support.
What? Over the course of a year, we will meet 6 times - a total of 7 days: starting with a 2 day kick-off and concluding with a celebratory dinner. We will delve into key areas that define leadership excellence. In between sessions, you will be challenged with short individual or team assignments.
Goal? Break through your leadership limitations, find your edge and learn to build ecosystems to thrive in chaos.
When? Cohort 2024: Start in October 2024. Cohort 2025: Start in April 2025.

Hof te Hamme, a classified historical farm northwest of Brussels, has a rich history dating back to a Frankish settlement in the 600s. Legend has it to be the birthplace of Saint Gudula, the patron saint of Brussels, associated with miraculous healings. It is a place that speaks to your imagination.
