about
Buzz Women in The Netherlands offers two different programs, which we rather call experiences. Participants get the opportunity to dig deep and discover new perspectives on your personal life and the world around you, together with others.
We are building a buzzing community through our seasonal calendar that is full of inspirational events and gathering, which everyone can attend!
flagship programs
We currently have the following programs rolled out:
The Inner Power
This 3 half day training is for all women who are ready to get behind the wheel of their own life. We focus on what makes you special and create a safe space where we can learn, share and support each other.
​
What are your dreams and goals? And how are we going to achieve them?
The Gift
The Gift is a 3-day experience for women and men that makes you completely shift the way you look at yourself and the life you lead. You’ll experience that your role is not isolated but in fact fits into a larger web of social awareness and forward momentum. The Gift enables you to personalize the major themes of our time.
It helps you gain deeper insight into how you can use your inner genius, your innate fire, more authentically.
A word from our changemaker in The Netherlands
Dave Jongeneelen
What did you do before Buzz?
I was founder of Better Future, a global leadership consulting firm that helps leaders and organisations become more purposeful and impact driven.
​
Why did you start Buzz Women?
​The idea came when I was leading a leadership session in a village in The Gambia. During a break, many people from the village joined our session. Their eagerness to learn made me think: how can we reach those who don't have access to education, in particular women. The idea of bringing the school to them, rather than them going to school, was born that day.
