For almost twenty years Bert Wiskie has assisted foreign impats in the Netherlands in setting their first steps in their new working environment as well as in socializing with the Dutch.
Expats in the Netherlands
Amsterdam alone hosts more than 40.000 registered expats who greatly contribute to the city’s economy. Many of them have surprising experiences with the locals. Foreigners realise that it is not easy to go along with the Dutch and their often very particular behaviour, mindset and ideas. To put it in a Dutch way and therefore bluntly: the Dutch are different….
Training
With the toolbox and the training of Bert Wiskie you will get familiar with the Dutch as no one else. Equipped with a lot of international insights, longterm cosmopolitan experience and his profound knowledge of Dutch culture he is your ideal partner.
Clients
Among Bert’s clients are multinational companies, various governments, Dutch departments/ministries, international organisations as well as hundreds of individuals. He has accompanied more than 300 Dutch expats and more than 150 impats in the Netherlands for a broad array of multinational and medium sized companies.
The Expats-toolbox
The toolbox consists of three elements:
– briefing and training ‘how to deal with the Dutch’ 2,5 hours
– a visit to the Rijksmuseum 1,5 hours
– a walk through the city of Amsterdam 1,5 hours
You can choose one or more individual parts of the programme or any combination that you prefer.
The result
In less than six hours you learn to understand the Dutch. By then you are familiar with the character, behaviour and mindset of the local population.
Groups
Group trainings are among Bert Wiskie’s most popular instruction tools. The very entertaining in-corporate show ‘How to become Dutch within 60 minutes!” is a mind-opener. Interactively, with short clips and remarkable examples…After 60 minutes you have learned more about the Dutch than you could have imagined. In a playish way – the Dutch Way – you have become sensitive to and aware of the many facets of Dutch behaviour.
