Better Future

Everyone at Better Future loves this Lunch Guest!

Be brave and sign up for the Art of Facilitation! Don’t let us convince you. Here is a testimonial by Lidyann van der Wolf, a facilitator at Flatland who participated in the program last year: "I understood and felt a connection with the theories and themes we covered on a very deep level. I also understand their nuances and subtle intricacies. I’ve transitioned from understanding theory to mastering the tools." This program is more than just learning skills—it’s a journey of personal and professional growth. Each participant brings their unique learning goals, which expert facilitators Daria Ofman and Salmaan Sana skillfully adapt to the group’s needs, creating a dynamic and supportive environment. What sets the Art of Facilitation apart? It seamlessly integrates hands-on practice with deep reflection. You’ll learn to master facilitation techniques while observing group dynamics in action, gaining insights into how your interventions shape the group process. This immersive approach allows you to grow as a professional, building both your confidence and competence. The Art of Facilitation isn’t just about theory or tools—it’s a professional playground where you can experiment, reflect, and grow. As a bonus the program takes place in the beautiful Austerlitz Forest. If you’re ready to take your facilitation skills to the next level, join us in our next cohort starting February 21st. We only have a few spots left - head to our website or email daria@better-future.nl to sign up!

What if everyone were to step into an expedition open, vulnerable, and filled with heart energy? This is exactly what a group of trailblazers at TAUW Group did last week during their first expedition around Rotterdam.

Practice what we preach! We went on our own expedition last Friday to reflect, planning, and inspiration! We kicked things off by setting our personal goals for the year. Everyone made a goal that we wrote on a champagne bottle label. With the idea that once we reach our goal we will celebrate by popping the bottle! 🍾 @Mariola Wolters joined us for a session, helping us sharpen how we share our story with the world. To wrap it all up, we watched ‘La Voix Humaine’ at Theater Mooi Weer, soaking up some creative inspiration that left us energized. #BetterFuture #Teamday #Goals #Inspiration

How do we translate the ambition of ‘climate positive by 2030’ from paper to action? One of the steps was taking a group of frontrunners from ABT bv on an exciting expedition to draw inspiration, take ownership, and become an ambassador for their 5-year strategy. Our destination? Interface, a company proving that even "unsexy" products like carpet tiles can have a truly inspiring and “sexy” story. Interface leads the way in sustainability by committing to creating carbon-negative carpet tiles—an ambitious and visionary goal. For ABT, a frontrunner in the engineering world, this visit was the perfect match for their first expedition with us. It showcased how bold innovation and sustainability can shape the future. #BetterFuture #ImpactExpedition #ABT #Engineering #ClimatePositive #Inspiration

Meet Dumisani an accidental social innovator with a story you won’t see coming. As a kid, he dreamed of becoming a hacker—just like in the movies.
