Instructor, Levels 1-2, Elder
Amsterdam, Netherlands
info@christienoudshoorn.nl
As a facilitator, Christien has had the privilege of living and working in over 10 countries. She’s fascinated by people, and how we find different answers to those big universal questions: how do we deal with differences? How do we navigate power? How do we transform conflict? I believe that sincere listening, both to others and to ourselves is key to moving forward. Christien aims to be both brave and humble in the face of conflict. By identifying patterns in the communication, she can propose alternative pathways to better connect. Christien works in Dutch, English, Spanish and French.

Inge Smak-Hemmes
Instructor, Levels 1-2 and CoResolve
Doorn, Netherlands
info@ingesmak.com
Inge loves to work with team leaders who want to make a change. She helps the teams to look for insights in the chaos of change so they can move forward. She facilitates lively and profound conversation. By paying attention to all people, opinions and emotions, she creates meetings in which openness is created. Team leaders often say that when Inge stands next to people they see them grow. Inge does not only listen to the words that are being spoken but also uses the wisdom of the body (Embodied learning). When all information is on the table, the team can make conscious choices about what should remain the same and what will be different. Ownership for the change thus comes from within and not just from the team leader. ‘Together we can move mountains’ is what she aimes for.

Lian Nijenhuis
Procesbegeleider- Strategie en complexe besluitvorming - Participatie & Transitie - Onderwijs at Deep Democracy Noord
Level 1 Instructor, Accredited Facilitator
Friesland, Netherlands
lian@deepdemocracynoord.nl
Deep Democracy Noord staat voor de werkelijke ontmoeting. Voor Noordelijke nuchterheid. Met beide benen op de grond. Voor verbinding met elkaar. Voor leren van elkaars verschillen. Iedereen heeft zijn eigen geluid, toonhoogte, volume en kleur. Wij nodigen je uit om dit te tonen én nieuwsgierig te zijn naar alle andere geluiden; ook als die heel anders zijn dan de jouwe. Door ruimte te geven aan alles wat er is, leren we jou je eigen stem te vinden en te luisteren naar wat een ander te zeggen heeft. We hebben ook allemaal ons eigen ritme. Zo heeft de één heeft het hart op de tong en is de ander meer bedachtzaam. De één is meer haantje de voorste, terwijl de ander de kat uit de boom kijkt. De één heeft snel zijn mening klaar, terwijl de ander blijft wikken en wegen.
Door aandacht te hebben voor ons eigen ritme én dat van de ander wordt helder in hoeverre ritmes op elkaar aansluiten of juist conflict veroorzaken. Wij ondersteunen jullie in het vinden van een gezamenlijk ritme zodat er meer flow ontstaat in de samenwerking en er rijkere besluiten genomen kunnen worden. Dit doen wij door Deep Democracy in het Noorden te verspreiden. Thuis, op school, in de wijk, op het werk of in politiek en bestuur. Door zelf te faciliteren én door anderen de tools te leren. Maar ook door professionals in Noord Nederland die vanuit het Deep Democracy gedachtengoed werken met elkaar te verbinden.
Vanuit de drive om continu te leren van en met elkaar hebben wij een Noordelijk netwerk opgezet. Een ontmoetings- en werkplaats waar je inspiratie, ideeën en adviezen kunt halen en brengen. En soms elkaar een duwtje in de rug kan geven om vanuit vertrouwen de tools van Deep Democracy te hanteren. Zo kunnen we met elkaar goede gesprekken en betere besluitvorming bewerkstelligen.

Maud Verheij
Healthcare and Non-profit Doctorandus at Maud Verheji, Corporate Anthropologist
Accredited Facilitator
info@maudverheij.nl
It can be strangely obvious, looking into an organization from the outside in, and vice versa. That's what organizational anthropologists do. What seems 'strange' one moment is completely self-evident the next and vice versa. This change of perspective brings movement where it is needed. Maud takes her clients on a journey of observing their environment, and likes to use methods of Deep Democracy.
Maud observes everyone in a group, even the outsiders, listening to what is going and allowing for everything to be said, including the voices the organisation wants to be there for, to bring out unheard wisdom. Unobstructed, without judgment, Maud identifies everything that strikes her as an outsider, while at the same time putting herself in the position of an insider. Solicited and unsolicited, she gives advice on what a group can do or not do to flourish.
“Listening is central. I have an eye for detail as well as the whole.”

Stephanie van Rossum
Dialogue facilitator, (team) coach and trainer in the field of personal, leadership and team development
CoResolve Instructor, Check-in Wave Instructor/Facilitator, Accredited Facilitator
CoResolvers,
Utrecht.
My mission is to let the love and inspiration within organizations flow again. I have a strong drive to trigger groups and teams to move beyond feeling stuck by creating more transparency within the group to help them discover their own potential and wisdom. I know how to create a safe and permissive environment in which awareness can be raised and new experiences can be gathered.
People want to change but not be forced into change. I believe that for change to be successful, it is crucial besides clarity that people are involved and that everyone's voice is being heard. In working with groups and changes, my attention and energy are focused on the people.
In my work I tap from my extensive experience with Deep Democracy, Process Work, Systemic Work and Transactional Analysis. I guide groups and their leaders towards unlocking their potential. I train leaders in having more open conversations with their teams and people, help them recognize and resolve conflicts at an early stage and make better and inclusive decisions because of that. To me that strengthens and drives leadership within the entire team, ready to face and overcome any future challenge on their path.
