•OnlineAll About The 30% Ruling & Dutch Highly Skilled Migrant Visa
OnlineThe Netherlands boasts one of the world’s most advanced, modern and diverse economies. Its GDP is nearing 1.2 trillion USD, with no end to the growth in sight. As a result, the Dutch constantly require skilled talent and are in competition with other countries looking to attract and retain talent. However, with only 18 million inhabitants, this tiny country needs help to support its growth. Hence the creation of the highly skilled migrant visa (HSM) and 30% ruling. These are designed to fast-track and entice immigration of well-paid and highly skilled talent (“Kennistalent”) from around the globe to support Dutch companies and the Dutch economy.
In this webinar, we delve into the world of the highly skilled migrant visa & 30% ruling and how you can use it to live in what we feel is one of the best countries on earth!
In this webinar, we’ll discuss the following:
- What the highly skilled migrant visa & 30% ruling are
- Conditions eligibility and requirements
- Application procedure
- Specific circumstances & late applications
- Accepting a job after completing your studies
- Dealing with a rejected 30% ruling application
- Practical examples
- Future outlook
- Tips & tricks you didn’t know about
- Q&A
The move to The Netherlands can be easy or one filled with hard job searches, terrible and disappointing visa applications, or it can be a painless fast track with the help of experts to get you sponsored and move there quickly. Join us to learn about this golden opportunity for your career and future! All aboard to The Netherlands!

•OnlineHoliday Glow, Emotional Low: Finding Peace This Holiday Season
OnlineNot everyone feels merry and bright when the holiday lights go up. For many, this time of year can feel more like an emotional storm than a celebration. It can bring up old childhood wounds, throw you back into difficult family dynamics, and leave you feeling completely drained behind a forced smile.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. What if you could navigate the season without losing yourself in the chaos?
Join us for a powerful live webinar on December 4th with emotional wellness coach Robbie Zein. This session is designed to give you the tools to rise above the drama, protect your peace, and reclaim your inner light, no matter what room you walk into.
It’s time to stop just surviving the holidays and start standing in your calm, confident truth.
In this transformative 1-hour session, you’ll learn how to:
- Recognize why the holidays trigger you and understand what your body is trying to tell you.
- Break free from the old childhood roles and family expectations that hold you back.
- Set loving, firm boundaries without feeling guilty or starting a conflict.
- Stay grounded and calm, even when others are trying to pull you into their drama.
- Turn feelings of loneliness into opportunities for deep self-connection and strength.
You’ll walk away with practical emotional tools and insights to keep your peace before, during, and long after the holidays are over.
