Expat Republic Utrecht

One of the main hurdles’ internationals & expats face when moving and working in The Netherlands is understanding their rights and navigating Dutch labor law. In this webinar, we will delve into the main things you need to know to protect your rights as an employee, as well as the best practices to do so. Remember, the more you know, the better a position you will be to make the decisions that benefit you.

In this special webinar, we will cover the following:

• Employment contracts – what am I signing?
• Changing my employment
• Vacation & sick leave
• Side jobs or freelancing
• Non-competition clauses
• Dismissal law - a lawyers’ Walhalla
• Non-solicitation clauses
• Liquidated damages and damages clauses
• Salary negotiations and fair wages
• UVW and unemployment law
• The workers’ counsel
• What happens when your employer is sold?
• Terminating or rescinding your employment contract
• Suing your employer – five simple steps
• Case studies and examples
• Common mistakes expats make
• Best practices for expats

It’s not uncommon that expats get confused or, even worse yet, taken advantage of because they don’t know the rules, rights, or their obligations. Furthermore, internationals are afraid to get into litigation, get legal support, or take an employer to court because they may not know the system. Doing this in Dutch is even scarier. Join us for this free webinar as we help you navigate this intricate, employee-friendly legal system!

Agenda:
• Presentation by Ronald M. Beltzer at Flott Advocaten – 19:00 – 20:00
• Q&A session (ask anything): 20:00 – 20:30

In this empowering webinar, we explore one of the most transformative principles in child development and self-healing: the power of choice. Drawing from Robbie Zein’s insightful book Choices, we will look at how providing meaningful choices to children can build their confidence, develop their decision-making abilities, and strengthen their sense of identity. At the same time, we’ll turn inward to understand how our own relationship with choice as children shaped the inner narratives we carry today.

What This Webinar Is About
As adults, we sometimes forget that children—just like us—crave agency. When we ignore their need to choose, we not only restrict their autonomy but risk damaging their self-esteem.

Conversely, by inviting them into age-appropriate decision-making, we empower them to grow into thoughtful, confident, and resilient individuals.

At the same time, many of us carry wounds from a childhood where our voices were ignored or our choices dismissed. These unhealed parts of us—the inner child—often shape how we parent, teach, or respond to others.
This webinar also invites you to explore and gently heal those memories by reconnecting with the child you once were, and offering yourself the compassion and choices you may have missed.

Why This Webinar Matters
✅ Learn how to engage children in decision-making in a way that boosts self-worth and emotional growth.
✅ Discover practical ways to offer children choices—even in everyday situations.
✅ Understand the link between unacknowledged childhood needs and adult behavior.
✅ Begin healing your inner child by re-examining your own experiences with autonomy, voice, and validation.

Who Should Attend?
This webinar is perfect for parents, teachers, caregivers, and individuals on a personal growth journey. Whether you're seeking to raise confident children or to rewrite your own inner story, this session offers wisdom, compassion, and practical tools rooted in real-life examples. Join us for a deeply moving and practical exploration of how the power of choice can shape not only the lives of children, but also the lives of the adults they become.
