***In this meetup, we explore why traditional feedback systems fail and what it really takes to build a culture of dialogue.*** ***\*\*\*Attention! This is an in-person event only. We need a minimum of 10 attendees for gaining the most value (besides the hosts). We will notice you in advance for a go/no go around February the 20th, 2026 \*\*\**** *Drawing from real consultancy experience and organizational case studies, we’ll unpack how feedback is shaped by deeply embedded systems of judgment, social conditioning, business culture, and biological responses to threat.* **Cool concrete case studies shared of different organizations with a diversity of challenges.** Let’s be honest: the word “feedback” can make your stomach clench. We brace for awkward conversations that end in painful silence, or we swallow our frustration to keep the peace. We worry about disrupting relationships or being misunderstood, so we often say nothing at all. But what is the true cost of this silence? Misunderstandings fester, trust erodes, and team morale quietly slips away. Ironically, by avoiding feedback to protect our relationships, we often end up creating the very disconnection we feared. As a result, we've developed a deeply unhelpful relationship with feedback treating it as a confrontation to be dreaded rather than a conversation for connection and growth. **Shift consciousness, habits, and leadership behavior at every level. Explore how to create cultures of dialogue instead of confrontation, where people feel seen, heard, and able to grow.** *** ### **Agenda** 17:30 - 18:00 Walk in 18:00 - 18:45 * Welcome & personal story * Current Systematics of Feedback 18:45 - 19:15 FOOOOD 19:15 - 20:30 * Clear Case Studies Example(s) of Feedback Systematics * Change the System of Feedback 20:30 Netwerk + Walk Out 21:00 Please go home you lovely people **Who Should Attend:** * Leaders * HR Professionals * Scrum Masters * Agile Coaches * Change Agents * Anyone who want to move beyond labels and is interested in creating a feedback culture.

'ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE' by Anthony Doerr 'Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure's reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr's stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors”(San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” ( Los Angeles Times). ***Please read the book and join us for a lively discussion (in English) about the contents during our afternoon book club meeting.*** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **PLEASE NOTE:** This is an IN-PERSON event in Amersfoort, The Netherlands.

Meld je aan voor onze volgende WordPress Meetup in Utrecht op **dinsdag 3 maart 2026**. Zoals gebruikelijk zijn we weer welkom bij [Wonders of Work](https://wondersofwork.nl/), onze locatiesponsor. We beginnen om 19:30 uur (zaal open vanaf 19:00). **Programma** We hebben weer twee inspirende sprekers Je hebt vast wel eens meegemaakt dat je hostingserver trager en trager werd. **Arjan Olsder** gaat ons daarom de ins en outs van hosting uitleggen. En **Samir Rafiq**, onze builder expert, werkt inmiddels ook met Etch. Etch belooft de wereld van builders op zijn kop te gaan zetten! Je hoort wat hij ervan vindt. Om 21:30 eindigen we met een borrel die gesponsord wordt door [Klarned](https://www.klarned.is/nl/), [Webscout](https://webscout.be/) en [Kinsta](https://kinsta.com/nl/). **Hosting \| Arjan Olser** Is jouw webhosting een goed onderbouwde keuze of gewoon onderbuikgevoel? En kun je die keuze wel goed onderbouwen? Arjan Olsder bouwde 25 jaar geleden het bedrijf Digishock op. En 16 jaar geleden kwam daar WebsiteNazorg.nl bij. Binnen beide bedrijven was het een komen en gaan van webhostingbedrijven en werden keuzes door klanten vooral op emotie en ‘van horen zeggen’ genomen. Terwijl webhosting in de praktijk het meest vitale element is in de kwaliteitsbeleving van een website. En vaak ook het eerste waar iedereen op bezuinigt. Inmiddels is Arjan niet meer werkzaam in de industrie, dus tijd genoeg voor hem om een deepdive te doen en zijn kennis te delen. Hoe kies je de juiste webhost? Wat zoek je qua technologie, qua service en bereikbaarheid. En welke juridische angels kunnen op jouw pad komen. Of het pad van jouw klant. Want met de huidige geopolitieke spanningen is het belangrijk dat de Nederlandse WordPress sector weerbaar wordt en haar klanten goed kan beschermen. **Etch Builder \| Samir Rafiq** De markt zit vol met opties, elk met hun eigen aanpak. Van gebruiksvriendelijke drag-and-drop builders zoals Divi en Elementor, tot meer geavanceerde tools zoals Bricks en Oxygen voor developers. Of juist full site editing met WordPress blocks al dan niet ondersteund door een Greyd of Kadence. Samir Rafiq is ervaren low-code WordPress developer met meer dan 10 jaar ervaring als ontwikkelaar en trainer. In deze talk neemt Samir je mee in EtchWP, een opkomende builder die een frisse kijk biedt op hoe we websites bouwen. Wat maakt deze builder anders dan de rest? En is dit misschien wel de builder waar jij naar op zoek bent? **Zeepkist** Wil je een vraag stellen aan de aanwezigen op de avond? Of wil je een korte presentatie doen van het werk waar je mee bezig bent (max 10 minuten), dan willen we je ook ruimte geven om even op de zeepkist te klimmen. Meld je van tevoren aan via info@wpmeetuputrecht.nl. **Nieuwe onderwerpen voor talks** We zijn altijd op zoek naar leuke onderwerpen voor een talk. Is er een onderwerp waarover je meer informatie zou willen? Kun jijzelf misschien wat meer vertellen over WordPress, SEO, hosting, contentcreatie of iets dergelijks? Of wil je gewoon eens laten zien wat jij of jouw bedrijf maakt met WordPress? Vertel het ons via info@wpmeetuputrecht.nl. **Wonders of Work** We zijn weer welkom op de locatie van [Wonders of Work](https://wondersofwork.nl) (voormalig Seats2Meet Utrecht CS), onze locatiesponsor. WoW is gevestigd in Hoog Catharijne (Boven Vredenburgpassage, Kantoren Connect Offices R1, 6e etage). Je vindt WoW het makkelijkst als je Hoog Catharijne vanaf het Centraal Station inloopt, linksaf langs Ziggo/Vodafone, en dan net voorbij de Rituals. **WordPress Community** Wij zijn onderdeel van de wereldwijde WordPress Community. WordPress is open source en daaraan wordt belangeloos gewerkt door vele enthousiaste gebruikers over hele wereld ([https://make.wordpress.org/](https://make.wordpress.org/)).

We’re heading out onto a **brand new trail** on the Veluwe, one we’ve never walked before. That alone makes this hike extra exciting. New paths, new views, and that lovely feeling of discovery from start to finish. From the start we dive **straight into the forest**, following winding woodland paths that slowly pull us deeper into the heart of the Veluwe. The forest feels calm and spacious, and with spring just around the corner you’ll notice nature quietly waking up. Budding trees, fresh greens, birds getting busier. It’s that in between season where everything is preparing itself. After several kilometers of forest walking, the landscape opens up as we reach the **Hoog Soerensche Veld**. Wide open fields, big skies, and that classic Veluwe contrast between forest and heath. From here we continue towards the **Asselsche Heide**, one of the quieter and more scenic parts of the Veluwe. This section offers lovely viewpoints, open heathland, and long sightlines that really give you that spacious Veluwe feeling. We finish where we started, completing a **full loop hike** through forests, open fields, and heathland. **📍When and where to meet?** We’ll meet at 11h30 at busstop Hoog Buurloseweg https://maps.app.goo.gl/sCMJ8Kg7MTUcYu1j7 ⏰ **We start walking a few minutes after meeting up** — we don’t wait for latecomers, as the forest calls and daylight is short this time of year. **🚗 Coming by car?** You can park here but please also do your own research: https://maps.app.goo.gl/sCMJ8Kg7MTUcYu1j7 **⏸️ Planned Breaks** After 9 km: 30 min lunch break in nature After 15 km: 15 min break in nature **💸 Payment** Please pay as soon as you sign up: To keep things fair for everyone, if we don’t receive your payment within 48 hours, we will need to remove you from the participant list.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.
