"The WMYT-power day gave me a clear understanding of what I find important and what I am good at. It was nice to discuss and visualize everything. This way, it becomes much more concrete than when it is only in your head. Furthermore, I think I already noticed my job requirements but didn't really acknowledge them because they felt too vague. Therefore, I felt like I had no idea what I wanted, which wasn't really true. I found it really pleasant that by concretizing, you can also give those feelings and 'vague' requirements a place and purpose."

"I am incredibly enthusiastic about WMYT! It's great that we get to do this as part of the traineeship at Unilever. During the WMYT workshops, I gradually learned more about myself in a very pleasant way, in a setting and format that was very relaxed.

Thanks to WMYT, I now have an easy and useful tool to continually think about what I want, and also about what I seek in others and my environment. This gives me a lot of confidence and direction (and thus peace). Therefore, I recommend everyone to get started with WMYT."

"WMYT is a strong program for exploring what you find important and enjoyable, both in your work and beyond. It also helps you to really get moving. We got started right away and delved deep. I found the trainers' extensive experience and non-judgmental positive approach to be an absolute added value.

Thanks to WMYT, I feel much better in my work now and see more opportunities to steer my career. Knowing myself, I would have definitely postponed this without WMYT.

I now have a clearer picture of where I want to go in my next career step. Additionally, I have come to appreciate more what I already have and do. The most positive effect for me is that I am no longer negative, which allows me to do much more in my current role and be more alert to opportunities instead of obstacles."

"I was insecure, had just quit my job, and lacked confidence in myself and in finding a new job. I had no clear idea of what I was really good at and why someone should hire me. Additionally, I knew and felt that my previous job was too draining and had too few energy-giving aspects, but what are my energy-givers?
Now, I know better than ever what my energy-givers are, what I seek in an environment, what my core qualities are, and what makes me unique. I can now confidently pitch who I am, what I am good at, and what I need. This is also something the process has brought me, a good dose of self-confidence. That is so nice! As a result, I have continuously dared to trust my feelings and stuck to my compass in the search for a new job!"

"I recently attended the one-day workshop of What Makes You Tick. It gave me what I hoped for and did what it promised. And maybe even more. It was positive, personal, helpful, useful and valuable. Absolutely value for money and without this workshop I would not be where I am now! It gave me a lot of clarity and with that an acceleration of my thought process and for the future more ease in making choices on a professional level. I now have more insight into my core values ​​(some of which I was not aware) and into my core qualities and how I can use them. Suddenly I see many more opportunities and possibilities and I feel like getting started with them. I have taken the first follow-up steps right away!"

"Thanks to the WMYT-power day, I gained more clarity about the things that are important to me in my job search. It helps me make conscious choices, both in my work and personal life. In short, a valuable day that I can recommend to everyone!

During the Powerday, together with my WMYT-coach, I've identified the common threads in my values, energy sources, and strengths. The positive approach ensured that I ended the day with a lot of energy, enthusiasm, and self-confidence."

"After participating in a WMYT-talk organised by my employer, I came into contact with What Makes You Tick and heard about the Quarterly Program. I was losing myself in my then-current job and wanted to make a change. That was my reason for joining the WMYT Quarterly Program.

At first, it was quite daunting to share personal matters in a group of strangers. But thanks to the positive approach and vulnerability of the WMYT-facilitators, the group immediately felt very safe, and I received a lot of valuable feedback from others. I also enjoyed helping others with their assignments and they helped me. It was confronting, sometimes difficult, but often beautiful and very enlightening. Through the challenging assignments, both at home and during the workshop days, I got to know myself even better. This confirmed what I secretly already knew, and so much more!

I look back on a beautiful, enlightening journey. I still use the 'lightbulb moments' from it daily and can better analyze why something bothers me or gives me energy. In my current job search, I read job vacancies differently, seeing if the job can apply to me (instead of the other way around). I approach conversations about other positions differently, not just to sell myself, but to genuinely figure out if a well-written vacancy fits me, truly fits me, and if I feel it!

For anyone who wants to figure out what they want in terms of work, I would say: do the WMYT-Quarterly program! Fun, in-depth assignments, a pleasant atmosphere, thoughtful feedback, and a top location. Definitely not a standard program with overused assignments, but something that truly helps you move forward!"

Administrative assistant

"Before I participated in the WMYT program, I was mostly working on autopilot. I no longer got any energy from my work and didn't have a clear picture of what I actually wanted. This was draining me, and I felt quite stuck. When the WMYT program came my way, I immediately felt that I wanted to seize the opportunity!
This program has greatly helped me to rediscover my qualities and passions that I was no longer aware of. Thanks to Daan and Vicky, I now have more clarity and peace, and I know much better what I want. I have also become much more positive and stronger because of this. I realize that I can create my own happiness and am bursting with energy again.
In addition to my current job, I have started taking on other exciting projects that I enjoy (such as co-organizing a large event). I am also exploring how I can do more with my passion for fashion in the future. It's super exciting, but I now know for sure that I want to pursue it further. No matter how it turns out, I know that in 20 years, I will still look back on this program with a good feeling and a smile on my face. This is one of the best programs I have experienced so far. I am very grateful for it.

"This process has provided me a lot of self-awareness, which I am very happy with. To be honest, I wish I had known this earlier because the impact is so great and positive. This insight goes beyond knowing better where and how I want to work in the future. It has also given me a lot of self-awareness in my personal life."
