Mental (Resilience) Strength | High-performance
Herold Dat trains high-performance teams from, among others, the National Police and was one of the four unknown participants in Expeditie Robinson in 2017.
Our consultants would be happy to advise you on how best to tailor the narrative to your specific target audience.
Herold Dat is an authentic trainer – coach who, through his no-nonsense approach, encourages people to reflect on their own actions. He sees it as his personal mission to share his perspective on the power of a good mindset with as many people as possible. Through his energetic approach, he challenges individuals to examine their own habits and behaviors and to change this behavior from within where necessary. With his attentive listening skills, he asks genuine questions when working with teams, creating a shared vision. Herold enjoys working in high-performance environments where performing under pressure and working from a common starting point are central.
In his lectures and workshops, he provides tools to change one’s own habits and behaviors and to realize that a good mindset helps in this process. His powerful stories invite reflection and contain surprising insights and tools that everyone can work with. He utilizes the power of metaphor and makes use of clichés. One of his well-known sayings is: “A cliché is a cliché because there is always a kernel of truth in it.”
Herold’s thinking and working methods are based on well-founded scientific research, his own life experiences, and his roles as a trainer, coach, and educator for various target groups within the government (Defense, Police, Fire Brigade, Justice, Care and Support Workers) and his work in the business sector.
In Defense, he spent 22 years developing and executing physical and mental training programs. He primarily trained in combat skills, procedures, and resilience. This usually took place in the mid and high mountains of Europe (French, Swiss, German, and Austrian Alps).
As a former top athlete (cycling), Herold won more than 130 races among top amateurs, including various National Amateur Classics, National Military Championships, and the European Military Championship in 2003. As an entrepreneur, he teaches at the National Police Academy, Justice, and Fontys University of Applied Sciences for Sports.
Additionally, he is frequently invited to conduct training for High Performance teams that must perform under pressure. In early 2018, Herold Dat launched a three-year learning trajectory he developed for High-potentials in the technology sector. Through his work, he inspires people to trust in their own mental resilience. As a person and professional, he enjoys discussing our three-layered brain and how you can remain the master of your own thoughts and emotions.
In our current 24/7 society, maintaining oneself is not a given; our ancient stress system is simply not sufficient in today’s zeitgeist. Our mental load and capacity are often under strain. To manage this energy effectively, Herold provides individuals and teams with mental tools and skills to restore and maintain balance, thereby bringing resilience to your organization.
In 2017, Herold Dat was one of the four unknowns in Expeditie Robinson. In his lecture: “Yes, it’s raining,… it’s all about mindset!” he talks about the bizarre selection process from several thousand applications, of which only four were allowed to participate, the lead-up to his adventure, the adventure itself, and suddenly becoming known to millions of viewers. That is a story in itself. He sees Robinson as a mini-society and draws comparisons to daily life. He makes a surprising parallel between the survival strategies of participants and our lives in the ordinary world.
Fortunately, Herold is more than just Robinson; his background as a professional and individual adds a personal touch to his lectures. He speaks about how you can manage your energy and determine your own mindset. The lectures and sessions have titles that speak for themselves, filled with energy and passion. His training sessions are interactive, where knowledge is interspersed with practical assignments. During reflection, there is always a transfer to the work context, as igniting the fire within yourself never truly stops.
In today’s 24/7 society, staying mentally and physically healthy is the new gold. In this lecture, Herold gives you 5 survival tips, explains how you can manage your energy balance, provides some mental tools, and gives the team guidelines to work more efficiently together.
How can you achieve seemingly unattainable goals with the right mindset? Herold explains what you can do to work from a fixed mindset and how to stay close to yourself. He provides insight into how our ancient survival strategies work and the role our three-layer brain plays in it. Having control over this brings practically every goal within reach.
As an entrepreneur, you need others to survive. During this inspiring lecture, Herold shares his experiences from Top Sports, Defence, and Expedition Robinson. He applies his “Lessons Learned” daily in the business world. He explains how to form alliances, manage your energy, and determine your own mindset. He teaches you to trust your own mental strength, so you gain more resilience. Do you dare as a boss to invest in yourself and drive others to greater heights?
If you feel good and stand firm, you can take on the whole world. With this lecture, Herold provides insight into several generic mental processes. He aligns your strategy and tactics and teaches you to maintain the right focus from (self)confidence when performing your tasks. His mental toolbox consists of 4 logical steps that are aligned with each other. Learning to work with it will lead to greater personal effectiveness, and performing under pressure has never been so easy. You can direct attention and steer thoughts.
In this lecture, Herold explains the difference between long-term and acute stress. We are well aware that the balance between physical and mental load is disturbed, yet we continue with what we are doing against better judgement. Herold explains why we like to hold on to these fixed patterns. He then provides several practical guidelines to break the pattern with the right willingness to change and embrace and internalise new behaviour.
In this lecture, Herold takes you through the theme of miscommunication with everyday examples. You probably recognise not being understood and the reaction of the other not being what you expected. Communication is a play between sender and receiver. If a sender sends the wrong signal or a receiver is not ready to receive, things can go wrong. All lost time and energy. But how can it be done right? Let yourself be taken in this interactive lecture and break free from your own assumptions and opinions.
When agreements are made in a team or group, and norms and values are clear to each team member, there is a common goal. If you want to map out the above, the theme left or right is a valuable eye-opener. Do you take control yourself when making contact with others, or do you leave it to the other? Do you connect with the other, or do you prefer to convince? Herold takes you through various propositions in this interactive lecture and sharpens the team goal. Do you want to know how to stay close to yourself and serve the team to the maximum? Challenge yourself and your team in the lecture left or right and discover what the Team Big 5 entails and how it will accelerate the group dynamic process.
