Remco Claassen is a rebellious speaker, trainer, and author who focuses on the (further) development of talent in the areas of leadership and effectiveness. After an initial start as an engineer in the IT industry, he ‘accidentally’ found himself in the training world through sales management and personal development management. His career then accelerated. His presentations in the pre-program of international top speakers such as Stephen Covey, Tom Peters, and Robert Cialdini have put him on the map. He has now grown into one of the most sought-after speakers in the field of leadership and personal development. He is the author of the bestsellers ‘IK’ and ‘WIJ’, which are considered breakthroughs in human mastery. For 10 consecutive years, he has been the highest-rated trainer at Focus Conferences and DenkProducties. Remco is a humorous, somewhat blunt knowledge clicko. As a performer, he is best described as a cross between Dr. Stephen R. Covey and comedian Hans Teeuwen. The main themes of his books, training sessions, workshops, and lectures are LEADERSHIP and EFFECTIVENESS. This encompasses both personal leadership and leading others. You will learn, both professionally and personally, ‘WHAT needs to happen, WHY it needs to happen, and HOW it will succeed WHEN!’. This translates into topics such as:
His presentations are interactive, full of humor, and contain many moments of personal insight and confrontation. Through a balanced mix of theory, practice, video, music, and space for contemplation, the training days are extremely effective and particularly energetic. Without a tjakaa factor, long days of an average of 10 to 11 hours of training are not experienced as exhausting. The various programs are filled with theories and insights from different corners of the personal development spectrum. Remco is a multi-guru and does not limit himself to the wisdom of just one or two people. The themes incorporated in the training sessions come from the works of a wide range of world-renowned authors such as Stephen Covey, Michael Porter, Helen Palmer, Anthony Robbins, Wayne Dyer, Dale Carnegie, Deepak Chopra, Kenneth Blanchard, Napoleon Hill, Robert Cialdini, and Daniel Goleman. Remco has gained national recognition since being contracted by FOCUS Conferences for the training ‘The Essence of Leadership’ and by Denk Producties for the trainings ‘Verbal Mastery’, ‘The Psychology of Generosity’, ‘IK – the workshop’, and ‘Leading while still cutting the meat at home’. These programs are among the highest-rated workshops in the Netherlands, averaging well over 9.
