Workplace Insights by Adrie van der Luijt
Just like my approach to keynote speaking, my training is highly interactive, user-focused, and rooted in first-hand, real-world experience. Whether in-person or online, every session is designed to be engaging, relevant, and immediately applicable to the challenges management support professionals face today.
Training should be more than just a series of slides and lectures. It should be interactive, relevant, and tailored to real-world challenges. That’s the approach I bring to every training session.
Like my public speaking, my training is based on user needs. I work closely with participants to understand their challenges and priorities, ensuring that every session is practical, engaging and immediately useful.
Rather than delivering generic, one-size-fits-all content, my training draws on real-life scenarios, case studies and hands-on exercises to create an interactive learning experience.
Whether it’s about navigating workplace change, leveraging AI effectively or developing critical thinking skills, my training equips management support professionals with the tools and confidence to thrive.
My methodology is rooted in active learning. I work with you to ensure real understanding and practical application. My sessions include:
Scenario-based learning – Tackling real workplace challenges and case studies.
Interactive exercises – Group discussions, role plays, and problem-solving activities.
Live demonstrations – Showing tools and techniques in action.
Peer learning – Encouraging knowledge-sharing among participants.
Practical takeaways – Tools, templates, and strategies that can be implemented immediately.
After completing my training events, you will:
Feel more confident using AI and emerging workplace technologies.
Develop stronger strategic skills that position you as a key asset to your organisation.
Gain practical techniques to improve productivity, communication and influence.
Be better prepared to navigate workplace changes and challenges.

I know from experience what it takes to be a top management support professional. I was Executive Assistant to the chairman of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and other high-profile executives in the UK and the Netherlands. I was also an office manager in the City of London.
My signature Executive Assistant training programme teaches you strategic thinking and influencing skills to help you thrive in an AI-driven world.
How to leverage AI without fear, automate tasks, and enhance productivity.
Moving beyond administrative support to become a key decision-making partner.
New data reveals the UK government has spent £3.35bn on AI since 2018, with the Met Office getting £1bn for weather forecasting whilst the departments serving vulnerable people, Treasury and DWP, sit in the bottom three. The spending patterns tell us everything about whose problems we think AI should solve.
After delivering a keynote on trauma-informed content design and reflecting on government’s AI ambitions for grant management, I’m troubled by the gap between efficiency promises and vulnerability realities. Most people using public services are in crisis. If our AI can’t recognise that, we’re building expensive barriers, not solutions.
