After a career as a lawyer and actor, appearing in various theatre productions and television programmes, including Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden and Villa Achterwerk, Wouter de Jong made the switch to becoming a trainer and speaker in 2010. He does so by empowering people, teams and organizations. He teaches simple ways of thinking and techniques that everyone can apply in their daily lives and work, even the most down-to-earth among us. The result is that people learn to work and live with greater enjoyment, autonomy and effectiveness. This is why Wouter founded the training organization ‘Mindgym: Sportschool voor je geest’ to make an even greater impact: together with like-minded people, contributing to greater mental fitness. After all, a better world starts in your mind.
The Mindgym Method
The Mindgym Method is based on scientifically proven techniques for dealing more effectively with stress and pressure at work. In Wouter’s interactive and engaging keynotes and webinars, you train your four brain circuits – attention, resilience, positivity and altruism – for a happier mind. This increases engagement without leading to burnout, helps you respond more effectively to change and enables you to manage your time, emotions, stress and colleagues more effectively. In short: a protein shake for your brain for greater focus, calm and energy!
Wouter as a Speaker
Wouter de Jong transforms every event into a ‘gym for the mind’, where everyone leaves feeling recharged. The main themes of Wouter’s talks, workshops and books are personal leadership, mental fitness and impact. Wouter has also written several bestsellers, including ‘Mindgym: Sportschool voor je geest’, ‘Mindgym: Work-outs’ and ‘Superkrachten voor je hoofd’, which was also published in a special Dylan Haegens edition. His first book became an instant bestseller, with more than 80,000 copies sold. His second book was published by Maven Publishing in early 2019. More than 50,000 copies of his children’s book Superkrachten voor je hoofd have now been sold.
