During CK#6 he teaches you to write a text that represents your vision and makes it perfectfor social media like LinkedIn.

The Coach&Co workshop “Project-based Collaboration” focuses on professional creativity within multidisciplinary collaboration. Daan Wierenga invites participants to search for project-based collaboration within their professional network, with local governments and social partners.  On the basis of social developments and a project document, participants can tune in on creative possibilities, realistic goals and practical results.
