Who is Hermina Van Coillie?

Hermina Van Coillie, Doctor in Psychology, motivation expert, keynote speaker, lecturer in various HRM postgraduate courses, author, member of the council of sages at ESF, senior consultant and business manager at Flourish. In April 2021, she published her first book, which she had written with Prof. Dr. Anja van den Broeck, Motiveren zonder controleren (Motivating without controlling). Getting started with self-determination theory in the workplace! Motiveren zonder controleren - die Keure.

Hermina is a popular speaker, who for years has been giving keynote presentations, inspiration sessions, master classes, workshops and management training for business leaders, HR directors, HR managers, supervisors and prevention advisers, as well as supervising teams and executive committees. 

Hermina takes a unique approach: She brings to life one of the most influential psychological theories of this century, scientifically grounded, and immediately accessible to everyone. Not only at work but also at home and in the sports club, Hermina surprises and moves her audience with her charisma, authenticity and expertise, but also with her new and useful insights. 

High-quality motivation is not the goal in itself but the means by which you achieve peak performance and 'blossoming'. With the right motivation you experience less stress, less chance of burnout, and thus you are able to concentrate better and feel better; in short, you become a 'high performer'. 
 She links this 'high quality' motivation to numerous HR themes, such as burnout, well-being, leadership, flexible working arrangements (in terms of time and place), absenteeism, performance management, work addiction, work/life balance, remuneration, hybrid working and ageing.

    Motivating without controlling

    How do you ensure that your employees achieve peak performance? And that they feel good and full of energy at work? In short, that your employees, customers and your entire organisation flourish? The answer is to be found in the way your employees are motivated. 
    Hermina focuses on a new way of motivating. Without control, without power or status but on the basis of deep trust and real connection. She not only teaches you how to motivate others optimally but also how to motivate yourself optimally.

    She bases this on the self-determination theory, one of the most influential theories of this century. 

    Hermina focuses on ‘high quality’ motivation. And her story is scientific, evidence-based and immediately usable.
    She has developed a tool and a language for this.

    A tool that you can use immediately in your organisation and also at home. And a language you can speak directly. 

    Hermina will deliver a tailor-made lecture depending on your needs. The themes are well-being, work/life balance, leadership, motivation, stress and burnout, hybrid working, resistance to change and more.

    And finally, investing in this approach pays off: a study shows that every dollar you invest in improving this 'high quality' motivation yields more than three dollars.
     

    How do you communicate in-depth and with impact? Speak the ABC language and establish a deep connection with your employees.

    The ABC language ensures connection and impact. This language is based on the self-determination theory, one of most influential psychological theories of this century, and the basic principles of binding communication.

    In this keynote presentation, you will learn the ways in which you can be motivated in terms of your work, how you can increase the optimal motivations and what the crucial components are when it comes to 'trust'. She uses a handy 'ABC' for this, which goes back to our universal and innate psychological basic needs.

    Hermina teaches you the basics of this ABC language in an interactive way; she teaches you to give feedback, to communicate in a binding manner and, above all, she makes you feel how powerful and useful this language is, at home and at work.

    Depending on your needs, Hermina focuses on themes that are relevant to your organisation, such as feedback, communication, stress, supervision, letting go, relevance, meaning, impact, resistance to change, etc.

    Knowing how to motivate yourself and others in an optimal fashion is crucial and, in this keynote presentation, you will learn how to do this through your language. 

    The scientific background, usefulness, concrete applicability, amusing exercises and anecdotes complete the whole. 

Hermina is a wonderful academic 'breath of fresh air'. She develops the science of motivation in organisations in a clear and inspiring way. The presentations and publications are both entertaining and scientifically well-grounded. Any organisation that wishes to bring its approach to motivation up-to-date would do well to engage Hermina. She offers simple, feasible solutions that make a world of difference! Clear, respectful communication pays off!
