Who is Johan D’Haeseleer?

Johan is an industrial engineer, labour analyst and Vlerick alumnus, and has dedicated the past 15 years of his life to simplifying work and creating extra time. Initially at Colruyt, and now as trainer in time management. His clients like to call him ‘Mister Simplicity’.
He presents a practical argument for using time efficiently. Armed with personal examples and a bundle of diverse tips, he teaches the audience how to effectively create ‘extra time’ for their passions and preferred activities.

In his new keynote about human behaviour, Johan explains the art of controlling your biological systems, so that your ability to focus becomes better, faster and more effective. This knowledge is primarily based in his personal experiences in life and at work.

    Digital minimalism

    Do you get that phantom pain when you don’t have your digital device with you? So who is actually in control? At the end of the day, you are tired and probably wonder where all your time went. Imagine if technology helped you to achieve your objectives and complete your projects, instead of distracting you and your colleagues. Techno utopia? Not at all. Technology shows us who we are. It’s not our fault, it’s the default.

    Digital minimalism, or digital essentialism, looks for an alternative approach between human cyborgs and people who ignore technology completely. It is a philosophy that helps you to question your digital tools (and the behaviours that they trigger) so that they can add maximum value to your life. Based on the belief that in the absence of attention our time is worthless, Johan shows you principles (what) and practical applications (how) with which to tame the beast.

    Experi-(wo)man

    This lecture supports you in the search for the best version of yourself! Cultivating a growth mindset is one of the most important elements when setting up a personal experiment. By becoming an experi-(wo)man, you will experience changes that allow you to develop - a bit less than average and perhaps also less than normal. Johan demonstrates experiments that give you more energy, improve your sleep and reduce the time needed to complete your work, while feeling happier and more relaxed. His idea is to examine whether the tests resulted in more time, energy or concentration and, in particular, if they made him into a better person - a better version of himself. And because we all want to get the best out of ourselves, this will be a memorable keynote and will help participants to tackle their lives in the most effective manner.

    Extra time

    Want to create extra time for yourself? How do you actually do this in an effective manner? Johan has divided his many tips into nine clear domains, based on his many years of experience. Abolition, doing less, batching, simplification, systemisation, automation, outsourcing, delegation and working faster. You will no longer have an excuse after this fascinating lecture.

    Is that allowed? For you! - Permission to Experiment

    This intriguing keynote with Johan reveals the solution to probably every problem. 

    The bypass for change is the "License to Experiment"'
    Discover the world of experimentation, the 2 x 3 conditions that determine when something can be called an official experiment, complemented by a crucial lever to increase the outcome.
     
    The benefits of experimentation are briefly highlighted, but there are as many as 27. Then discover 12 experiments that individuals, teams and organisations can leverage for greater satisfaction, effectiveness and efficiency in personal, private and professional spheres.
     
    This keynote is more than a presentation; it is an interactive experience. In an intake session of up to 45 minutes, Johan tailors the content to your organisation's specific challenges. As an organiser, you choose three main benefits, ensuring that the presentation perfectly matches your objectives.

    Johan, with a wealth of more than 1001 experiments, is constantly adding new ideas - at least 69 a year to be exact. This allows him to cover almost every conceivable topic. It offers a unique opportunity to experiment with innovative ideas that are directly applicable to your organisation.
     
    And as a bonus, each participant receives two 'License to Experiment' - one for themselves and one to pass on. In addition, everyone will get access to a webpage with downloadable keynote slides, putting valuable insights always at their fingertips.
     
    "May da then? From Eigens! - Permission to Experiment" is not just a keynote; it is an invitation to action, change and growth. It presents concrete steps to greater success and fulfilment in all facets of life, with experimentation acting as the key to lasting transformation.

    Boost your digital wellbeing

    Do you notice that your employees and yourself are often tired and distracted? With the Corona Pandemic, it seems that fatigue and reduced focus have increased sharply. Reasons include more working from home, more (online) meetings and a disturbed private/work balance. So time to increase digital wellbeing.

    Digital well-being focuses on three spearheads: digital awareness, digital skills and (self)leadership in a hybrid world.

    After this presentation, you will know the digital sweet spot, you will know why PULL is the most important word to boost digital well-being and why 'Energy is King and Attention is Queen' are crucial in our hybrid world.

Johan D’Haeseleer is an inspirational speaker. His Time management workshop offers good insights and tips on better use of the time at our disposal on a daily basis. This knowledge can be easily put into practice at work and in your personal life. He is enthusiastic, interacts with the audience, points out where you can find all the extra 15 minutes and how we can better manage our ‘to do’ lists. We received many positive reactions from participants after our workshop with him.
