Marnix den Boer

Wie is Marnix

I have more than 25 years of international experience in management, organisational development, continuous improvement, management consulting, and guiding teams and individuals in their growth. At Dosign, I deliver training programmes in effective communication, leadership, coaching, and time management.

I have worked with a wide range of international clients across many different sectors, including banking, logistics, engineering consultancies, energy, healthcare, public and social real estate, recruitment, retail, high end audio, automotive, and higher education.

As a participant in one of my training programmes, you can expect me to find the right balance between the knowledge and experience I bring, and the questions and needs of the participants. My approach combines training, coaching, sparring, and facilitating growth; both for the group as a whole and for each participant individually.

The training programmes I facilitate are not so much about what people do, but more about how they do it. I help participants become more aware of their own approach and support their development by reflecting on what they do in their comfort zone, then challenging them to experiment with new behaviour in the learning zone.

For me, a training programme is successful when it leads to new insights for the participants. You can often see the moment when something really lands with them. That is exactly why I do this work.

DISC for Technical Professionals; recognising and influencing behaviour in practice

Personal Effectiveness Training Courses 2 half-day sessions Rotterdam

In technical projects, a great deal of attention is paid to content, planning and execution. Yet in practice, projects do not always get stuck because of technical issues. Behaviour often plays a greater role than expected. Differences in pace, communication style and response patterns can cause conversations to become difficult, expectations to remain unspoken and decisions to be delayed or avoided. DISC makes this behaviour visible.

In this training course, we do not approach DISC as a model you need to memorise, but as a practical tool for understanding collaboration more effectively. You work with your own DISC profile and gain insight into how you communicate, respond and make decisions, especially in situations where pressure increases or interests differ. From that insight, you learn to recognise behaviour in others. You learn to pick up signals during conversations and better understand why someone responds in a certain way.

As a result, you will recognise more quickly where communication breaks down and what is needed to steer the conversation back in the right direction.

Coaching for Technical Professionals

Personal Effectiveness Training Courses 6 half-day session Rotterdam

Coaching leadership is not a luxury within technical organisations, but an absolute necessity. Excellent engineers are increasingly growing into leadership roles. Teams are becoming larger and projects more complex. Yet technical managers are rarely trained in professionally guiding employees. With Dosign Academy’s Coaching Leadership training course, you learn how to guide colleagues in behavioural change, responsibility and independence, without taking over the substance of the problem yourself.

Strong technical professionals often naturally grow into roles with more responsibility. Not only for technical content, but also for planning, collaboration, decision-making and team results. In the Leadership for Technical Professionals training course, you learn how to lead engineers, project teams and technical specialists without losing your own pragmatic style.
