Jurjen Knoester has been working with teams for the past thirteen years. Since 2008 he’s using his own company, OutdoorTeamTraining to combining experiential learning with progress focussed teamcoaching to help teams develop themselves further.Jurjen has trained and coached teams and individuals in Holland, Belgium, France, Great Britain, New Zealand and the USA. He often works together with a selection of coaches, trainers and organisations who can add value to his programs and clients. This also means that he can effortlessly create and facilitate programs for larger organisations.The background method (a combination of experiential learning and progression focussed teamcoaching) quickly leads to positive results for both the teams and the companies behind the teams. This happens because the participants are invited to discover, develop and take their own steps forward.What makes OutdoorTeamTraining different from other companies?Jurjen: We’re a small, fast and flexible organisation. And we like to facilitate our programs so that a maximum of contact and connection within the teams can be established, together with the result that our client is searching for. We can offer participants insight into their own behaviour and communication, so that as a team they can develop themselves further. This can only work if you also have fun with each other. The trademarks of our training program’s and off-sites are doing, people get pro-active, have fun. There is a pinch of confrontation and a healthy dose of connection with each other.Out programs are focussed on helping a companies employees to discover and exploit their own strengths, and to enhance the internal connection within teams. This you can do within any layer of the organisation, from management to the workforce.

Als mentor op de zelfstandigheidtraining van Vitree jeugdhulpverlening in Flevoland ondersteun ik jongeren in hun groei naar volwassenheid. Een mooie baan die uitstekend aansluit bij mijn eigen bedrijven waarbij ik volwassenen ondersteun in hun persoonlijke ontwikkeling.

Dit weekend is een bijeenkomst van mensen geïnteresseerd in survival, primitieve technieken en de natuur in het algemeen en berust op het voor elkaar, door elkaar principe. Deelnemers geven workshops aan elkaar over zaken die ze interessant vinden en leren weer van andere deelnemers. Dit weekend is dus mogelijk gemaakt door de bushcraftliefhebbers zelf.

I've worked first as an employee and later as the coördinator of the outdoor department of the YMCA. In this capacity I have organised and executed outdoor programmes ranging from leasure activities to one on one survivalprograms with young delinquents, and als corporate training programs that use outdoor as a tool.
