The TSS Female Leadership Network   Last Wednesday, we had an inspiring session with 8 female colleagues from TSS as part of the Female Leadership Network. The session was organized with The Headroom, a coaching and training company specializing in leadership development and changing existing cultures. It was an afternoon full of authentic conversations, reflection, and personal growth. We created a safe space to push our personal and professional boundaries by talking candidly about our vulnerabilities and challenges. We are proud of this group of women who work together on leadership, self-confidence, and personal development! 💪🏼 #FemaleLeadership #PersonalGrowth #Empowerment Aziza el Messaoudi Renate Steenvoorden Roos Kalisvaart Lieke Braat Zowie Huigen Venema Annemarie Thomasse Marriet Rosier Djoeke Dallinga

TSS DACH Leadership Summit 2024 – Moving Forward Together. We are happy to share that we held our annual TSS Leadership Summit for the DACH region this October, and the management teams of the 13 business units of the DACH region all joined in Freiburg. This year’s Summit motto was ‘Moving Forward Together,’ we can look back on two days of knowledge sharing, learning, and networking, with sessions focused around our theme. On the first day, thanks to presentations from Jasper Bollen, Guido Hardy, and Dennis Coort, we know where we came from, where we want to go, and how we can achieve our goals. Afterward, we had a nice group walk to a nearby lake for a team-building and value workshop with Ramona Kaliska. Luck was on our side, as it was not raining. On the second day, we held various bar camps to discuss the chosen topics of interest. Bar camps are small, open workshops focused on content and programs developed by the participants themselves. This improved the general exchange of ideas and resulted in finding solutions for their challenges. The participants found the TSS DACH Leadership Summit in Freiburg very inspiring. It was a good opportunity to network among the management teams of newly acquired companies with those who have been with TSS for a longer time. The presentations and workshops gave us plenty of new knowledge and inspiration to ‘Move Forward Together.’ #Networking #bestpractices #leadership
