This is what you can expect
In this training, developed by co-founder Joszi Smeets, you will give meaning and substance to personal leadership in your own way. We use your personal story, your motives, your place, your examples, your qualities, your pitfalls and your long-term and short-term goals.
At Food Hub, we find time and again that personal leadership is essential for everyone in the world of food and agriculture. Even within our own team, we often pause to consider whether we are still on track, because the world of food and agriculture is changing at lightning speed, and we, like you, have chosen to be part of that change.
Politics, technology, the climate, social trends and current events mean that our playing field is constantly changing. It sometimes seems almost impossible to lead this. Things like expertise, power or position are no longer enough: the world of food requires an integral, inclusive approach and connecting leadership.

Meet your trainer
For the past 10 years, first as director of the Slow Food Youth Network and then as founder and creative director of Food Hub, Joszi has been working and training in the middle of the food movement. Joszi is the creative director of the Food Hub team, building our educational programs and products. She co-founded Food Hub with Joris because, as a social geographer, she strongly believes that the food transition is people-driven and therefore emotionally and culturally charged. It is so big but also very small, and that makes food the best tool to have in your hands. More than 700 students went through the Personal Leadership training that Joszi developed. Whether she worked with large or small companies, with students or experienced entrepreneurs, with urban change agents or pioneers on the farm, in those ten years it was confirmed for her time and time again that precisely in these changing times you have to be able to use your own personality in the best possible way. That is exactly what we are going to work with in this course.

Group Training
On May 17, 2023, we will organize the one-day group training* by Food Hub co-founder Joszi Smeets, complementary to the training. In Theaterwerkplaats Roest in Nijmegen, you will get to know yourself and others and get all the ingredients you need to then dive deeper into all the material in your own time. The combination of this live day and the online training brings the complete package. Getting to work live makes the material even more meaningful. Doesn't this fit? No worries: on its own, the training is also going to bring you a lot of value. This training day will be rescheduled at multiple times throughout the year so you can always join at a later time.
*The training will continue at 10 participants
