Sijbrand Maal (Poker entrepeneur)

This training feels as a real break through to me. Learn to accept my negative side en deal with that the right way. This training provides the opportunity to take a very close and honest look at yourself outside the everyday life. Both setting and content were perfect to me and brought real inspiration. I am convinced EFFEQT training will positively influence the lives of many more people. I would not have missed it for the world.

Tony Bennett (PGA Master Professional and Director of Education for PGA Europe)

Having worked with golfers of all levels and previously playing the game for a living, I am aware that to improvement in golf, is not just isolated to technique. In fact without considering a players attitude and mental game, improvement is only limited. Having attended a shortened EFFEQT Mind Boost session, I can say that Geo's techniques are presented in a relaxed and fun environment which help facilitate the discussion of the keys of Potential Power, Mental Noise, Stop and Focus, all key to the development of you as a person and golfer.

Astrid Boogaart (Trainer)

To me the Mind Boost traject is as the difference between listening to a cd versus experiencing a live performance. The message that was meant for me really came across. I actively experienced what it means to be congruent in behaviour and feelings and emotion at a certain moment. Continuing showing my real self as I really feel is still exciting and a challenge but the reward; direct contact with myself (authenticity) and by doing so with others (colleagues and friends) ) is very meaningful 

Ton van der Bruggen (Head Societal Services, Town of Oisterwijk)

This training resulted in a real breakthrough in my personal as well as my professional life. Often you know your critical growth factors but you just do not know how to translate them into natural behaviour. A significant experience is needed to do so. The training in the Algarve made this possible to me. I get confirmation and positve feedback from people from my professional as well as my personal background.  

Kevin Parry (PGA teacher and coach Tony Bennett Golf Learning Center Portugal)

We found the session positive and enlightening, we enjoyed the day and were reminded of the importance of positive thoughts and keeping mental noise at bay. I am sure that Geo will do very well.

Willem Tijsterman (CEO of a transport company)

You are confronted intensively with yourself in a relaxed setting. It makes you reflect on your own behaviour and critically observe your own personality. The training provides useful tools to recognize mental noise, to stop mental noise and by doing so being able to strengthen your potential power and personality. Highly recommended.

Mark Wouts (professional pokerplayer)

This training has a wide scope of impact, not only professional but also in private life. It teaches you to cope with setbacks and frustration. Do not expect a ready made solution. You have to deal with all the information provided in the course yourself in order to get optimal results. Very nice people from EFFEQT who really know what they talk about, you experience in everything. Beautiful surroundings, away from everyday life and a perfect place to be.

Piet van Wier (IT entrepeneur and consultant)

This training to me has to do with self awareness, a mind refreshing course. Throughout the years you get further away from your goals. This training makes you aware of that. The total concept, the intensity of it combined with the atmosphere I liked most. By being in a totally different surrounding your daily noise is removed so that the message comes across better. When you feel that you are about the get stuck in your daily or professional life, this is the ideal chance to "reset" your mind. Although I had no idea what the course would bring to me it did bring me a lot. In my opinion this course can prevent many burn out cases.

Peter Meere (professional pokerplayer and top tennis player)

The simple and effective method appeals to me greatly. Also the focus exercises were very useful as the results showed immediately. Geo is very dedicated and enthusiast in his approach which creates a relaxed and curious atmosphere. The EFFEQT Algarve Summer School has been a real eye opener to me. I now have a useful mental handhold which I can rely on in difficult situations. Furthermore this training has helped me in my development as a human being.

Martijn Leopold (Owner of an IT company, interactive game developer)

Geo uses a method that makes you very much aware via physical experience of your own being, ideas, barriers and fears. The EASS is a nice opportunity to work on your personal development and daily behaviour. A strong concept with many practical starting points is made clear in an active way. The quit and inspiring surroundings, far away from daily routines, provide space and time to let the presented ideas have full impact. The group gives feedback as well as reflection. and inspiration. In short, an excellent opportunity to make a great step forward in your quality of life.

Kurnia Helder (professional pokerplayer)

This traject was instructive, brought new insights and works inspiring. I have learned to recognize my own mental noise and to concentrate better. I have gained insight as I did not realize before that mental noise bothered me, that it influenced my performance negatively and that it is possible to reduce that noise. It was inspiring as I feel that I have more knowledge now which enables me to outperform my opponents.

Claes Wassenaar (Section Head Bio Medical Technology in a research institute)

Sometimes a training really strikes you. I think because you are ready for it, the concept appeals to you, your fellow participants are stimulating and the trainer is challenging. The EASS really made me reflect. By flying and driving and 3 days' stay with 9 other people in a villa in Portugal. Where you are sent out with Big Questions to answer, disturbed by the terrible noise of the beating of the waves: who are you and what is your mission. Learn above all to recognize your own noise, stand still and observe in the here and now. Judging can be done later…

Antoinette Helderman (IT consultant/trainer and musician)

Not only effective by content but also by form. Geo has recognized the influence of noise in traditional training and managed to reduce it drastically. The special coherence between hard work and relaxation, the location and the beautiful surroundings reinforce each other and the learning effect. I use focus and the observation-mode especially when making music. It is interesting to experience how everything seems to go in slow motion which makes playing more relaxed and easy.

Sander de Wit (Human Resources Manager Europe world leading pharmaceutical topcompany)

I had experience with a workshop by EFFEQT on dealing with mental noise and how to focus. Still I have learned a lot more and I a am on the next level now. In every day work practice I make more conscious choices which makes my work both more efficient and enjoyable. The inspiring surroundings and the interaction with the group provide an extra positive dimension.

Ard Koopman. (Marketing & PR consultant)

The EASS was a special experience to me during which I was able to look at my own being from a distance and discuss that view with others. That gave both insight and was useful to be more successful and to be able to keep being relaxed whenever necessary in different situations, varying from work to private life. On top of that I enjoyed very much the fun and the chemistry within a group of inspiring people, the beautiful surroundings and a nice method of developing myself in a combination of sport and theory.
