Specialist Subjects

1. Mindset, Resilience & Agility

Mindset is Nouchka’s favorite topic because it is often the decisive factor in whether you achieve your goals or fall just short. Mindset is about focus and handling pressure—crucial in the boxing ring, but just as essential in life and certainly in business. No matter how well-prepared you are, life can sometimes feel like a boxing match. Things don’t always go as planned, and setbacks are inevitable. Nouchka will introduce you to the mindset of a boxer, helping your team stay strong during turbulent times and pursue success with full dedication.

2. Talent & Talent Development

Talent—everyone has it. Sometimes it’s obvious, and other times it remains hidden or harder to distinguish. Not everyone starts life from the same position, but we all have strengths that set us apart. Whether you turn your talent into great success depends entirely on your choices. What are the key decisions that lead to success, and how do you transform talent into extraordinary achievements? Nouchka shares the essential steps to reaching your full potential.

3. Vitality

Vitality, or literally translated: life force. It is a crucial element in making the most of life. As a top athlete, Nouchka has learned how to take care of both body and mind to excel. In a practical and down-to-earth way, she shares tips on physical and mental well-being. Movement, nutrition, and rest—these are familiar themes when it comes to taking care of yourself. But how did Nouchka optimize these factors to perform at her absolute best? And just as important: how do you ensure mental fitness as well?

4. Collaboration

Collaboration, cooperation, teamwork—these are indispensable on the road to success. Even as an individual boxer (and later in television programs like Special Forces and Expeditie Robinson), teamwork was the key to success. But how do you select the right people for the perfect team? What are the key ingredients of effective collaboration, and what can we learn from communication in elite sports? Nouchka knows better than anyone how high-performance teams bring out the best in each other.

5. Excellence

Reaching the absolute top, achieving record-breaking sales, being named agency of the year—staying ahead rather than just keeping up. The past few years haven’t been easy for most businesses. There may have been setbacks, but you’re still standing. And just like in the ring, after taking a hit, it’s time to strike back. It’s time to rise above and aim for the highest level. Nouchka will take you through what it takes to reach the absolute top.
