VitalTalent Named Benelux Partner for Getting Things Done Training

After having held exclusive rights to Crucial Learning training in the Benelux for over a decade, VitalTalent is now privileged to add the Getting Things Done Foundational Course to its core curriculum. This new partnership allows the international training company to expand its service offering with the prestigious GTD program developed by world-renowned productivity expert David Allen.

The GTD approach has proven effective over many years, and it makes a fantastic addition to the training program offered by VitalTalent, says Jeroen Molenaar, owner and director at VitalTalent. This training is synonymous with productivity and stress reduction, exactly what today’s teams need. We are looking forward to making a significant impact on the working world.

Stress-Free Productivity is Learnable

The GTD training is specifically designed to instruct people in the art of stress-free productivity. Allen’s method helps individuals redefine their work and life with less stress and more focus. Since November 2023, VitalTalent has held the license for this popular course in the Benelux region and thereby replaces the previous license holder, Meereffect.

Dennis Niemel, an experienced GTD trainer at VitalTalent, adds, “The Getting Things Done method is revolutionary in its simplicity and effectiveness. It’s a pleasure to see how participants transform their work and personal lives through our training. This also extends to those who can become trainers themselves and thus spread the idea further within their own organization.”

From Chaos to Order

Training based on Allen’s bestseller “Getting Things Done” teaches participants to transform chaos into order and to manage complex tasks with ease and less resistance in just a few steps. It is a proven approach that greatly reduces mental stress while increasing productivity and focus.

High-Impact Training

VitalTalent, which became part of Epic Agility in 2023, is known for its innovative and impactful approach to learning and development. “Our mission is to assist people and organizations to realize their potential, and the GTD training suits this goal perfectly,” says Molenaar.

GTD Foundational Course by Crucial Learning

With a customer rating of 8.5 out of 10 and a Cedeo score of even 9.6 out of 10, VitalTalent Benelux promises that the Getting Things Done Foundational Course by Crucial Learning will equip participants with the necessary skills to transform their daily work and personal lives. Participants can register for both classroom and virtual sessions, with the option for teams to organize the GTD course in-house and to become trainers themselves.
