Great speakers, interaction and a day to remember.

Disclaimer: You may accidentally learn something about yourself during this event

which will leave you amazed

We invite you...

...to step out of your comfort zone.... Or just stay in it, ya know. We're not going to tell you what to do. Come and enjoy the speakers, be pampered by the barrista and experience the impressive workshops. Whatever you are looking for, we have it. Or aren't you looking? Fck it! Fine too. Come and enjoy yourself. You choose your ideal party; chit-chat with like-minded people, get inspired in the main area, or unwind in the café. Whatever you choose, after this day you will believe in happiness. And you don't even need the state lottery to do that.

No fluffy stuff!

Make no mistake. This event is nice and superficial, with two public speakers providing theory
is put in rock-hard perspective with a good dose of humour. After all, we're not just going to run here
breathing and drumming there should be laughter too. 'Tis also our free Saturday afternoon.

Mentali-Time has given me different insights about myself, and about other people. How to get to know people, and what certain signals can mean.

I have learned through the course to learn to listen to my inner compass. Intuition has definitely been strengthened.

It’s a really fun way to learn different things about personal development and apply them straight away.

No sorry for your choices

You don't have to get tougher to be stronger. During this edition of Mentali-Time, you will discover how to choose for yourself, without drama or guilt. Expect a powerful mix of self-reflection, recognition and action. We go from pleasing to choosing, from nodding yes to really listening to yourself. You decide.

Where: Brandpunt, Breda
When: Saturday 31 January 2026, 12:30 to 16:00
How much: €25,- €10 (Maximum 25 participants)

You want to set your limits, but your head tells you not to disappoint others. Meanwhile, the pressure is piling up and your schedule is getting fuller than your energy allows. Recognisable? Then this is your moment to do things differently. Mentali-Time helps you feel what you need and stay true to it.

Together with Rick van Brussel (Motivation Hunters), you will dive into the mechanism of people-pleasing, learn how to make clear choices and practise saying ‘no without fuss’. Don't expect a sermon but insights, tools and conversations that stick. You will go home with more clarity, direction and peace of mind.

Whether you often cross your own boundaries, or simply want to be stronger in your shoes: this event will give you the space, the questions and the support to do so. In a safe setting, with others who want to grow as much as you do. Powerful, vulnerable and without excuses.

Stop saying sorry for who you are. You get to choose. And this is the moment.

Why would a bunch of grey old blokes know what’s going on in your head?

About Inner Confidence

Inner Confidence is here to help you back yourself — so you can actually enjoy a night out or chill with your mates, instead of stressing about uni, your looks, or whatever else your brain’s currently spiralling over.

You’re a total badass in your own way. By helping everyone tap into their inner confidence and be more open, we’re aiming for a world where talking about your feelings isn’t weird — it’s just normal. A society with less judgement, fewer boxes, and way more honesty.

Because honestly — why would a bunch of grey old blokes have a clue how you feel? At our events, we create a safe, open space where you can share what’s on your mind, work through it, and maybe even learn something from it. Every Inner Confidence event comes with one rule: come for the vibes, stay for the insight.

During Assertiveness, I take you through how to stand firm without shouting, how to say no without guilt and how to listen without losing yourself. It's not about getting tougher, but about being clearer. With more peace, more self-confidence and more space for who you really are. Expect practical insights, recognisable situations and tools you can apply immediately. No masks, no tricks, just you learning to stand up for yourself with empathy, respect and courage.
About Enrique

Setting boundaries without drama

Here’s what we’re getting up to.

Sometimes you feel you are over your limit, but smile anyway. You say yes while everything in your body screams no. You can let go of that pattern. In this session, you discover where your boundary starts, what is so exciting about it, and how you can stay firm without getting tough. No drama, no tricks. Just you, honest and clear.

We work with realistic scenarios, personal reflection and playful assignments. You will learn what triggers you to say ‘yes’ anyway, and how to give a different answer from self-confidence. Including the Pomodoro method as a tool to guard your time and protect your energy.

This is not an afternoon where you sit back passively. You will experience, practice, share and grow. And no, it doesn't have to be perfect. It's about getting moving and feeling that you are in control. In your way, at your pace. No more sorry.

Here’s what you’re in for:

  • Inspiring speakers who will challenge you
  • Young, motivated participants.
  • A no-nonsense place to recover.
  • An experience you won't soon forget.
  • You learn more about yourself than you expected.

F.A.Q.

How important are routines really?

More than you think. Not because they make your life perfect, but because they remove noise. Routines give you rhythm, so you don't have to fight with yourself every day. They make space for what really matters. Not tight. Firm. Not pressure. But direction.

Why is 'I have to work' easier than 'I don't want to'?

Because ‘I have to work’ feels safe. You sound busy. Important. Socially responsible. But ‘I don't want to’ takes guts. Because then you say: this doesn't suit me, even if you expect something else. And that is exciting. But being honest is stronger than please behaviour. You only feel boundaries when you dare to express them.

We're in those last reps. Hype me up.

Let go of that doubt. This is your moment.
Pull through that pain. You still have strength left. Use it.
No excuses. No soft shit.
Keep breathing. Keep pushing.
Everything that matters is in this rep.
Flick through now and finish it.
