Trainer, visual facilitator

Maaike Borsboom

Něco pracovního

After moving from a career as a manager in social services to interim management, my professional direction changed after I completed the Bikablo® visual facilitation training. This experience led me to establish INKSIGHT, where we combine creative thinking, visual dialogue and change-focused solutions to effectively manage change and address complex challenges. Through extensive training in mediation, change management and leadership, we help organizations achieve meaningful transformation. As a certified global Bikablo trainer, I help teams find new perspectives and streamline processes, creating an environment where clarity, collaboration and innovation flourish.

Něco osobního

In my free time, I let my creativity flow — I draw with ink, spend time with family and friends, go for walks, I love to cook and, of course, I love good food. However, I devote most of my time to studying Chinese -- speaking, reading, practicing calligraphy with a brush, and reading many books about China. I have online lessons with my teacher in China every week, and I write with my colleagues there almost daily.

1) Jak bys popsala svou práci jednou větou?

I am a visual facilitator who playfully creates space to explore complex issues and challenges you and your team to gain clarity and insight that unleashes creative thinking and potential.

2) Co tě v životě ovlivnilo a jak se to projevuje ve tvé práci?

Creative thinking and problem solving along with bringing people together are central themes in my life. Growing up in the countryside in a loving family that offered plenty of room for creativity and experimentation - my father, who worked as a scientific inventor - instilled in me a passion for innovation. Later, at university, I combined creative methods and group dynamics to guide people through complex personal and societal problems. Through the different roles of team leader, project leader, manager and entrepreneur, my leadership skills developed. When I became a mediator, I adopted a non-judgmental approach to supporting people in conflict that allows for meaningful dialogue and resolution. As a mother of three, I gained valuable experience balancing multiple needs. When I completed visual facilitation training, everything came together: I discovered a creative tool that allows me to help individuals and groups unravel complex issues, foster connections, and strengthen their ability to navigate the desired future.

3) Proč pracuješ právě pro humancraft?

I enjoy working in an international context, focusing on the growth and development of people while helping to make connections between potential and strategy. Working with people from different cultures provides valuable self-reflection. I firmly believe that people are at the heart of any society, and by creating space for growth and the exchange of experiences, personal and group development flourishes. This in turn helps companies deliver better products and services. A focus on skills development as well as interpersonal growth enables companies and their people to thrive.

5) Jaký vliv má tvá práce na tvůj osobní rozvoj a profesní cesty?

My work with individuals and groups offers insights and feedback that serve as a powerful mirror and deepen my personal reflections. Being part of the international community of trainers as well as the European community of visualizers contributes to the depth of my self-assessment and growth. Regular interaction with people from different cultures provides constant self-reflection. In addition to my professional work, I attend classes, trainings, read books and exchange views with friends and colleagues. I use art and meditation to process everything.

6) Jaké jsou podle tebe největší výzvy, kterým dnes korpotátní vzdělávání čelí a jak se humancraft snaží tyto výzvy řešit?

The corporate world faces several challenges: Finding time for personal development and reflection, which can often conflict with commercial goals and a large workload. Stay ahead of future developments and stay competitive in an ever-evolving world. Find time to think about and identify new trends, create a clear vision and strategy, and don't rush into quick solutions. humancraft seeks to address these challenges by fostering an environment that favors personal and organizational growth, fosters deep thinking, and fosters sustainable strategies.
