Thomas den Hartog

Thomas den Hartog knows what it feels like to be overwhelmed by work and expectations. That’s what led him to explore yoga and meditation, not as abstract ideas, but as practical lifelines. Along the way, he learned how to combine inner calm with healthy ambition and self-development, so personal growth doesn’t come at the cost of enjoying life. Today, as a trainer and yoga teacher, he shares what he’s learned with professionals who want to work on becoming the best version of themselves while feeling more grounded, authentic and alive. His workshops are down-to-earth, personal, and accessible to anyone who’s curious about finding more peace and direction in daily life.

Session Summary

Most of us try to “manage” time as if it were a puzzle we could eventually solve. We make tighter schedules, better to-do lists, and smarter apps. And it works… for a while. Until the pressure returns, and we feel like we’re racing again.

The truth is: time will never be under control. The question is not how to manage it better, but how to live with it more lightly. This session invites you to step off the productivity treadmill. Instead of treating every minute as a problem to optimize, we’ll look at what really matters.

Are we racing forward without asking if we’re on the right road? Do we really need to plan every detail of our day? What would happen if we took time less seriously, without guilt? Together, we’ll explore how to use your limited time in a way that brings more joy, energy, and meaning. Not by squeezing in more, but by making wiser, lighter choices about what truly matters.

Before you book

Questions about Who Said You Have to Manage Time?

Is this for beginners or for people who already know the subject?

No prior knowledge is assumed. It is built for a general working audience, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction. What the hour itself covers: Most of us try to “manage” time as if it were a puzzle we could eventually solve. We make tighter schedules, better to-do lists, and smarter apps.

How long does it take, and what do we have to prepare?

It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Thomas, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.

Who can join, and where does it run?

A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.

Can our global colleagues follow it?

The session is delivered in Dutch. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.

Will our IT department have a problem with this?

No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.

How does this work under GDPR?

We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.

What do we get afterwards?

You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
