> “Daarnaast zijn er ook bedenkelijke opleidingen die in aanmerking komen voor de subsidies die de Vlaamse overheid voor kmo’s voorziet”, zegt Duyck. “De overheid financiert dus enkele van die opleidingen. Dergelijke bedrijven gebruiken die impliciete erkenning om te doen alsof ze een waardevol diploma aanbieden, maar eigenlijk stelt dat niks voor. Opleidingen worden niet op kwaliteit gecontroleerd.”
How completely unexpected. Using tax payer money to fund charlatans without even checking for quality.
At my previous employer the HR department was infatuated with Insights, a system that essentially argues that there are four personality “colours” representing archetypical personalities. I wish I was kidding.
It’s based on hot air, even obviously so, and imho a net negative for the organisation as it promotes extreme pigeonholing (“hokjesdenken”), and any criticism of it is absolutely taboo.
And yet companies pay very good money and invest a considerable amount of time in that kind of thing.
Then again, I’m probably only saying this because I am so *blue*…
Most life coaches I’ve seen on fb and insta are toxic personalities. Feeding on the doubts of their “clients”, they’re breaking their clients down, make them doubt the outside world and their owm judgement even more than they already did. When you call them out, you get deleted, muted and blocked.
We’re on Reddit here, aren’t we all ‘coaches’ and ‘experts’ in everything? It has been turning out very well.
