How do you think clearly? Or, a more fundamental question: how do you even think? We think all day, but rarely reflect on our thinking. At most we evaluate the results of our thinking, but not the thinking process itself. Even though we still have a lot to learn about our thinking. Providing people with insight in their thinking, and offering them tools to think more clearly, that is what De Denkacademie does.

How can we solve a problem together? How do I utilise the knowledge of my co-workers? How do you make an informed and well-considered decision? How do we convince others of our point of view? These kinds of questions – the type of questions our clients call us with at De Argumentenfabriek – have inspired me my whole adult life.

Suzanne Weusten
Director and trainer

Trained as a psychologist, I used to teach psychology at a polytechnic college. Subsequently I switched to journalism and became editor-in-chief of Psychologie Magazine (a monthly magazine) and a member of the editorial staff of the daily newspaper De Volkskrant. In 2009 I started De Denkacademie (The thinking Academy), together with Kees Kraaijeveld, with whom I also wrote the book De gids voor helder denken (Dutch only). This book, which already sold more than 10000 copies, forms the basis of our work at our De Denkacademie (The Thinking Academy).

Trainer

I’ve been a trainer at De Denkacademie (The Thinking Academy) since January 2014. The training courses fit my professional background, and my love for making complex situations manageable. We do that by providing means and techniques that enable you to make abstract information more concrete.
