The Power of Seeing the World through Another's Eyes

Ever wanted to step into the body of someone else? Now you can. This leadership training uses cutting-edge Virtual Reality technology, to help you become a better leader and have a stronger impact on the people around you and your business results.


Tempted? This experience is guaranteed to impact you in a fun way, thanks to fully immersive, interactive and gamified VR technology. Come and explore with us!
 

This is a ground-breaking training enabling you to be ‘teleported’ into the body of a woman. And see the world with her eyes. This VR experience is rooted in the neuroscience of the brain. It’s a lived experience, where you will discover what it’s really like to be a woman in a leadership position and together with your peers explore what that means for the bottom line of your company.


You put on a VR headset and get acquainted with this new tech via a short tutorial. For this, you will see and interact with a virtual world as a different person, beginning to experience the world through their perspective.


In the second part of the Virtual Reality experience, you play the main role, Anna Keller, the newly appointed Head of AI at Experium AI. You walk around using your real legs and arms. You interact with the environment and others, like in real life. You experience situations from a completely new perspective and new horizons open up for you.

To be put into day to day (business) situations where female (hidden) discrimination is happening and how it feels to be in the skin of a woman. This was an eye-opener and made me somehow speechless.
