Pressure Talks brings people, knowledge, and organizations together around one central question: how do we continue to perform well in a world where stress, workload, and change demand increasingly more from us? We believe that sustainable performance does not arise solely from looking at absenteeism rates, isolated vitality initiatives, or temporary solutions. True change begins with a better understanding of how people function under pressure. That is why, within Pressure Talks, we connect insights from neuroscience, leadership, behavioral change, stress management, and human performance.
Looking back on 2025, there is no denying it: stress is no longer an individual issue, an HR matter, or a temporary side effect. In many organizations, stress has evolved into a structural disruption of productivity, leadership, and continuity.
Stress is not an individual issue, but a systemic problem. ‘If people in an organization repeatedly drop out due to illness, it is not down to all those individuals. And putting the burden of the solution on the employee does not work,’ states owner and director Diana de Koning of the Centrum voor Stressmanagement.

Yes, Pressure Talks can also be organized as an in-company session. The content will then be tailored to the organization, target audience, and themes that are relevant within your company, for example for management, HR, executives, or teams.
