Jeanne
Baker
Jeanne Bakker (1972) is a true Amsterdam at heart, known for her robust and sharp appearance. This is exactly how she analyzes and designs training and education programs.
An avid Ajacied with that wonderful Amsterdam humor, Jeanne is not your average PhD student. She has studied various disciplines, including Psychology and the Science of Education. As early as age 24, she was already delivering training courses and workshops on Personal Leadership to large groups internationally.
Jeanne has an impressive background and experience. She is the driving force behind Brain Bakery, which she founded in 2008, and initiated the Training the Trainer Program in which trainers are certified in the No More Boring Learning Concept - already in its 11th year. In 2020 she was voted L&D Person of the Year, and in 2023 her professional peers recognized her as a Thoughtleader in the field of L&D. With a list of publications including the bestseller "Dealing with Dragons" and her new children's book in the works, Jeanne continues to push the boundaries of education.
Jeanne is also the creative mind behind the podcast "No More Boring Learning. Since 2019 in Dutch and from September 2023 also in English, she shares her extensive knowledge and experience with the world on a weekly basis. Jeanne's personal life is as colorful as her professional career. She lives on a farm in North Holland, surrounded by her partner and a collection of animals. And her coffee? She drinks it with milk.

Dealing with dragons
Dealing with Dragons
Everyone has someone around them who acts like a Dragon. An annoying, narcissistic and, above all, irritating person. Someone who makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up as soon as you hear his voice. How do you deal with this? Do you avoid the person as much as possible? And what do you do when it comes to your boss? Or the colleague with whom you work a lot? Or your biggest customer? You cannot avoid this Dragon. There is then only one solution: you must tame the Dragon. And that is what this practical book is about: what you can do when you have an unavoidable Dragon in your environment.
Most people will have someone in their lives who behaves like a Dragon. An annoying, peevish and horrible person that drives you up the wall! His mere presence makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. You try your best, but within a few minutes, he's already hurt your feelings. He keeps doing what he always does; the exact thing that annoys you so. You've already given him several hints. You've experimented with different approaches towards him. You've amply discussed the Dragon with others. And yet, nothing changes. Eventually, you switch to a strategy of avoidance.
