Often the walls fly at you after a while and the inspiration runs out. Luckily, that can be done differently. More and more companies are discovering the power of \u2018meeting in the green\u2019. But why does a meeting or brainstorming session in a natural environment actually work so much better?    <\/p>\n<p>Away from the daily hustle and bustle and surrounded by nature, the best ideas arise. We put the most important advantages in a row for you. <\/p>\n<p>1. More creativity and better focus<br \/>\nNature has a proven positive effect on our brain. Scientific research shows that a green environment improves cognitive functions. It lowers the stress level and ensures that we process information better. Instead of stuck thinking patterns, the peace of the park provides fresh focus and creative insights. Making big decisions or brainstorming out-of-the-box? In the green, it goes almost by itself.     <\/p>\n<p>2. A relaxed and open atmosphere<br \/>\nA different environment does something to the dynamics in a team. As soon as the formal office atmosphere falls away, space arises for openness. Conversations flow more smoothly and the mutual connection grows. Whether it concerns a business training, a strategic session, or a teambuilding day; meeting in the green brings the informal, constructive atmosphere that is needed for real result.   <\/p>\n<p>3. Fresh nose during the break<br \/>\nThe big advantage of a meeting in a park environment is the possibility to step outside for a moment in between. Instead of a break at the coffee machine, you walk straight into nature for a short walk. A fresh nose between the presentations through recharges the battery in no-time again, because of which the well-known \u2018afternoon dip\u2019 stays away.  <\/p>\n<p>Meeting tailor-made at Restaurant Wilhelminapark<br \/>\nAre you looking for the perfect location for a business meeting in Utrecht? In the middle of the monumental Wilhelminapark, we combine peace, space, and professional hospitality. Our location offers an inspiring view over the greenery and the pond, while the city center of Utrecht is still surprisingly close by.  <\/p>\n<p>We unburden your team from A to Z with modern facilities and a high-quality culinary implementation. From a welcome with coffee and luxury delicacies to an extensive 3- or 4-course lunch to recharge the battery again: our menu changes regularly and moves along with the seasons. Close the intensive meeting day off with an informal drink with our unique drink packages and bites, or slide cozy at the table for a refined dinner.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-635966&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;679666&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":582,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-niet-gecategoriseerd"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Meetings in green: why it really works better - Restaurant Wilheminapark<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Why do meetings in green spaces work better?
