Colourful Pitching Workshop Available online
In three hours you will learn how to pitch your story to a certain type of audience. The behaviour and interest of the audience can be divided into 4 categories which together form the DISC model. Using all 4 in your pitch is best and knowing which category is most dominant in your audience helps you to tune for the optimal effect of your pitch.

Through interactive exercises you will learn how to look through "the DISC lens" and improve your story, delivery and audience interaction. You will pitch parts of your pitch several times, receive feedback and eventually experience the result in a final pitch in front of an audience, with or without using slides.

Public Speaking Training Available online
A complete training course designed for beginners and advanced public speakers.

You will learn how to use the connection between your body and your mind, between your thoughts and feelings and your behaviour, in order to get a good feeling when you present and to become a better public speaker.

For the advanced speakers the next level of using eye contact, pauses, body placement and audience interaction will help you to reach for a skill level like Barack Obama or Brené Brown or, more importantly, to speak like the best version of yourself.

We work in group sessions, in which you will learn how to:

  • Improve your focus and/or reduce your nerves
  • Use ethos, pathos and logos to persuade your audience
  • Interact effectively with an audience using body placement and body posture
  • (Re)activate and controle your audience with the Active Speech framework
  • Visualise in 3 different ways using the slide, your hands or the mind’s eye
  • Present with the support of your slides, using them like a springboard for the information, a visualisation or an audience interaction

Through 4-7 hours of homework you will learn how to:

  • Select what information could motivate your audience to listen
  • Channel your story into 4 focus points: Audience, Slide, Hands, the Mind’s eye
  • Design your slides to support presenting with the 4 focus points and with ethos, pathos and logos in mind
  • Optional: Use the Pyramid Principle to structure and prioritise the information, to eventually form a compelling story

The training uses the following formats:

  • Group discussions, presentations and exercises
  • Trainer and peer feedback
  • Take-home assignments, including informative and interactive video’s

Costs: €3750,- excl. BTW and room rental.
Travel fee: €50,- per hour of travel from Amsterdam, excl. BTW, including travel costs.
Number of participants: max. 20
Duration: 5 sessions of 3 hours and 4-7 hours of interactive videos and homework

Online version: I wil refer to how certain techniques are applied in an offline presentation. Unfortunately we cannot practise body placement and eye-contact in the same way as we would in the offline version.
Costs: €3300,- excl. BTW.
Duration: 4 sessions of 3 hours and 4-7 hours of interactive videos and homework

Voice training:
Volume, articulation, resonance and mood control
Sound has a big influence on our being; It can calm us down, make us stressed, happy or sad and even bring back memories. If this is true, then have you ever considered how much the sound of your voice influences your communication? You could use it for exactly the same purposes as listed above, use it to enthral the listening party and maybe even heighten the probability of them saying ‘yes’ to what you’re saying or what you’re asking of them. But how can you obtain this soothing sound, even in front of a large audience?
   This training will very specifically focus on training your voice. The aim is to learn to speak in a way which is not alike but very close to singing, making it possible to reach out to the furthest row, without becoming harsh. This factor, combined with a clear articulation and good intonation, will empower you to become a persuasive speaker.

Costs: €1880,- excl. BTW and room rental.
Travel fee: €50,- per hour of travel from Amsterdam, excl. BTW, including travel costs.
Number of participants: 4-8
Duration: 3 sessions of 3 hours

I can personally coach you. On an individual basis you will work on your specific problems. The exercises will be adjusted to your needs and your personal cognitions and motivation will be addressed.

Through coaching I can help you with:
