Come hear me speak in the UK Next Week!

Category:speaking Tags : 

I love going to the UK, people know that, heck some people that don’t know me even have called me “one fellow in the U.K.“, even though I am not from the UK and even though I live in the Netherlands ;).

But to get to the point: I really like going there and next week I will be spending the entire week in the UK doing what I love most: speaking and meeting up with friends.

If you are in the UK this is THE chance to come and see me speak because there are multiple opportunities.

I Am Now A Faculty Member Of The Speakers Academy!

Category:speaking Tags : 

I have some really exciting news to share with you. Starting today I am A faculty member of the Speakers Academy. This means that from now on you can book me as a speaker, trainer or moderator through the Speakers Academy. I am now featured in between some of the biggest names in the speaking industry, which makes me very proud.

I decided to join the Speakers Academy because, well first of all because they let me of course ;), but mostly because I feel that the Speakers Academy stands for class, something I’d like to connect my name to.

Also speaking and workshop projects have become really busy lately with a lot of speaking and training sessions planned. Arranging them all became too much work so The Speakers Academy is kind enough to now arrange that for me.

I am very happy with this and hope to to have a long lasting relation with them. You can find my profile page in Dutch and English right here. Hope to see you soon on some workshop or when I’m speaking! Go book or spread the word ;).

My presentation on SES London 2011 (#sesuk)

Category:speaking Tags : 

Yesterday I spoke on the “Marketing to the European Union” panel at SES London. I was joined by Mikkel deMib, Ciaran Norris and Kristjan Hauksson and we were moderated by Andy Atkins Kruger. It was a good session in which many different cultural aspects of Europe were brought to the attention. It wasn’t a very ‘technical’ session, but sort of an ‘introduction’ to Europe. Here’s my part of the session:
