Hellooooo and happy December! I hope this finds you well in the last month of this surreal year. Last week was a very special one for me. It was my last time volunteering as a Senior Speaker Coach for TedXAmsterdamWomen. And I ended it in a very special way. My dear friend Ferry Zandvliet was the […]
Hi! Thank you all for your messages about my last newsletter. It’s so wonderful to see how you are all applying this easy technique to face your fear (and then turn around, face front, and keep on driving!) Love it! So many people have asked me how to improve their English. Online. Right now. For […]
Hi! As you may (or may not) know, I’m deeply honored to be the English coach to some very special people. Many of my clients are CEOs or celebrities, and for them, every word counts. If they make a mistake in English, it could have serious (global) consequences. This means that sometimes, they get nervous. This means that sometimes, […]
Hello! I hope your week is off to a great start! Mine sure is. Because I am writing this on the beach. Literally. I’m sitting on my balcony overlooking the beach, where I’m staying for 5 days. This is my idea of the perfect time to go to the beach. Windy, cold, empty, rainy, misty. […]
WE. DID. IT!! I cannot believe it. I started out on the Jinek TV show. There I shared my fears and my dreams for my country. And my nails. Then I came home at 1.30 am, and stayed up for 40 hours watching CNN. I felt ALL the feelings. It kind of went like this…. […]
Hi, How are you? I hope healthy and happy, sane and safe. And me? I’m….um…. I’m trying to breathe. And stay balanced. And focussed. And busy. But it’s not easy. Tomorrow is Election Day in my country. I’ve waited for this day for many, many years. It couldn’t come fast enough, and now it’s here […]
Hi, My words to you today are……KEEP THAT DOOR OPEN! I write it in CAPS because I really mean it. Let me explain…. Have you ever ended an email with ‘I hope I have informed you enough’? Well, guess what? Most English people don’t speak Dutch. (This is shocking news, I know Hope you are […]
Hi, This is something I read about a few weeks ago and I just had to try it. I’ve started using it on myself, and my clients. I love the results I’ve seen so far, so I just had to share it with you! It’s called ‘Rose,Thorn, Bud’. I ask my clients at the end […]
Hi, How are you? Are you happy and healthy? I hope so. That’s really all that matters. For today, and for all your tomorrows. Last week I had my live presentation day for my Great in 8 coaching members. I had been working with these highly motivated, fluent speakers for a month already on their […]
Happy October? Wait….October? It’s the last quarter of the year? How did that happen (checking watch and frowning)? I’m going to keep this short as I have a book to write, clients to support, and a cheesecake to eat. In case you missed it (which is shortened to ICYMI in mails and social media posts), […]
