How 2 words can change everything when you’re nervous (and when you’re not)
Something happened in a coaching session recently and I just wanted to share it with you. I was working with someone who is used to public speaking, but he still got nervous before hitting the stage. Every time. He got caught up and trapped in the circle of adrenaline that snowballed through his body and […]
Let the Ass Saving begin!
My new book ‘100 Ways To Save Your Ass In English’ is out on May 20th! I was featured in Sprout talking about what (NOT) to say when it comes to professional English! I was also profiled in the Brabants Dagblad where I held my book up high and ran to the photographer (as he requested) and the action […]

Achtung, baby!
I love what I do and am so lucky to do it in places that I love. I just finished a Masterclass series in Berlin, and it was great! It’s the 6th time I’ve done this coaching course and I have to say that it keeps getting better and better. I am really impressed by […]
Would you say that to someone you love? No. So stop saying that to yourself.
Hi from Berlin! I’m here for a series of masterclasses on English songwriting, communication and pronunciation. I love what I do so much and I’m so fortunate that I get to do it in different places. Berlin is my second favorite city in the world (NY is number 1) and I just love working here […]

I introduced each speaker with a poem I wrote especially for […]

Jury duty….
I was honored to be on the jury for the Nederland Vertaalt competition, together with Erik de Jong (aka Spinvis) and Andrew Niemeijer! Hundreds of students sent us their versions of 2 different songs that had to be translated into English or Dutch. One of the songs was ‘Kom Terug’ by Spinvis, which just happens to be […]
I jumped. And you caught me. Thank you.
Happy Easter Monday! Maybe I should start calling it Eater instead of Easter. Because my body is truly about 68% chocolate at this point. But still. It’s lovely living in a country where you get an ENTIRE EXTRA DAY to eat chocolate. And if you live somewhere where Easter is celebrated only on Sunday, I can guarantee you […]
