Happy December, my darling! It’s the last month of the year. The last time to make a difference in 2018. The last chance to stop smoking, learn how to knit, ask that hottie out, cycle up that Austrian mountain, create your own signature fragrance, design heels that are actually comfortable, and REALLY join that gym. […]
I cannot believe it. December starts this weekend. Just a few more weeks (that will fly by in a blur) and then….it’s 2019!! What are you going to do to go out with a bang? I’m not talking about fireworks on New Year’s. I mean – what will you do to make this month, December, the […]
About 18 years ago I heard that little voice again. The voice of doubt. The voice of hesitation. The little voice whispering, more and more often…’Is this….it?’ I was teaching at the most prestigious language institute of the Netherlands. I was well-paid. I had a permanent contract. It was a lovely 20-minute bike ride from […]
Achtung, baby! I’m writing you this from cloudy and gorgeous Berlin. My days here are full of meetings, inspiration and working on The Next Big Thing. Berlin is one of my favorite places to be, and I’m so fortunate that I can do what I love here too. And in Antwerp later this week. And in […]
Just the other day I was working with a new client on her presentation skills in a VIP Deep Dive. She was so ashamed to speak English in public and always let her nerves get in the way. I asked her who she admired as a public speaker in English, and she named one of […]
“Buffi, I have written out my entire speech. I have practiced every word. I know every single one by heart. I know exactly how to stand and exactly when to move. I’m 100% prepared.” This makes me nervous. Really nervous. Why? As a coach, it’s my job to help you prepare your pitch, presentation, or […]
Let me cut to the chase. What do so many other languages have that we don’t have in English? It’s a formal and informal way of saying ‘you’. We don’t have U or je, vous or tu, usted or tu, du or Sie (which just auto corrected to ‘do or die’, which made me laugh, […]
As you may or may not know, I only see 1 person a day as a personal English coach. It’s busy and there’s a waiting list (but the sessions are so worth waiting for). If you’d like to work on your English and personal coaching doesn’t fit your schedule or your budget, I have the […]
I’ve never done this before, so how can I mess it up? A few days ago I launched a card game. Do I know anything about card games? Nope. So why did I do it? I wanted to find a fun way for adults to learn and improve their English. This is kind of my […]
How’s your Thursday going? I hope this finds you well, and you know I wouldn’t interrupt your week unless it was pretty special. And…it is! Tomorrow night is the debut of the TV show I’ve been working on since the spring – The Talent Project! It’s on RTL4 at 20.30 for the next 7 weeks. […]
