Management Team Magazine!

I’m honored to be featured in the latest MT Magazine! Have a look at this article and let me know if you recognise any of the mistakes…..of course YOU have never made them, but maybe one of your colleagues has! (Wink wink.) One word can make you or break you in English!

How To Leave That Crap Behind (Fast)

Last week I was honored to give a Masterclass about my career called ‘How To Break The Rules’ at the Conservatory of Amsterdam. I was talking to new graduates, who were about to take over the music industry (and the rest of the world) in a few short weeks. They had tons of questions and […]

My 4-point plan to Stop The Rudeness (Yes, I mean you.)

Happy Monday! Well, it happened again. And again. WHY is this happening all the time? Because people don’t know the rules until they break them. And then – it’s too late! I heard a client say she got an unusual reaction from one of her British counterparts recently. They were in a meeting and when […]

Excuse me, do you speak British?

Oh, I don’t know where to start. This week and the last have been an absolute blur. This is what I remember… I guess it had something to do with…COVFEFE…? Last week, all was well. I was working in Berlin, hanging with my friends, eating fabulous avocado toast at Cafe Oliv while wearing my new favorite […]

From ‘bleh’ to ‘BAM’ in 90 seconds flat!

To me, communication is like painting. If you use the same colors over and over again, it gets pretty boring. Boring for you, and boring for your readers or listeners. (Unless you’re Mondrian. He did pretty well with the same colors. If you’re not Mondrian, keep reading!) Today, people’s attention span is so decimated. We […]

If you’re tired of your story, this is what you should do….

Nothing. That’s what you should do. And that’s exactly what I told the top CEO who called me last week. This is the lowdown of what happened. He said he was tired of his story. He said he had told it so many times it was boring. He said he wanted to stop sharing his […]

If You Think Your Story Doesn’t Matter (you know where this is going, right?)

Happy Monday, my darling! I was so excited to talk to 70 female entrepreneurs at the Harper’s Bazaar Network Academy launch last week at the Pulitzer Hotel. It was a gorgeous location (if you get a chance to sit in their garden- DO!) filled with incredibly inspiring women, and don’t even get me started on […]

Batter Up! (Or ‘5 Tips On How To Pitch Like A Winner’.)

A very happy Monday(s) to you indeed! I hope this finds you well. I had a wonderful time in Paris and I hit the ground running- can’t keep my sweet clients waiting for too long! (Oh, and I filmed a mini-lesson while I was away – click here in case you missed it.) I’ve been […]

Sold Out!

I’m deeply honored to be one of the speakers (together with Nancy Poleon) at the launch of Harper’s Bazaar Network Academy tomorrow! I’ll be talking about confidence in public speaking and how to get some of it! (Ok. Lots of it!) It’s sold out so I hope you grabbed your ticket!

Heel Holland Hugt strikes again!
