Last week I gave a Presentation Masterclass in Amsterdam. There were 30 participants, all of them women, who wanted to feel more confident shaping and sharing their stories, as they were all at a turning point in their careers. We worked on personality, preparation, passion and performance when it comes to making a difference in […]
Recently I was working with a global opinion leader on her presentations. She was a brilliant speaker but somehow along the way she kind of forgot this. It was part of my job to remind her and to make her believe, backed up with factual evidence, that she was really a fantastic speaker to listen […]
How are you? How old are you? Oh, and how old am I? Funny you should ask. I’m 48!! I have to get used to saying that. I turned 48 yesterday and it was a wonderful day. I’ve been thinking about what it means to get older as I get older. It means a lot. It means […]
I type this with happy hands. Happy, grateful hands. Happy, grateful, tired (millions of hugs and high-fives were given) hands. IT. HAPPENED. On Saturday, August 20th, at 1 pm (Central European Time), I took a deep breath and jumped. Onstage. In front of thousands of people to do something I’ve never done before, surrounded by […]
Meet my new pet Samantha. She’s lovely. And supports me in so many ways. Spent a lot of time with her on vacation…but enough about me! How have you been, my dear? I hope you’ve had a lovely summer so far! I’m back after nearly a month in California and Oregon; It was a great mix […]
I’m trying to avoid news of the world today. Trying hard. Trying hard and failing. As I type, my phone is next to me, sending me push notifications of horrible things happening and my phone wants me to know about it right away. So I’m digging deep, focussing on my keyboard, trying to Get Stuff […]
It’s a mad, mad world. Mad as in crazy. Mad as in angry. I’m watching my country from a distance, and I am greatly concerned. About cops murdering innocent civilians. About civilians murdering cops. About Trump worrying about Muslims. About my Muslim friends worrying about their future. So. Much. Madness. All I want, truly want, […]
It was the 4th of July, 1984. Chicago. I was with my oldest friend Lisa (who is still my oldest friend today, although she is somehow still 3 months younger than I am). We had just spent a wonderful evening having a picnic in the park, and then watched the fireworks when it got dark. I […]
Wow. I mean wow. I cannot believe what happened. BREXITGATE. I love England. I studied at Cambridge and Oxford when I was younger, and I have so many English, Scottish, and Irish friends. (No Welsh friends. Not yet. Maybe Gareth Bale will want to be my friend one day. Fingers crossed.) I’ve spent a lot of time […]
Last week I was honored to give the closing talk at a Sprout event honoring young entrepreneurs. One of the topics in my talk seemed to cause a bit of a stir. It was about my favorite recipe – the Bad News Broodje. Lots of people came and talked to me about it afterwards. You see, […]
