Going That Extra Mile (but not really)

Oh, sweet darling, how are you? I hope this finds you well. I need to share a little story with you today. There’s someone I see on a regular basis. He helps me understand my business better.

The Third Eye (and how it can change everything)

“OMG!!! He’s singing straight to me. I felt that. We shared a moment right there. OMG!! Did you see how he looked in my eyes? Do you….do you think he wrote that song about me?!?” I stood behind the 17-year old girl who said this and smiled in the back of the dark and noisy […]

“It’s so nice to meet you. And I’m so scared.” This is how I was greeted last Monday at the opening of my “Comfortabel Presenteren” masterclass. These words came out of the gorgeously lipsticked mouth of a very attractive, super-sharp professional woman. I asked her right away (after telling her it was lovely to meet […]

Ik ben een gelukszoeker.

IK BEN EEN GELUKZOEKER. IK BEN EEN GELUKVINDER. IK BEN EEN GELUKMAKER. Oh, sweetie. Last Wednesday I was ill. I woke up with two swollen glands and zero voice and had to cancel all my appointments. But I couldn’t stay in bed. Something was pulling me out of it and pulling clothes on me over […]
