Speaker

I am lucky enough to be regularly invited to speak at various companies, educational institutions and initiatives. This can be as an empowerment speaker, but also for giving workshops on digital visibility, for example. I also work together with Jong Ondernemen, InHolland, GO-NH! and various other parties aiming to motivate and inspire people. I am also regularly active as a jury member for entrepreneurial pitches.

15 years

For more than 15 years I have focused on guiding, motivating and inspiring starters and Start-ups large and small, in various industries at home and abroad. I started my first business when I was 27. Full of energy and confidence, I set to work. A lot was unclear, I knew too little about entrepreneurship. It wasn’t in my ‘blood’, but I started out anyway, because I believed in myself and in my idea.

In the meantime, more than 15 years later, I have gained a lot of experience and helped more than 200 ambitious clients achieve their goals and dreams, the majority of which now have successful businesses and are active in a variety of different industries at home and abroad. I also work for the reintegration company Startwijzer, where I coach people who are reintegrating towards entrepreneurship or suitable work.

Starters large and small

In 2020 I launched my practical workbook “Your journey towards entrepreneurship”. A guide book developed especially for starters and people who are considering starting their own business. I am also fortunate enough to be regularly invited to many universities in Europe and Asia to give seminars on empowerment, pro-activity and entrepreneurial thinking. The majority of my time though, is dedicated to supporting start-ups, (especially sustainable) start-ups that want to grow from a € 1 to € 10 million turn over. I do this both on behalf of the entrepreneurs themselves and also on behalf of governments at home and abroad.
