Integere, authentieke en down to earth-benadering. Veel praktijkuitwissel, toch onderbouwd tot relevante theorie. Een positieve en krachtige training. Ik neem tips, advies en vooral empowerment mee.

Ik ga zeker onthouden: Tijd nemen, goed voorbereiden, bepalen wat je wil meegeven, zeker van jezelf.

Elizabeth geeft een sterke training, die start vanuit sterktes en tegelijkertijd ook de te versterken punten aangeeft.

I attended Elizabeth’s speaking course as part of a private event. Despite the short workshop, I learned a great number of hacks that I have been using in my daily work since.

In addition to the speaking tricks of the trade, Elizabeth had framed all of the exercises in a context that gave a lot of food for thought – especially for women speakers preparing for panels and bigger presentations.

Speaking is something very personal, but Elizabeth’s way of advising was definitely empowering and encouraging in the most positive way possible.

Elizabeth was very warm and relatable, worked well with small team. I think a lot was covered in a short time and it was well adapted to the needs of our small team with quite different needs. The training combined practical and emotional/psychological insight cleverly and persuasively. It felt adapted to our needs, practical and interactive.

Expect a hands on training from someone who can listen to and adapt to their needs, and has genuine expertise to share.

Elizabeth is a very competent trainer who knows her subject material and who is able to help with broad challenges as well as specific concerns. I learned that how you say something is as important, if note more important that what you say. I learned that the most important aspect of any public speaking is to have a clear message that can be expressed as both a power phrase or as part of a long speech.

Elizabeth heeft een toegankelijke stijl en geeft heel concrete bruikbare tips, zowel voor mensen die nog nooit op een podium stonden als voor doorwinterde sprekers. Wat ik zeker ga onthouden: Praat trager en gebruik de kracht van stiltes om te overtuigen.

Een goede structuur, tips over houding en spreekritme en de kans om meteen te oefenen. Je krijgt het allemaal. En het is de enige manier om overtuigend met impact te leren spreken. Dat doe je bij Elizabeth.

The German Marshall Fund of the US hired Elizabeth for a one day intensive training on Innovating Events and Better Speaking.

“Elizabeth is great at listening as well as conveying messages in a concise and effective way. She is also really good at highlighting positive aspects during her evaluation (of the participant’s speaking exercises) and giving advices without criticising.”

“Finding out about different confidence building techniques based on different personalities provided me with great insight.”

“Rich course, well structured.”

“Very interesting concepts & tips.”

Elizabeth is a pleasure to work with, engaged and curious. From the first meeting where we discussed the brief and the task at ahead, Elizabeth was fully engaged, curious and asked lots of helpful questions to focus on what was needed. Once Elizabeth was briefed and understood what needed to be done, I felt confident about letting her get on with building a rapport with the speakers and developing the panels for the day. She also showed good grace and professionalism in a pressured situation in rehearsals. Elizabeth’s presenting work was great – calm and thoughtful. Elizabeth was a really crucial part of the events team.

Heel boeiende training. Het beste aan de training vond ik de interacties tussen elkaar. We opereerden als een team en kwamen samen tot een idee.

De delen rond zelfvertrouwen en forming-storming-norming-performing maakten de meeste indruk.

Al bij al een heel dynamische sessie met persoonlijk advies dat duidelijk werd aangepast aan onze verwachtingen.

Learning about all the manifestations of self-doubt (apologizing, weak voice, holding back) was a real eye-opener.  The training gave me the tools to develop a new relationship with my nerves and my emotions. The small group size, interactive exercises and the sharing of stories make the day very valuable for me. I am now familiar with the key ingredients for a good public speaking performance.

The tools and tips ere very useful. And so were the exercises. Learning about different personality types in the audience was one of the most valuable parts in the training for me. A well prepared, methodical trainer with a lot of flexibility!

Het beste vond ik: Elizabeths persoonlijke aanpak, de interactie, de team spirit en de kleine maar handige tips zoals: trager spreken, eenvoudige maar visueel sterke slides gebruiken, ‘slides die ertoe doen’.

Welke boodschap wil je meegeven aan je doelpubliek? Welk gevoel wil je vooral meegeven? Dat ga ik zeker onthouden en blijven toepassen. Het forming-storming-norming-performing gebruik ik ook in de praktijk.

Ik ervaarde de training als positief en dynamisch. Ik heb geleerd hoe je een boodschap overbrengt en dat belangrijk zijn: de juiste lichaamstaal/houding, een gecontroleerde stem, en trager spreken.

Elizabeth is een dynamisch persoon die advies geeft op maat van de organisatie.

Elizabeth run a one day training on Impactful PPTs for consultants at Interel in the end of 2014. Her session was lively, practical with plenty of great illustrations and insightful ideas. the PPT she prepared was a model to use. All participants agreed in saying that Elizabeth delivered it in a most interesting and hands-on way. We’ll definitely continue working with Elizabeth on many other training topics.

Elizabeth heeft haar training echt toegespitst op ons bedrijf en op de behoeften van ons team en mezelf. Ze leeft zich maximaal in in je product of dienst. Het resultaat is dat we dankzij de training gemotiveerdere medewerkers hebben en een succesvolle beursdeelname.

Wat ik altijd zal blijven onthouden is: Zwijgen is goud!

The Nestle Public Affairs team hired Elizabeth as a speaker coach for the high profile conference Food4Talk, featuring 4 outstanding speakers. Elizabeth’s task was to align their performance style, timing and messaging to create a coherent conference story.

I highly appreciated the simplicity and clarity of her instructions, her sharp eye for details and her approach to the content on all levels. Elizabeth showed how even very experienced speakers can make their talks more impactful.

I would definitely recommend Elizabeth because of the very smooth and pleasant guidance she provides and her ability to handle complex clients and projects.

To-the-point, klantgerichte en aangename training. Een aanrader!
