Booster sessions for the people on your stage, like the ones we run for TEDx speakers.

“Every participant had the opportunity to practice, receive constructive feedback, and refine their skills in a safe and encouraging environment.”
Felicia de JongProgramme Coordinator, Center for Maritime Economics and Logistics, Erasmus University Rotterdam
“Their practical workshops gave our students just what they needed: inspiration to further improve their presentation energy and, perhaps most importantly, confidence!”
Judith WerkhovenAssociate Academic Director, MSc People, Organisations and Change, RSM
“The workshop helped the group to step out of their comfort zone and become more confident speakers.”

“Pitching can often feel intimidating, but with the fun and relaxed atmosphere she fostered, it became a genuinely enjoyable activity.”
Isa LoosErasmus Alumni Club · Pitching Workshop

We also run free workshops and partner with NGOs, because skill training should be open to everyone.
