Presentation Skills for Expats and Dutch professionals

How do you present clearly and engagingly? How do you convince an international audience? How do you deal with presentation nerves?

These — and many other presentation-related topics — will be dealt with in the one-day training Presentation Skills for Expats and Dutch Professionals. After this training, you leave knowing how to successfully get your message across in an international environment.

Do you recognize yourself?

You’re good at what you do. In your daily work, you’re often seen as a strong professional — someone with solid ideas and real expertise. Yet when it comes to presenting those ideas, something doesn’t quite land.

You want to deliver professional presentations. You want to do a good job. After all, you’re the expert in the room; you know your subject inside and out.

So why does it feel like you’re failing a test the moment all eyes are on you? You hear your own voice, a little too fast, a little too high. You cling to your slides, hoping the perfect data will save you. But inside, a voice whispers: “They are bored. I’m losing them. This is not me.”

Giving a presentation can feel like standing at the foot of Mount Everest: intimidating, exhausting, and far from fun.

Yet you know that presenting is an essential skill if you want to grow in your career.

Sounds familiar? Let’s work on this together.

Now imagine this

Imagine walking off the stage feeling energised, not exhausted. The critical voice in hour head is replaced by a sense of deep satisfaction. Instead of avoiding opportunities you find yourself saying “yes” to that conference talk or leadership role.

You are no longer the quiet expert behind the desk; you’re the trusted voice that guides the conversation.

You finally take the space that your expertise has already earned – and doors begin to open.

After this training, you will:

• Present with greater ease and confidence
• Keep your audience engaged from beginning to end.
• Have strengthened your personal presentation style.

“This week already three people stopped me in the corridors of APG to tell me that my presentation was very good. Thank you very much for helping me out. I am very happy.”
— T. K. (APG)

Meet the founder of Presenting with Impact

I know what it feels like to have something important to say — and still find presenting nerve-racking.

If you had met me years ago, you probably wouldn’t have guessed that I would one day become a presentation trainer. For years, I found presenting nerve-racking. Before every presentation, I worked incredibly hard to get everything right. I rehearsed endlessly, tried to control every detail, and hoped my nerves wouldn’t take over.

Over time, I discovered that becoming a more effective presenter wasn’t about working harder, preparing endlessly, or becoming someone else.

As an introvert, I learned that I didn’t need to become an extrovert to be a confident and effective presenter. It was about understanding what audiences need, connecting with my message, and learning to work with my nerves instead of fighting them.

And somewhere along the way, I really started to enjoy presenting and became fascinated by what makes a presentation truly work.

That discovery changed everything.

It changed the way I presented — and eventually led me to help others do the same.

Today, I help highly educated professionals share their knowledge with clarity, confidence and impact. I believe everyone can learn to present effectively.

My approach combines more than 15 years of experience, an MA in English Language and Literature, international business experience as an IT consultant, and professional train-the-trainer education focused on how adults learn best.

What matters most to me is helping experts bridge the gap between themselves and their audience.

Because brilliant ideas only make a difference when people understand them, remember them, and are inspired to act.

Helping professionals share their knowledge, ideas and passion with confidence and impact is what drives me every day.

I would love to welcome you.
