Present with confidence and make an impact.
Presentation Skills Training in English for Expats and Dutch Professionals.
Presenting can feel lighter — and become far more impactful.
Many professionals struggle with presenting. Some expert’s perfectionists believe the answer is to prepare more, work harder and get everything exactly right. Others hardly prepare, only to discover that in the moment they tend to talk a lot but not say a lot. Both often walk away knowing they could have made a bigger impact. But how?
I believe real impact comes from combining your expertise with knowing the fundamentals of effective communication and genuine connection.
That’s when presenting becomes really powerful.
It feels lighter, yet more grounded. Powerful, yet effortless.
It feels more you. It gives you more impact as a presenter, more fulfilment and more confidence/achievements in your work.
That’s why I created Presenting with Impact.
Making professionals flourish when they present, so they can share their knowledge with the world and attain more in their work.
This training was a true eye-opener for me. Very practical and educational. There are not many trainings (almost none) that have created that effect for me.”
— Suzanne E. (Reed Elsevier)
Join the next small-group English presentation training and start presenting with more confidence and impact.
Enroll for trainingDo you leave presentations feeling tired and discouraged? You prepared for hours and worked incredibly hard. Yet during your presentation, you notice your audience slowly drifting away.
Or do you feel you’ve let yourself down? You think as a professional you need to be able to give a good presentation without too much preparation, you know the content. How hard can it be? Still, when you present your work, it feels difficult to get your point across.
Or does every presentation fill you with dread and you cannot sleep days in advance? All the scenarios of what could happen go through your mind. What if I get a black-out, what if the technique fails, what will they think of my message? When you present you are depleted, and you are not consciously there. When it’s finally over, you feel relieved that it’s behind you. You push the experience aside—until the next presentation comes along.
There is another way.
You can present with confidence and be fully present. Instead of surviving every presentation, you can actually start enjoying them. You leave the room feeling proud, fulfilled and energized instead of relieved that it’s finally over.
“I feel much more confident and calmer when I present.”Working with Mabel was incredibly valuable. She helped me understand why I was struggling during presentations and gave me practical techniques and a completely different mindset.” Annette Keates Program manager.
Imagine.
Imagine walking into your next presentation feeling grounded instead of uncertain.
You know exactly how to prepare. You trust yourself. Instead of standing on quicksand, you metaphorically speaking feel a solid foundation beneath your feet. That gives you freedom. Freedom to adapt, to connect with your audience and to truly be yourself.
Your nerves no longer feel like something you must fight. They feel more like excitement, because you are keen to bring your information across.
You notice something else starts to shift.
Presenting no longer feels like a mount Everest to be climbed. becomes lighter. Easier. More natural.
It feels incredibly empowering to communicate your ideas and expertise with clarity and confidence. You feel freer and more creative each time you present. And something remarkable happens.
The more easily you communicate your expertise, the more opportunities begin to flow towards you. People ask you to present more often. Colleagues seek your advice. Clients want to work with you. Your ideas gain support. Doors begin to open.
Not because you became someone else. But because people can finally see the expertise you already had.
That is what happens when you become visible with your knowledge and presentations no longer gets in the way of your potential.
This gives confidence! I am so happy I did this training before my conference presentation. I was proud with myself afterwards and the reaction were very positive. I am really visible as an expert now. Boukje Scheepstra. paediatric dentist
“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
If you had met me years ago, you probably wouldn’t have guessed that I would one day become a presentation trainer.
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 or becoming someone else. It was about understanding what audiences need, connecting with your message, and working with your nerves instead of fighting them.
That discovery changed everything.
Today, I help highly educated professionals share their knowledge with clarity, confidence, and impact—so they can become more visible, influence decisions, and make a greater contribution through their work.
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.
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.

Please check the right-hand margin for the available dates.
The group consists of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 4 participants.
The training is fully conducted in English, including all instructions, reading materials, and videos. Participants are expected to have a basic command of English, as the focus of the training is on presentation skills rather than language proficiency. The programme is designed for professionals with a college or university-level background.
The training combines a clear, proven methodology with intensive, practice-oriented work. In a small-group setting, you work purposefully on your own presentation, with plenty of room for depth, nuance, and personal attention.
We follow a well-structured learning path: you experience, reflect, refine, and immediately apply what you learn. About a week before the training, you receive a short intake questionnaire to share your learning goals and context. This helps ensure the training day connects well with what participants want to work on.
Through focused, high-quality feedback — supported by video analysis — you gain clear insight into how you come across and where you can further strengthen your presentation.
The result is not only new insights, but also concrete tools that you can immediately apply in your own presentations.
