Performance Coaching

Speaking with Impact
Whether you’re leading change, presenting an idea or pitching a product, besides communicating the information, your job is to make sure your message really gets across.

When your audience is international, it takes extra focus, awareness, and skill to make the impact you want. And when English is not your first language, but is your professional language, it can be even more challenging.

For non-native speakers

Would you like to appear as eloquent in English as you do in your own native language?

We focus specifically on: ease with the language, intonation, grammar, pronunciation, and any other support you need to convey your message with integrity, enthusiasm and natural flair.

HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER

Like actors, speakers need to be stage-worthy, know their material and establish trust in who they are and what they say.

By combining creative methods from the theater, with the vision of how people can get the best out of themselves, I help you to convey the essence of your message with integrity, enthusiasm and confidence.

SPEAK TO BE REMEMBERED

With creativity and energy, Bonnie taught me how to speak about my artist practice with precision, humor and impact. She perfectly adapted herself to my context and personality in order to give me personalised precious tools to build my presentation, capture the attention of the public and answer tricky questions. The best is that these techniques are also serving me in my daily life, well beyond my presentation.

- Florence, Visual Artist
Bonnie's approach is experience oriented. She knows exactly which exercises people need to enable them to grow. Challenging and with clear feedback.

-Jitske Kramer, The Culture Academy
Imagine a coach who is able to keep your thinking out of the box, spark your inner creativity, clear your cloudy thoughts and make you laugh every time it is needed. That is how I see Bonnie. After only a couple of sessions with her, I felt more confident to share my vision. It is much easier to present new ideas and get new business if your thoughts are translated into words. That is how Bonnie helped me and I'm sure she can help you too.

- Lubo Tomko, Experience Designer, Communication Strategist, Entrepeneur
I had the pleasure of working with Bonnie as coach for my TEDxAmsterdam Women talk in 2017 on healthy eating. I greatly appreciated her way of handling me, her directness (very un-American!), sense of humor and her tireless effort to help my message come to fruition. Our work together was very effective and great fun!

- Eric van Furth, Clinical Director GGZ Rivierduinen Eating Disorders Ursula
Bonnie coached me in crystallizing my complex content into engaging messages and great interaction with the audience. The result was: a keynote address was turned into a great opportunity for an impactful moment to inspire people with the mission and move the agenda forward. Because my address was polished, concise, memorable, and highly authentic.

-Victor Neyndorff, Architect for customer & employee engagement and brand equity growth
After working with Bonnie I became national champion at Toastmasters humorous speech contest.
That should say enough.

-Marcel Harmsen, Speaker & Comedian
Bonnie helped me craft and practice a 5 minute pitch for my business to attract investors and customers. I found her approach to coaching to be constructive. We began by recording my pitch and then talking about both the overall structure of it and its message, as well as dissecting each line or part to ensure I was maximizing each word. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

- Jane Palmer, Founder of Nature Coatings LLC
I was impressed with Bonnie's ability to bring out the best in people.

-B. Eslami, Global Head Regulatory Affairs, Vifor Pharma
Working with Bonnie was wonderful and very energizing. She took the time to walk my colleague and I through our entire presentation giving us worthy feedback as we went along. Besides helping us with our storyline, Bonnie coached us on how we actually delivered the message. I would recommend Bonnie to anyone preparing for an important presentation or who wishes to improve their presentation skills in general.

-Johan Lentjes, Sales Executive
Bonnie helps you to connect with and inspire others, build trust and be clear. Most importantly, Bonnie is a great listener and observer. She has an inviting way of coaching that helps you work on showing the best authentic version of yourself.
