Performance Coaching

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.

If all the world is a stage, it's people like Bonnie who ensure that there is APPLAUSE at the end of the performance. Bonnie is an amazing person who connects you to your strengths, helps you with analysing your audience and your content and managing your nervous energy. It has been an absolute pleasure knowing someone with so much positive energy, and working with her to smoothen out my rough edges before taking to the stage.

Bonnie is a very enthusiastic and driven person, who is focused on getting the best out of people. To work with her is very valuable when you have to give an important presentation. With her passion for performance, she knows how to boost your presentation skills and helps you to perform at your best!

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!

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.

-Frans Reichardt, The Client Listener, Professional Speaker & Trainer

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

After working with Bonnie I became national champion at Toastmasters humorous speech contest. 
That should say enough.

-Marcel Harmsen, Speaker & Comedian

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

Bonnie coached me on several occasions. She's inspiring, vibrant, focussed. Bonnie knows how to get you on track. She won't tell you how though - she helps you find out all by yourself. So she's a true coach in the best sense. Working with Bonnie gave me and my foundation a boost. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to make a leap, both businesswise and personally.

- Melle Dotinga, Creative Director, - The Wise Ones

"Bonnie gets people to discover new sides of themselves through her passion, humor, and friendly straightforwardness.”

-E. Koops, Mgr. Business Processes

Personally for me- you were a star. The moment you started speaking to us, I instantly felt that we all could relate to you and were loving what you brought to the table. This is a masterclass we will be talking about for sometime. I will make sure to pass on to future masterclass organizers.

- Parth Reddy, Strategy Consultant, Strategy Consultancy Europe, - Royal Dutch Shell 

I wanted to thank you again for doing such a great job with our group last week.  You did an incredible job of taking us out of our comfort zone and driving home the key elements of public speaking.  I personally won’t forget that memorization is a killer.  As your email descriptor indicates you were the “whole package”. 

- Colin Wickenheiser, Regional Strategy Consultancy Manager, - Shell International, BV.

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 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

I was impressed with Bonnie's ability to bring out the best in people. 

-B. Eslami, Global Head Regulatory Affairs, Vifor Pharma

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 randomly found Bonnie on the internet while looking for an English presentation coach. I am so glad I did. She has been to me more than a performance or dialogue coach. Her ability to truly listen to my ideas without judging, her willingness to honestly understand me as person and in what phase of my preparation I am, go beyond her technical expertise in the field. She is really ’the whole package’ you are looking for.

- Lorenzo, Entrepeneur
