“I have never seen such an enthusiastic professional. Jan stood in front of the group every time with an enthusiasm that you could tell. Thanks to his accurate tips, tricks and sound advice, everyone's presentation skills have really improved. His feedback is confrontational but always constructive!”
"Fantastic! Very relevant for all our correspondents!”
” Jan has done an excellent job coaching our speakers on how to best convey their story with impact. I really noticed the difference on stage. Can highly recommend him!”
“Jan helped me enormously with my first major presentation for 500+ people. Jan is bursting with energy and knowledge and is a nice person to work with. He is critical, but gives you all the tools you need to learn. He made sure I was fully prepared to give the presentation. Both substantively and strategically. From preparation to thinking beyond that one presentation. Jan motivated and inspired me enormously during the conversations. I will sound the alarm again at the next presentation. I look forward to working with you again! Thanks a lot for your help."
“What a joy it was to work with Jan! Not only because he has such a warm, friendly personality, but in a nice way he kept challenging me to go outside my comfort zone and become even better. To make the talk even better. Under his guidance and with his obvious expertise, I now have an impressive talk, which I have presented several times for companies and in which my personal story comes together perfectly with my company mission. Jan: he really thinks along with you, is flexible and acts as a collaborative partner. I could always contact him for advice or just sparring in between and I still call him if I suddenly have a question! In short: I can recommend everyone to work with Jan on that kick-ass (TED) talk!
For ambitious professionals
You want to learn to speak convincingly and with confidence. Compose and tell a story that inspires, activates and stays with the audience. Prevent fear of speaking and be better prepared on stage.
Working on a TED-worthy presentation, your way, at your pace. In a one-off training with your team, in a long-term individual coaching and guidance process, in the run-up to an event. Physical and/or virtual. Welcome at TalkLIkeTED!
My first presentations were a disaster. I’m still ashamed when I see them again on YouTube. I started working hard on this during the organization of 50 TEDx events worldwide. By coaching 200+ TED speakers, but also analyzing countless scientific studies.
TalkLikeTED emerged from this. In recent years I have had the opportunity to train and coach more than 3500 professionals worldwide. By standing on the sidelines as a presentation coach and providing you as a coachee with the right tips, tools and insights at the right time.
Whether you are a CEO or student, politician or entrepreneur, established speaker or novice. I believe that everyone has a great story to tell. That everyone can share that on a stage with the right preparation.
Dozens of tricks together form the ‘secret sauce’ that makes the TED format so incredibly popular to convey a story well. Tricks that I would like to share with you with great enthusiasm.
