About Jan

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 3200 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.

"Jan's drive was contagious, which led to a lot of interaction with the group present. With his TED experience he provided the group with striking examples. In addition to sharing good and practical tips, Jan is also very entertaining to listen to as an example speaker!"
Joost

"Jan did a great job in preparing, designing and delivering a masterclass 'Talk like TED'. Jan was very open and willing to think along how we could best serve our group of almost 900 Talents around the world in their need to become more inspirational and impactful leaders through storytelling and public speaking. He took into account the needs of the audience by finetuning his masterclass to their development needs. The masterclass was packed with great examples, videos, stories, and a lot of tips and tricks. Finally, he shared several tools that our participants could use to prepare for their own public speaking or storytelling challenges. Thank you Jan!"

Jan is one of the better speakers who can actually teach the audience something with a very interesting vision. Jan was and remains always welcome and we would love to see them visit again."
