Recognizable?

You've been in your field for quite a while and regularly speak in front of groups. Your presentation is okay, but it feels like you could get more out of it.

You have great ideas  but lack 

the tools to express them confidently, which makes you not enjoy public speaking.

Ineffective communication leads to frustration in your team. You'd love to foster a culture of trust and cooperation .

You have a leadership role, but lack the skills to get people onboard with your vision .

Hi, I'm Marije

Trainer, communication expert & founder of The Public Speaker.

10+ Years of experience in corporate training, I've developed an approach that goes beyond just the outward appearance and improves their communication while staying their natural selves.  

 

As a news editor at NOS Jeugdjournaal, I experienced how powerful simple and clear language can be. 

Training at Great Communicators showed me the value of an allround approach that also includes the inner mindset, like dealing with nerves or high expectations.

At Upskilling Institute Lepaya I was responsible for the Storytelling training department, creating relevant communication training content for fast growing companies.

Double impact

A broad focus on content, mental aspects of speaking, non-verbal communication and neuroscientific principles make you a more effective and impactful speaker.

Results

Gain headspace

Every presentation will be easier from now on, because you have concrete tools to make the preparation and presenting itself lighter and less straining.

Confidence & joy

By focusing on your individual needs and learning goals, we ensure that you present with ease. This not only leads to better communication but also brings enjoyment to speaking.

"Marije is a real master in her field and a highly engaged and enjoyable teacher who left a permanent mark on me.

As an experienced speaker,  I was excited to dive deeper and learn new things. She did not dissapoint. The way she can control the attention of a group, create a safe space and help them open up and go deeper is a rare skill.
