In-company trainings

For companies I offer group seminars on public speaking. Learning and practicing new skills, in the setting of a supportive community.

The seminars are always interactive. This means that you will be speaking a lot, putting into practice what I show, receiving and giving feedback and doing lots of fun exercises.

Workshop set up, practicing in pairs with exercise cards


● Lots of opportunities to practice

● Opportunity to create supportiveness within your team at your next speaking moment

● Peer feedback and support

● It’s really FUN!

The benefits of a group seminar:

All trainings that I offer are customized. I always adjust my trainings to the group, the dynamic and the specific requests your team may have. I use a pre-seminar questionnaire, to make sure I can step in on the level and the needs of the group.

Besides the formats listed below, I can create any specific training that fits the need of your team.

Is there a speaking format you would like to practice?
A certain speaking skill you want to learn and practice, where the whole team would benefit from?

Let’s talk and see what we can create together!

Customized trainings

Training formats

1 - BODY LANGUAGE & VOICE


Full or half-day seminar

How do I communicate?

We can have world-changing, mind blowing ideas - but if we don’t know how to communicate them, they will only stay our world-changing and mind blowing ideas. In this seminar, we focus on how we communicate.

  • Learn different voice dynamics

  • Analyse the effect of voice dynamics

  • Create consciousness of unconscious body language

  • Analyse your and your peers’ body language

  • Speak, speak, speak!

2 - PITCH PERFECT


Full or half-day seminar

Pitching any topic is a skill on its own.

Considering you have a limited time to share you idea, you need to choose your words carefully, use your voice effectively and connect with your audience.

  • Clarify the problem you want to solve

  • What’s the story?

  • User experience

  • Who is your audience?

  • Connect with & convince your audience

  • How do you ‘grab’ your audience’s attention?

3 - CONFIDENT SPEAKER

Full or half-day seminar

Becoming a confident speaker, can be approached from inside and outside. In this seminar, we focus on both:

  • your internal beliefs connected to public speaking & the power this has on your audience.

  • what you radiate externally: what is the effect of your voice and body language?

  • The power of beliefs and mindset 

  • Theory and tools to calm & prepare yourself before speaking

  • Analyse confident speakers

  • Create your own confidence tool kit

4 - PRESENTING

Full or half-day seminar

Will you remember lists of facts, numbers and statistics? Or will you remember a story? How a presentation made you feel?

In this seminar you will experience the power of storytelling in presenting. How stories can connect and inspire. How they can make your presentations and speeches more powerful and relatable.

  • Learn a simple storytelling framework, that turns any experience into a powerful story

  • Practice storytelling in presentation settings

  • Learn how to ‘start with a bang’

  • Learn how your voice and body can uplift your story

  • How to adapt storytelling in corporate settings

  • Esther brings phenomenal energy to the table. I was genuinely surprised at how just one hour with her transformed my pitch. She helped me prepare for the Documentary Campus Industry Days and the difference was remarkable. Esther listened deeply, asked thought-provoking questions, and helped me uncover angles I hadn’t considered. The final pitch was something I was incredibly proud of. She also helped me refine the voice, tone, and pacing. Having worked with several speaking coaches over 20 years of public speaking, I can confidently say Esther is one of the best.

  • "What an engaging and fun way to overcome the fear of public speaking and showing up with confidence. Esther created a safe space for us to practice and grow. I can really recommend this as a team activity and I loved to see all the progress we made!"

    Lara Schweinebart, Team Lead People Services

  • "This workshop was amazing! You conducted this workshop with such passion and a beautiful vibe. Went home with a big smile & had loads of fun while learning new things!"

    Eka Neumann, Globalcontact consulting

  • "Great seminar to learn and practice interesting insights about breathing, positive thinking and confidence while speaking to different audiences."

    Madlin Farshbaf - Associate Director

  • " Esther created a warm and open atmosphere, which made it very easy to open up and get out of my comfort zone. The methods were new to me and opened up new perspectives."

    Theresa, People Services Manager

  • I like to work with groups of maximum 10 participants - the smaller the group, the better.

    Why? It gives you more opportunities to speak and become comfortable and confident in that speaking position. 

    In case you have a bigger group - let’s talk and see how we can make it work. In this case it is also possible to book 2 trainers.

  • The group seminars are mostly in-company.

    However, it is also possible to request an off-site seminar. In this case, the seminar will take place in an inspiring venue, including drinks and lunch.

  • When you request a training & specify the topics and hours, I can send you a proposal with all details and prices.

    It is possible to use your L&D or personal development budget.

  • I offer both half-day and full-day seminars.

    • Half-day: 3-4 hours (incl breaks)

    • Full-day: 7-8 hours (incl breaks)

    It is also possible to book a serie of seminars, spread over a longer period of time. In this case it is also possible to have reflection and feedback moments inbetween.

    Seminars can be booked between 8:00 am and 22:00 pm
