4-day course

taking the stage

Only twice a year. Sign up in advance for the fall 2024 edition!

Take the stage, change the world.

When do you want to make a difference? Is it that presentation in front of the board? The sales pitch to your dream client? A presentation on corporate change? The story of your company? Your political dream? Whatever your speaking moments are, you want to be able to be the most powerful version of yourself. You want to be able to clearly say what's on your mind and activate and inspire your audience. In short, you want to be that speaker who keeps your audience on the edge of their seats. Are you ready to take your stage?

About the program

Spend four days surpassing yourself with your coach's support. On completing the training, you'll have covered so much ground that the stage will feel like home. A place where you can be yourself. You'll have found answers to your own learning questions. Going forward, you'll know how to seize the stage in a way that works for you. You'll know exactly which qualities to draw upon during important presentations. And the cherry on top will be the final presentation of your story... to an audience.

"If you just communicate, you can get by. But if you communicate skillfully, you can work miracles."
- Jim Rohn

Intake

Talk through your wants and ambitions with the coach who'll lead your course. At this stage, we'll already ask you to start thinking about the subject of, and audience for your final presentation. You'll also be given homework assignment for day 1.

Day 1: Become your best self

Discover how to bring your vision to life with a vivid image of the future, how to create suspense in your story, and how to inspire by drawing on your unique experiences.

Day 2: Inspire your audience to take action

Learn to give your story focus, and how to engage your audience, even when they're critical.

Feedforward and homework assignment

Receive a feedforward with the most important learning points from the first two days, and suggestions on how to put what you've learned into practice. Get additional stimulation from a homework assignment for the next two days.

Day 4: Take the stage

Day Zero! Tonight, you take the stage. There's still time to fine-tune your story, dot the i's and cross the t's in a one-on-one coaching session with your coach. Invite your guests to join you at dinner beforehand, if you like. And after your final presentation, there'll be drinks to celebrate your impact.

Is it a good idea to book a hotel between the training days?   

We leave this choice entirely up to you. We are located next to the Bullewijk metro stop and can be reached by metro from Amsterdam Central Station in a quarter of an hour. This means that you can also choose to book a hotel in central Amsterdam.

What are the advantages of group training versus individual coaching?   

You will learn with and be challenged by a close-knit group of different fellow participants.

This was a great training, very interactive, with lots of stage time. Exceptionally positive approach to the participants' strengths. Plus, it was made very concrete and adapted to the individual.
