De afgelopen jaren heb ik drie boeken geschreven.
Wat is jouw verhaal
Iedereen heeft een mooi verhaal om te vertellen en iedereen kan dat ook op het podium. Iets waar ik heilig van overtuigd ben, na tien jaar duizenden professionals gecoacht te hebben. Van startende ondernemers tot studenten, executives tot topondernemers, DJ’s tot politici. Dat is heel veel meer dan het simpel aanleren van presentatie technieken voor op het podium. Dat begint met het samenstellen van een mooi, inspirerend verhaal en de juiste voorbereiding er van. Het afstemmen op het publiek, de eventuele visuele doorvertaling en het strategisch inzetten van het lichaam.
Veel wetenschap, ervaring en leren van klanten zorgen voor het stillen van mijn eigen nimmer aflatende honger. Om weer eens goed uit de filterbubbel te stappen, heb ik vorig jaar oud-klanten en mijn netwerk gevraagd om de grootste uitdaging die zij (nog steeds) hebben op het gebied van spreken in het openbaar. Ik ben ontzettend dankbaar voor de meer dan zeshonderd reacties die ik kreeg; soms slechts één woord, soms hele epistels van een aantal pagina’s. Dit gaf mij zoveel brainfarts, dat ik heb besloten om ze op papier te zetten.
De tweede druk is hier te koop.
ExciTED
For the past 10 years, I have had the pleasure of organizing 50 TEDx events worldwide. Besides establishing the TEDx events in Maastricht, Sittard-Geleen and Eindhoven, I also worked in major cities like Amsterdam, New York and Baghdad, organizing events for organizations like CERN, the Dutch Police Force, the Ministry of Defense and many more, as well as presentations at large-scale events with 1,500 visitors, youth events, town halls and many more. What it’s not is a manual, a required reading before organizing an event or a look-at-me-I’ve-organized-50-TEDx-events-proof. It’s simply an overview of the 50 experiences I would love to share after organizing 50 TEDx events worldwide.
The book has been ‘#1 Best selling book’ on Amazon! You can buy the book here.

[su_quote cite=”Ramy Nasser – Director Retail Innovation Lab – Mattel Inc.”]What started as a relatively small, primarily academic conference in 1984 has since grown into the world’s largest movements around the free exchange of ideas.
