my work
my portfolio is pretty diverse, and i am always working on different things at the same time. usually, this is a mix of larger assignments, where i collaborate with organisations to create positive change and meaningful innovations, combined with smaller assignments such as inspiring and energising organisations and teams with a keynote, a workshop, or a training. explore the overview of my services.
i love to share my passion for rebels, change, empowerment, and innovation on stage. it is always great to inspire people to see, think, and act differently.
during my keynotes, i include interactive moments for reflection and dialogue so that people learn more. it is also a great way to create new connections and have lots of fun.
Thanks Simone, for your kind and smooth collaboration, and for your inspiring and terrific performance. Everybody I talked to afterwards was delighted!
