BRAINBOOST
You’ve carefully prepared your presentation, only to be interrupted after the very first slide. Or perhaps you were counting on twenty minutes to speak, but after a few agenda items run over, you’re suddenly left with barely five.
Maybe you’re presenting to a handful of colleagues in an online meeting. Or perhaps you’re standing in front of a packed room.
So how do you keep stress from taking over and make sure your message comes across clearly - and sticks - in every situation?
During this BrainBoost, you’ll learn how to present with impact, whether you’re speaking to a large audience or a small group, online or in person.
You’ll discover how to get to the point quickly, structure your story clearly and keep your audience engaged - even when you have far less time than expected.
And we’ll look beyond the content itself. You’ll get practical tips to project calm and confidence, even when you’re feeling nervous on the inside or facing a critical audience.
Want to get to the point faster, present with more confidence and make a bigger impact - whatever the audience, the format or the time you have? Then this BrainBoost is for you. Sign up now!
⚠️ Please note: this BrainBoost will be held in Dutch.

This BrainBoost is led by Sylvie Verleye, an experienced storytelling coach who has been helping professionals communicate their message with greater impact since 2000.
She deliberately no longer calls herself a presentation coach: in her view, every strong piece of communication starts with a good story. Sylvie has presented to large audiences countless times, published the presentation book Stilte, ik spreek in 2010, and spent years as a news anchor at VT4 and TV Oost, where she learned first-hand how to handle time pressure, stress and the unexpected.
Don’t expect a traditional lecture. Instead, get ready for an energetic and interactive session packed with relatable examples and practical techniques you can apply straight away - and a fresh perspective on your business presentations.
