About Us

Why I do what I do

I created the Simply Talking method and coached thousands of people for their pitch, TEDTalk, conference, meeting or sales talk. I use my 19 years experience in presenting but also my 7 year experience as a news anchor. For every live television performance I did it struck me again and again how skyrocket high my heartbeat was. But I have learned how to deal with these nerves and love to share these insights with you so that you show confidence on and off stage.

Emilie Somers is my French ‘clone’ and an incredible lady to work with. She has a great talent for entertainment and created her own show for big audiences ‘Workshow’ on bringing joy back in the workplace.

I don’t believe in coincidence and it was a true blessing to meet Erik Eklund, our international speaker. He is Swedish, a globetrotter, and will travel around the world to coach your teams internationally.

Deborah is my Dutch ‘buddy’. When I met her she already was a presentation coach and was trained in The Netherlands. It was interesting to combine our ideas especially as her focus is very much on connecting with an audience. Great to work with kindred spirits!

testimonials

Sylvie and I worked together on two key moments in the past years; when I launched my book and when I prepared my TEDTalk. Sylvie has a wonderful gift, she makes it seem easy. After a coaching session with her, I was always light years further than before. Thanks to her highly efficient method and her mindful presence and focus on the person and their story.

Woensdag 10 mei, 18u30. De werkdag is al 12u aan de gang en er staat nog een 'to do' op mijn agenda. Even speelt het idee om naar huis te gaan maar de plicht haalt de bovenhand. Ik ga naar de vergaderzaal. En dan...gedurende 2u word ik meegenomen in een prachtig verhaal rond presenteren. Nieuwe inzichten worden aangereikt in een aangename stijl. Vol inspiratie en energie ga ik terug naar huis. Dank je voor de boeiende inspiratie.
HANS CROMBRUGGHE
As a recruiter I instinctively look for motivation and energy when meeting new people. Sometimes there is no need to actually look for it, sometimes you feel enthusiasm just in shaking hands. Sylvie is one of these people, she energizes her coachees and delivers on her promises during every step of our collaboration. No matter what your background or level in presentation is, I am convinced that Sylvie can add value and give you just the tips you need in a very personal way.

Our coaching company in numbers

It all started in 2000. I wanted to become a trainer but had no idea in which topic. Very soon I was attracted by presentation skills. I specialized in this domain as I saw there was a need. My book was published in 2009 and now working with team members I can truly say my job is not just a job anymore but a true passion with just one goal: help you prepare and experience your best presentation ever! And don’t let the word ‘presentation’ mislead you. I am not just referring to big audiences… This can be a simple update you need to give during a team meeting as well!

our coaching team

Most people hate the idea of speaking in front of an audience. You know what we have in common? We love it! That does not mean though that we are not nervous for whatever communication we need to do. This is why we do what we do…we love to share our experience and help you communicate with impact and confidence no matter how big or small your audience is.
