Leading training agency

Speak to Inspire was founded in 2012 and has grown into one of the leading presentation training & coaching agencies in the Netherlands.

We believe in the added value of trainers who already have a life behind them, with backgrounds in theater, media, as day chairmen, speechwriters and entrepreneurs. People who can convey the right knowledge, awareness and methodologies through their work and life experience. And we believe in trainers who continue to learn: from each other, from speakers, training courses and by frequently taking the stage themselves.

We work for a variety of organizations, at home and abroad: from Rabobank to Guerrilla Games, from Deloitte to Airbnb, from AHOLD & Heineken to municipalities and political parties. We help teams, professional speakers and leaders use their stories to get people thinking and moving.

Our philosophy

To inspire is to set in motion. By inspiring, urging, giving a different perspective or energy. In doing so, it is a seed for change.

Learning to present is about getting in motion. By increasing self-awareness, stepping out of fixed patterns and experimenting. It is a source of personal development.

Speak to Inspire helps people develop as inspiring speakers.

We let them get in motion, so they can set others in motion. Like a light bulb that turns on and spreads its light.
