Who I’ve worked with …
Whether you’re experienced at public speaking and want to take things to the next level, or you struggle to even utter one word in front of a group of people, I can help you level up, both in English and in Dutch.
No matter how trivial the setting, public speaking is an art form, and there is no “one frame fits all“.
I guide individuals in curating a speaking style that plays to their own strengths as a speaker, one that feels authentic and aligns what works in general with what works for them.
What others have to say …
“Next level workshop. No filler, no bullsh*t…”
“Thomas is THE coach for perfecting your pitch. I’ve seen a lot of workshops, but this is next level: no ego, no filler, no bullsh*t. Just concrete tips, clear insights and a high-energy, authentic atmosphere.
The feedback sessions on our startup pitches were easily the highlight. Thomas has this surgical way of breaking down a presentation and giving you the exact ‘tricks of the trade’ to fix it on the spot. The session was so engaging that one participant even noted “This was the first time I haven’t regretted missing my 2-year-old’s bedtime.” That’s the kind of value we’re talking about.
Stop practicing in front of a mirror and get Thomas in the room instead. Highly recommended.”
“Confident students. Clear results. Tremendous value…”
“We’ve been working with Thomas on pitching workshops, coaching and our Shark Tank for a few years now. Students feel noticeably more confident after his sessions, and faculty members can clearly see the results in their pitches.
Thomas combines authenticity and humor with dynamism and practical tips that resonate well with the students.
He’s proactive, engaging and genuinely easy to work with. This partnership has definitely added tremendous value to our program…”
“The biggest confidence booster is Thomas showing confidence in you…”
“You’ve got to give a TEDx talk in 3 months and you’re panicking. Who do you call? Thomas.
His deep expertise is immediately apparent: he doesn’t fall into platitudes but instead provides laser-focused personal feedback that cuts right to the chase.
In just one high-energy, geeky and honestly fun session, he co-engineers your talk to you, not you to the talk. By the second session, he taught me how to up my emotional arc through different ‘chapters’: when to increase energy or when to ….slow …down.
And that nerve-wracking talk? The biggest confidence booster is Thomas showing confidence in you.”
“A safe, supportive space for workshop participants to share ideas and give each other feedback…”
“Thomas gave us an incredibly insightful pitching workshop. The techniques he provided for structuring a pitch, clarifying key messages, and engaging an audience were clear, practical, and easy to apply.
What made the session especially valuable was the safe, supportive space he created for participants to share ideas and give each other feedback. That open environment encouraged honest discussion and learning, and made it much easier to put the techniques into practice.
I walked away with a stronger understanding of how to pitch with confidence, purpose, and impact. A truly valuable and well-delivered session…”
“On top of being highly professional, Thomas is funny, approachable and genuinely inspiring…”
“I had the pleasure of attending Thomas’s “Pitching Fundamentals” workshop, and it was an extremely insightful and enjoyable experience. The session was engaging, clear and very well structured. Thomas created a supportive atmosphere where everyone felt comfortable practicing and improving.
What I appreciated most was how he explained that strong public speaking is not just talent, it is a skill you can learn and develop. His feedback was practical, encouraging and immediately useful. After my pitch about urban legends, he shared great tips that I will definitely apply in future presentations.
Thomas is also an excellent speaker himself. On top of being highly professional, he is funny, approachable and genuinely inspiring. I would absolutely recommend this masterclass to anyone looking to improve their pitching skills and gain more confidence speaking in front of others.”
“Working with Thomas has been a true enrichment for my journey as an entrepreneur…”
“I love Thomas’ no-nonsense approach. During the training, he gave me a clear framework and incredibly practical, hands-on tips I could apply immediately.
In just a few hours, I went from someone who was afraid to stand in front of an audience to actually doing it.
His guidance is direct, supportive and focused on real progress, not theory. Working with him has been a true enrichment for my journey as an entrepreneur.”

Why Software?
‣ I don’t do fluff. I approach communication and mindset problems logically and pragmatically, as engineering or coding problems.
Words – internal or external – are nothing more than code. To get the desired output, it’s just a matter of finding the right semantics and syntax, and that always starts with asking the right questions.
‣ I have experience in startup businesses, large corporations, business transformation, software project management and trained as a NLP Practitioner.
Why Human?
‣ My coaching style is very human-centered, and often draws on the metaphorical and the archetypal.
‣ I was interested in Buddhism and Taoism from a young age, and ended up studying East Asian studies, learning Mandarin and living in China.
I have also trained in and practiced various forms of meditation throughout my life: Vipassana, Transcendental Meditation and Kundalini yoga.
