Happy Clients
I got to know Iris as a driven and friendly person who likes to support others in special circumstances. She would like to use her knowledge and experience to discuss difficult topics. In that role, Iris provided a workshop for students and that was very much appreciated.
Iris has been hired by me for the last few years as a motivational speaker at my elections. The way she speaks is very gentle and that everyone can persuade everyone through her way and tone of speech.
Iris participated in a panel on gender-based violence and supporters for survivors. She is an engaging and inspiring speaker who speaks from the heart.
I got to know Iris as a speaker at the Mister international election. Iris shared her story for this group of men. Iris is a very good, soothing speaker, what she says is straight from the heart.

I can confidently recommend Iris as a speaker.

Coaching @ SUTA in South Korea
In 2017, I was asked to coach a group of 35 girls, during their experience in the Miss Supertalent of the World pageant. This pageant was held in Seoul, South Korea and lasted about a month. I was asked to coach them in their confidence and representation skills. We did interviews, photoshoots, fashion shows and more. But what I mainly did during this time is to teach them how to cope with the stressful and competitive situation they were in.
I did this by asking them not to only focus on winning the pageant, but by formulation and working on a personal goal. Something that could help them in their personal growth. Like becoming more confident, learning how to make new friends or learning how to deal with stress. During my time there I also coached them in achieving that personal goal.
