"It is with great pride and honor that I acknowledge the expertise of Angélique Koopmans as a presenter.
I was recently in Amsterdam and the group of training professionals that I worked with needed some expertise on how to 'look' the part of a Professional Trainer. The local franchisee knew of Ms. Koopmans and invited her to speak with our group. She was nothing less than spectacular! Her relaxed demeanor and poise in front of our group made it easy to connect with her and the subject matter.
Even more importantly, she responded to challenging questions that not only answered the inquiries but she did so by responding to the entire group. This professional act alone set her apart from many of the trainers that I have been associated with for the past 25 years.
Another fact regarding Angelique was her professional attire that commanded respect. Many people 'talk' about looking the part, Angéelique does in fact, look the part of a polished, smooth, and successful professional speaker.
Any organization that wishes to impress their associates with a powerful message would be well advised to hire Angéelique Koopmans as their speaker."

“The infamous American actress Mae West once said: “An ounce of performance is worth pounds of promises.” Finally, a book that goes beyond “promises” but gives greater clarity about the essential contributing factors of high performance organizations. This pioneering work of Dr. de Waal is a must read for people interested in this subject.”

"The HPO methodology provided a perfect means of benchmarking where we were, telling us what good looked like, the things that we really needed to focus on, a target to aim for and the means to measure our progress – excellent."

“The HPO Framework of André de Waal, described in this well-written book, is based on solid scientific and practical research and its working has been tested at actual organizations. This makes De Waal's framework the first one to actually help managers improve in a sustainable manner.”
