‘Marielle Bordewijk gave a keynote speech on the occasion of the WagrALIM 2009 event in Belgium. WagrALIM is the food industry competitive cluster in Wallonia, Belgium. In order to improve competitiveness in the region, the Walloon Governement set up centres of excellence which bring together businesses, training centres and public and private research organisations who are keen to get involved in collaborative high added value projects. WagrALIM, dedicated to the food industry, is one of these centres of excellence.
In order to launch its new platform dedicated to technology intelligence at international level, WagrALIM organized an event in December 2009. On this occasion, we invited Marielle Bordewijk since she is a renowned trendwatcher specialized in the food sector, in order to speak about the major trends in the food industry. She gave her speech in front of an audience made up of members of the WagrALIM cluster, companies from the food industry, representatives of the administration and representatives of other Belgian and foreign food clusters. Her speech was inspiring, professional and very interesting. The audience really liked it and we received very positive feedback about it.’

His ability to command the stage and deliver actionable tips to really help people become better leaders who are emotionally intelligent is second to none!
Bill is so incredibly insightful! His ability to command the stage and deliver actionable tips to really help people become better leaders who are emotionally intelligent is second to none in my experience. I attribute much of my personal success to what Bill taught me early in my career and leadership journey. From a meeting planner's perspective, Bill is a dream presenter - easy to work with, humble, and wants to be part of the team to deliver excellence. He took the responsibility to 'exceed expectations' as seriously as I did as the meeting host. Bill lives what he researches and teaches making personal/professional relationships so very enriching.
The session was a 10 out of 10!
Bill, I want to thank you for a very powerful session. I had so many people saying this was so helpful!!! The science you taught on questions vs statements was incredible. I never knew the brain science component to this and realized I could be better asking questions when giving feedback. Better said, I need to coach more through questions! The coaching exercise drove this home! The session was a 10 out of 10! You are incredibly talented, can hold the room with your presence and you are very skilled at getting people to engage and interact.
Excellent training!
