'I really value the way she can put her extensive knowledge across and engage her audience.'
I had the pleasure to listen to-and work with- An Gaiser on numerous events and projects. The great thing about An is that she is an inspiring thought leader but at the same time humble about her expertise. She is very approachable and down to earth. I really value the way she can put her extensive knowledge across and engage her audience. Some experts repeat the trick they are good at over and over again, but An really puts in the effort to apply her knowledge to the question, audience, subject or task at hand. She provided valuable insights and enriched the knowledge of me and my team every time our paths crossed!

“Without a doubt, the lecture of Kris Verburgh was one of the best we have ever seen at our Rotary meetings. A lecture of such a brilliant speaker is perhaps a one in 20-year event and I think this was also the prevailing impression of the public.”

"There are speakers who reach the ears of their audience and there are speakers who reach ears and heart. Kris Verburgh is one of the latter and enchanted everybody at PINC."
