With a background in law (University of Amsterdam), musical theater, and media training, Laurien seamlessly moves between content and presentation, between the strategic boardroom and the creative backstage.
Her experience as a singer in musical theater teaches precisely how to use your voice powerfully and own the stage with your presence. Because what you don’t say often tells just as much: non-verbal communication is just as important as words.
In her keynote ‘Make an impact with what you say and how you say it,’ Laurien provides professionals with practical tools to present convincingly and authentically. Whether on stage, in the media, or within the organization.
