"Luud was highly recommended to me by a couple of colleagues and just coming out of our session, I have to say he even overachieved the high expectations I had. With his passion, empathy, professionalism and great personality, he moderated our session in a really impressive way. So I hope we will find another opportunity to work together and highly recommend Luud not only from a professional, but also from a human perspective! This combination is unique and super important, especially when you work with people and want to end with really valuable outcomes."

The experience he has from previous jobs and which he accumulated over the last 25 years, doing what he does, makes him understand people working in different organizations, industries and structures.Luud is a trustworthy, knowledgeable person and it truly is a pleasure to attend his sessions and keynotes because you come out of them with something new that doesn’t last a few days but does last for a long time, and I can confirm this from my own experience."
