Speaker Arts Culture & Lifestyle

“In the close to four years I have been here Mike’s presentation was widely recognized as the best by far. He spoke for 75 minutes …no notes… no overheads…. No podium…right out front. His Q/A was outstanding… our managers appreciated that we brought in someone that good. He does not try to impress people with any gimmicks or trendy expressions. I will call on him again and trust him with our most valuable asset…our people.”

“Mike was so fabulous – not a dry eye in the audience. He made us look good, but more importantly, he inspired our leaders to be their best and get better – even if by just 1% a day. We will definitely want to work with him again in the future.”

“Last year we were honored to have Maarten Boudry as a keynote speaker at our annual QHSE (Quality, Health, Safety & Environment) event. The keynote was very well received. It was an informative and interactive lecture, succeeded by a lively Q&A session. The listeners were engaged and showed much interest in the topic. We received very positive feedback from the participants afterwards.”

“Our teaching team experienced Joske’s session very positively. It was inspiring, engaging, and gave us plenty to think about. The key message I took away was: listen to my team members without judgment and with genuine attention and don’t make assumptions, but empower them to use their own strengths.

Joske’s personal story was intense, brave, and powerful. It made me realize that I need to look at people’s behavior with more curiosity instead of viewing it through the lens of judgment.

I would recommend this team session to any group searching for better collaboration and team dynamics. It definitely helped us connect more deeply and start honest conversations with one another.”

"On March 27, 2025, we hosted a lecture and interactive session with the members of NVDM-North. Joske Kuut’s story “You had it coming” touched us all deeply. One important takeaway: always check the facts before judging someone, and don’t assume something is true if you don’t actually know. Wise lessons that help you become a better person. Our members found the lecture incredibly valuable!"
