Speaker Education & Learning

James delivered a compelling presentation about habit change and personal productivity that will influence how our students stretch themselves to pursue new opportunities. His work is clear and actionable in a way that breaks down some of the most challenging barriers that we all have to overcome. I would highly recommend James to any organization seeking to accomplish great things!

I am thrilled we were able to bring James’ content (and his book!) to our people of ESPN.  The numbers we had today for this event have been the highest we’ve seen for a keynote speaker since we went 100% virtual! The amount of texts, emails and DM’s I got were unbelievable. The attendees absolutely loved the content!

"As a workshop host Ferry has a great ability to create a welcoming and inclusive environment making sure that all participants feel engaged. The online session was interactive, provided a lot of room for discussion and triggered the team to explore the possibilities and threats of AI within the realm of education. The ‘high tech-human touch’ approach was highly appraised by team and myself. Working with Ferry was inspirational, challenging and fun and I would recommend it to anyone."

Cécile is just amazing! It was my pleasure meeting her at Internet & Mobile World, on the Main Stage. She is a very knowledgeable person with wide range of expertise. She is an excellent speaker and she kept our audience engaged the entire time, so they'll be ready for tomorrow's changes. I highly recommend Cécile that she will meet your expectations if not exceed them, just as she did for our event, she is a truly international trend expert. Very good insights on some very timely issues as well as an engaging style that we all appreciated and enjoyed. All of our professionals were thoroughly impressed and motivated. She is one of the most genuine and kindest people I know, professional, great ideas, positive, willing to help! Thank you, Cécile, for generously sharing your knowledge and expertise, and for inspiring our audience through content, very good insights and for your passion for achieving results!

Cécile has an aptitude for future forward thinking and understanding clients that makes her stand out of the many providers for trend based services. She pays close attention to what you say during consultation sessions and tries to capture the essence of your requests in her work. In other words, she doesn't just create something that appears intriguing, but she also makes sure that it reflects the values required for a trend related project. A versatile individual with experience in translating future topics into concepts, accompanied by methodological skills and a pleasant personality. I recommend Cécile and would be happy to work with her in future again.

I had the chance to work with Cécile during a future of work workshop where she delivered the keynote. What struck me from the beginning was her ability to pierce through this complex topic that spans organizational psychology, technological disruption and changes in society and upcoming generations of workers, and connect the gist of these trends in an easy to follow and highly informative talk. Her ability to visualize and articulate the challenges and opportunities are outstanding and I highly recommend her as a speaker.

"Mr. van Hooijdonk delivered an engaging and forward-looking keynote that resonated strongly with participants from across Europe. His insights into innovation and transformation within the public sector provided valuable perspectives for the auditing community. A highly relevant and thought-provoking contribution to the IAS Conference”

"Farid impresses, with his mix of clients and his broad international orientation. He stands for quality and transparency and despite the serious content, he manages to present that on a smooth and witty way. He certainly can be seen as a shining and passionate driver in professionalisation of the sector trend watching."

“Farid marks the spot by the themes he presents. Although these themes are familiar to commercial people, he looks one step further giving you a pause for thought. You are being a kind of drawn into the future in a rapid, humoristic way with a furore, that makes it ´fun´ to experience.”
