Speaker Governance & Management

“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!"

Eric O’Neill’s presentation on “An Insider's Look into the Robert Hanssen Investigation: How the FBI Caught the Worst Spy in American History” is a breathtaking insight into one of the worst spies in United States history. Eric presented on never before heard facts that wowed the audience and left everyone wanting more. His professional approach and mild-mannered attitude were spot on for an engaging delivery. Everyone was so focused on Eric for the full hour that you could have heard a pin drop in a room of 1,000+ attendees. Eric is truly a once in a lifetime speaker that everyone should see and hear in person!

Eric was the perfect guest speaker for our event. With an audience of IT Security folks, he not only captivated the room with his thrilling espionage story, but also incorporated our latest cyber-security report and other cyber-security themes into his talk. Eric has a long list of interesting topics he can speak on, and we hope that we can bring him back to speak again in the future.

Tom’s great strength is his ability to make abstract concepts tangible while also providing his audience with actionable insights. Tom Middendorp was a valuable addition to our program."

Francesco managed to keep everyone engaged and captivated throughout the session, blending insight with energy in a way that sparked meaningful discussion and reflection. The preparation upfront also helped sharpen and adapt some of the messages based on the audience and our own challenges. I really appreciated how Francesco listen to our challenges and integrated then in a very natural way in his speech.

We greatly appreciate your guidance in orienting us towards Francesco. It made a real difference, and the feedback from the team has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic."

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.
