Speaker Science

"Carlo's story at the ONE Conference was a strong reminder that real leadership is shaped by experience. He shared his scars not to impress, but to teach. My key takeaway: when distortion and pressure overshadow people, our soft skills and stories forge trust and empathy, the very things that unite teams and drive meaningful action."

"Carlo’s session at the ONE Conference was one of the most inspiring talks I’ve attended. In a field defined by complexity and competing perspectives, he brings clarity and connection that help leaders build trust and lasting impact."

"Carlo’s keynote for our Aurora Executive Day with 570 leaders was a highlight. With technical depth and instinct for people, he showed how trust, influence and storytelling turn complexity into action, sparking energy and practical change."

You were the perfect late afternoon speaker, you really kept everyone’s attention with your great stories and analogies. Your passion for what you do is refreshing. Thank you for making the conference a truly inspiring event.

Bill is so incredibly insightful! His ability to command the stage and deliver actionable tips to really help people become better leaders who are emotionally intelligent is second to none in my experience. I attribute much of my personal success to what Bill taught me early in my career and leadership journey. From a meeting planner's perspective, Bill is a dream presenter - easy to work with, humble, and wants to be part of the team to deliver excellence. He took the responsibility to 'exceed expectations' as seriously as I did as the meeting host. Bill lives what he researches and teaches making personal/professional relationships so very enriching. 

Bill, I want to thank you for a very powerful session. I had so many people saying this was so helpful!!! The science you taught on questions vs statements was incredible. I never knew the brain science component to this and realized I could be better asking questions when giving feedback. Better said, I need to coach more through questions! The coaching exercise drove this home! The session was a 10 out of 10! You are incredibly talented, can hold the room with your presence and you are very skilled at getting people to engage and interact.

"It was nice to work with Raymond. He acts quickly and thinks along with you. As a result, in addition to his own story, he also managed to make a series of points that were interesting for our society."

"Raymond's presentation was captivating from minute one. He has a very pleasant and open way of speaking. Particularly valuable about his presentations is that current events are of paramount importance and he supplements this with a wealth of knowledge of American politics and American life."

"Raymond has a very interesting and engaging view of American politics. His story is full of fun and informative anecdotes that continue to fascinate. He does an excellent job of describing what the public can learn from a much-discussed politician like Trump."

"I would like to thank you once again for your contribution to what we believe was a successful Prinsjesdag breakfast yesterday morning. The evaluations received a good score: the meeting is valued at an 8. We can all be very proud of that."

"We experienced Arend Jan Boekestijn as a moderator with an astute, humorous and amiable personality. He was particularly involved in the preparations for our conference and showed maximum interest in the subject. Thanks to his guidance before and during the conference as moderator, we have had a very successful congress that was appreciated by our critical target group (of more than four hundred people) with an eight. We would like to invite him again for the next occasion."
