Sido Vrieswijk: This workshop takes 3 hours but it feels like 1. A very interactive session with a fun, personal and energetic teacher. Great workshop if you want to improve your speaking for bigger audiences.

Audrey Bingaman: I had the privilege to have a training with Joni as part of a speech preparation for Happy Caravan Foundation! Joni was a wonderful mentor and she was so warm, but direct with her advice! She helped me to clarify my thoughts and connect with my words to better connect with the audience! I have nothing but good things to say of Joni! x

Jeroen Brokaar: Great experience, inspirational training!

Dunya Kirkali: Great trainers!

Nabil Ben Cherif: Fantastic! Super nice host and Eva is very professional and also sets the bar very high for herself! Despite her professionalism, she remains very open and accessible, which made everyone feel at ease!

Desmond de Bruin: Nice trainer and I found it very helpful to get out of your comfort zone. It really depends on what you can get out of this. Too short to really see with the trainer in which area you can improve, because you do not do a baseline measurement.

Lea A: I’ve joined the trainings of Stage Heroes a few years ago and still today I’m using the great tips learnt during the class. Maja has an incredible energy, passion for what she does and a lot of experience. I would definitely recommend anyone to attend her trainings if you want to develop your presenting skills, even if it’s only presenting in a meeting.

Esther Pustjens: Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality, ValueI came across Stage Heroes in its early stages and up until today the skills I have learned during that program I still use at an almost daily base. Margreet is extremely good at singling out the points of improvement during the training and provides you with valuable tips and tricks.

Luna Laysiepen: Signed up for and had an amazing course on online presenting with my team. It has been incredibly interesting to learn about the ins & outs of online presenting (yes, this is totally different from on-stage presenting!). Margreet really makes the course as applicable as possible to your needs, making it very interactive and also a lot of fun! Would totally recommend!

Giuliana Heger: I did the course last year and loved how Maja changed my view of giving presentations from something uncomfortable and frightening to something that can actually be a lot of fun. I am still using many of her tips. Definitely recommend the course!

Brian Vermeer: Last year I connected with Margreet to level up my speaking skills as a technical speaker at software developer conferences. In a couple of 1 on 1 sessions, she helped me analyse and improve my appearance on stage. She showed how a couple of minor changes improve the impact of my message on the audience. I honestly loved her direct and analytical way of providing me feedback while speaking in front of her. Her super kind and structural approach tremendously helped me on stage but also virtually. Margreet is a genuinely skilled professional and, more importantly, a lovely person to work with. I would recommend her to anyone.

Jacky Hoitsema: Positive: ProfessionalismMargreet gave me so much confidence in public speaking. I really enjoyed the training. She is a wonderful, bright and kind person who makes you feel at ease straight away. Thank you Margreet for the inspiring hours we spent together working on my 'pitch'! Enough storytelling to go I would say.

Estelle Roux-Stevens: I joined the 1st ever Stage Heroes course for this year and loved it!!! Even though it was a very unusual year... and we had go from on real stage to virtual stage, the course, the content and delivery was super. I took so much from it, and not only do I feel a lot more confident in myself as a speaker, I love the idea of being on stage, as oppose to freaking out about it.

Daniel Zeevaarder: After following the stage heroes course i felt so more confident in taking the step to present on the (digital) stage. It was a big step for me, but with the tools Margreet gave me i feel secure about what is still to come. Thank you so much Margreet!

Steven M: Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality, ValueFun, surprising, insightful and very helpful training which will take your presenting skills to the next level!

Emilija Mills: Highly recommended, worth every cent you pay for this course. The teachers are super friendly, experienced in teaching and approachable for asking if something is not clear to you. I signed up with 0 Dutch language knowledge, the teachers know how to make you comfortable to speak and learn - even you don't know anything, so you don't feel uncomfortable to make a mistake and learn. Also, the classes are going fast and with fun, during the learning you also have fun with students from all over the world. The school provides books that are also super helpful and easy to understand, learn and exercise from them, including the online exercises they are providing to build up your grammar and vocab. As for not easy language to learn, the school knows how to approach to learning Dutch to make it simpler and easier !

Kinga K-wicz: Dutch Courses Amsterdam is a great school to start your Dutch journey as well as to master your Dutch skills. I have already taken 5 intensive courses (A1-B2) and I am very satisfied with all of them. The teachers are experienced, passionate professionals who share their knowledge in a very accessible way. I truly recommend this school for anyone who values high quality teaching in an enjoyable and welcoming atmosphere.

Francesca Scotti: great place to learn Dutch! It is very focused on making you learn properly rather than following the sequence of a book's topics. Teachers pay very much attention on the student's needs and shape the lesson ad hoc. Classes are small (max 6 students) the school has its own material which is very well structured and makes it easier to learn this language. Definitely recommended!

Andrew Smith: I completed two intensive courses and plan to do a third. The school is down to earth and really focused on teaching Dutch effectively. The teachers are passionate and very experienced. The classes are kept very small which means you stay very engaged and have a lot of opportunity to speak and participate.

Colleen: Highly recommend loved the beginner intensive course. Their style of teaching was fun and effective. Grammar in the morning and conversation in the afternoon. Lovely Small Group. If you’re thinking of learning Dutch this is the spot to do it.

Soren MN: Was recommended this school by two of my coworkers who both agreed this was a really good place to start learning Dutch. I have to agree! I took the semi-intensive A0A1 course at the school and you do learn a lot in just one class. I especially like the grammar classes because you learn how to structure your sentences and Dutch starts to make a lot of sense. We had Bob for grammar, which is great because he’s very patient and you just feel comfortable speaking in Dutch in his classes. I missed a few classes in between, but the exercise book itself is very helpful and explains things clearly enough for you to get ahold of the basics. One thing I would say is that if you choose to do a semi-intensive course, it would be good if you already know how to at least pronounce things in Dutch because the classes are pretty fast. And if English is not your strongest suit, then it can get overwhelming so you might want to opt for the slower course instead. All in all, highly recommend (and there’s also a cute dog next door).

Sawan Mahindrakar: I completed the two week in person beginners Dutch course and had a wonderful experience. Roos, Kurt and Bob were all excellent instructors. I have been in the Netherlands for 5 years and had a lot of random Dutch words floating in my brain and this course helped me understand the basic structure of Dutch grammar and day to day conversations. Every class on each day was split between a grammar session and conversation session. This format was very helpful, there was a lot of practice by speaking and helped me get over the initial hesitation to speak in Dutch. Highly recommend DCA and their wonderful team.

Jamie Marsh: I attended a 2 week intensive course here A2-B1. We covered a lot of material in-depth, the structure of the book and division of lessons into grammar and conversation worked really well. I have improved my knowledge and confidence massively with the help of Angelique & Lennert respectfully. Signed up to the next course already, would highly recommend.

Islam Gaziev: I've followed a b2+ conversational course online and then also took a couple of private lessons also online to prepare for my staatsexamen programma 2. I was helped a lot. I have learn a lot and am now more confident to speak Dutch. The instructors were very attentive and always willing to help. I passed all 4 parts of the exam and I am very happy with the time I spent attending the classes. Would definitely recommend this place.

Sue Schoormans: Positive, thought-provoking, engaging, motivating and more. In short, that’s how I would describe my experience of a two-day Intercultural Management course delivered by Peter Koijen of In2Motivation. Culture is all around us; there is no escaping it. Whether you are an expat, immigrant, you work across national borders or you work in your home country with colleagues from another country. Understanding national culture is thus crucial for effective work and personal relationships. There is always something new to learn in the cultural arena and Peter made sure of that. Through case studies, role plays, videos and team-working I learned a lot and came away highly motivated to learn even more. Thank you Peter for a terrific learning experience.

stefan rietdijk: Dear former Stefan, dear reader, Let me start that I have never started a review with a sentence like this, which makes me feel really nice, knowing that I have changed so much after the NLP Practioner training which I received from in2motivation. I have learned a tremendous amount about communication, communication both with myself and with others. Interesting right? Please continue reading my review to learn more, I know that you are curious to really understand what I learned. Let me start by expressing how I feel at the moment of writing this review. I am radiating, glowing and have, after the training the ability to express myself and open up to my friends and to the world. I feel different and I see the world different. Let me tell you what made me change and become the new Stefan. A little bit of background or context who I was before the training, I always thought of myself as a down to earth Dutch guy, who liked to understand things, logic, and acting from the brain were my main pillars, that guided me through life. I made many decisions based on logic and knowing that I am capable of doing it. I know that I can, so I do it. You can probably relate to this in somewhat way, maybe you even think that you are completely the same. I know that I am making you curious right now to learn more about my experiences, right? Keep on reading, I will explain it to you. Ligia, the master coach of in2motivation was the one who lead the week, and let me tell you, this week was intense, 7 days in a row, waking up early, driving from Rotterdam to Amsterdam, seeing things that sometimes felt uncomfortable or even weird but gradually, as the week progressed, I started to change, and really felt the change happening within me, all the way to how I feel at the moment. I feel so relaxed, I feel light as a feather! The combination of a great group, where I made friends, people who understand who you are, and Ligia, a coach who brings the best out of you really made this week very unique and special for me. I started the training with having many professional goals, and really thinking beforehand, how can I become a better professional. During the week I shifted my goals and started sharing about my personal life. When I started doing, and stopped trying, I started to feel like I feel right now. Amazing. Changing is learning, and that is really what happened, I learned and I changed, from acting out of ‘does this make sense’ and ‘is this logical’ to a whole new being. A being that is capable of loving life, loving myself, loving my friends & family and loving what I will learn more from now on. And let me tell you, I LOVE this feeling! Stop trying, start doing, open yourself, sign up and join the training every day and see it with your own eyes. I know that you have already started imagining it in front of you, how you would feel afterwards. Imagine it now, you are feeling super confident, happy, relaxed and emotional, all the at the same time. And suddenly you know your goals and see them clearly in front of you. And even more important, you suddenly know how to act upon it to realize them. Peter and Ligia, thank you to the moon and backwards, thank you for opening my eyes, and helping to accept myself who I am. And to you, the reader of my review, I am sorry, we are at the end of it. If you are curious to learn more, pick up the phone and call Ligia or send an email to in2motivation. They can tell you everything that you would like to know. Stop trying, start doing! Lots of love, Stefan

sarah crane: I participated in the Rhythm of Life masterclass with Peter recently and found it to be insightful and relevant for both my personal and professional life. The class contained practical tips that I am able to implement. Plus, it was great fun besides!
