Simone de Haas is an exceptional and inspiring speaker who, in a very short fifteen minutes of our corporate 'TedTalks' style event was able to invigorate and excite the audience. Simone's job was to move the audience and to enable them to ask some very deep questions. As the organiser of the event, what I saw was a speaker who delivered well beyond brief and an audience captivated from beginning to end. Thank you Simone!

NATALY K. - MetLife

"I engaged Simone as my coach for public speaking, in particular for my TEDx Talk. From the beginning Simone took the time to really listen and understand my concept with what I wanted to achieve. With her exceptional knowledge on presenting, stage presence and content, together we delivered an incredibly moving TEDx Talk. I thoroughly recommend Simone to anyone who wants to take their public speaking to the next level, where she will support you to not only impact, but will also influence many. She is one in a million!"
