Words & Things

Sales and Customer Service Trainer & Coach | Storyteller & Multilingual Words Wizzard | Keynote Speaker & Lecturer | Linkedin | wordsandthings.be

Hospitality is my thing – language my ‘dada’.
Throughout my career in hospitality, I learned the hard way that communication determines the success (or failure) of commercial projects. I help commercial teams to communicate more efficiently with their clients.

As a trainer and coach. Copywriting and translating take me back to my first ‘love’, specialised in commercial communication for hospitality, events and tourism.

Corporate social responsibility is a must for me and I love projects that put people and the planet centre stage. I love dedicating time to two charities that are close to my heart. As a board member and vice president for Antwerp Diner (NPO), I organise the sales for the yearly fund raiser (2020 contribution of 112.000 Eur for 3 organisations that invest in the prevention and cure of aids and hiv). In November 2018, I spent two weeks with Tomorrow4Isibani (one of the 3 organisations) in Winterton, South Africa. A humbling experience which I am keen to repeat. One weekend a year, I devote time to the Belgian Annual Special Olympics Games. As a volunteer, I host the vips during the opening event, but more importantly, I show sponsors and vips why their support to this wonderful event is needed.

I enjoy my weekly session of functional training and I can lose myself in a good book.
