Connection with a smile
How do you present yourself without pressure?
That you enjoy it and that the audience becomes enthusiastic by your vibe?
And that from now on presentations are moments to look forward to instead of avoiding them?
Leon van der Zanden has been a comedian, television presenter (including NTR, MTV, KPN and Omroep Brabant), actor (Sinterklaasjournaal) for over 20 years and has been giving workshops, lectures and presentation coaching for just as long. The core of his message is ‘fun’. As long as you can experience that, there is no pressure and you stay in the flow. And then there is room for real connection with your audience. Live and through a camera. And only then you really make impact.
In this interactive lecture you will gain insight into what really happens when you are in the spotlight. What happens inside you and what happens in the room? And how can you control that? But in this lecture you will also experience for yourself what it is like to speak from your pleasure within instead of what is expected from you. Is that exciting? Yes, fun and exciting, because it is about you and what you have to give the world. That’s why you’re here.
The theme can vary from ‘connection’ to ‘humor’ and from ‘performance’ to ‘fun’.
Leon is happy to explain it to you himself in this video
V&D
The V&D went bankrupt, thousands of employees were kicked to the curb. One of them asked me to do something for them to bring a little air and light into their lives. I performed for them, free of charge, and it turned into a session about “how to deal with your emotions” instead of it being a show. In the middle of my performance I asked a lady, who was still very angry, to express herself. As she did, she lit up the whole room. My story became the story of the audience. I only put the feelings that prevailed into words.
