This is my book
In which I tell you everything I know
about a sustainable lifestyle. (The fully revised
and updated edition is out now!)
Today is a great day
for a great day
Dear audience
As a keynote speaker, I often and passionately share my tips and solutions about sustainable fashion & lifestyle, modern living, how we’re being shamed into buying, positive choices and a better world behind our stuff with a wide range of audiences. I’ve spoken at events of for instance Eurostar (in a moving train!), Ace & Tate, the Dutch Embassy in Brussels, Rio Ethical Fashion, Mississippi State University, and at TEDx. I’d love to make you (and your crowd) experts too.

ONCE WE NEED LESS
WE WILL HAVE MORE
I’m a versatile presenter and moderator
And it’s one of my most favourite things ever. I regularly host off- and online events, meetings and press conferences. They range in subject from ethical (and tasty!) chocolate, better laws and fair fashion to news about films and series, sustainable communication and responsible banking. I work for companies and organisations such as Netflix, Movies that Matter, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Stichting DOEN, Social Impact Day and NRC Live. Maybe I’ll present your future event as well?
INTRODUCING #SustainabilityAgainstShame
The movement that stops shaming for profit and saves the world
Many advertisements and articles use a form of shame to sell us products. This not only makes us feel bad about ourselves, it also makes it nearly impossible to behave sustainably: in order to be okay, we need to keep buying. Now we’re unhappy, the planet’s unhappy, only for financial gain of the happy few. Enough is enough!

I know quite a bit
about sustainable fashion, ethical fashion, conscious lifestyle, real communication, modern business strategies, corporate social responsibility and the new economy. How do you set up a future-proof brand, how to be a social entrepreneur, how to communicate spot-on and strong? As consultant and expert, I’ve got your back. Do you have, or are you starting, a (online) store, brand or something completely new?
