Private business storytelling training for professionals who want to communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact.
Do you have great ideas but struggle to make them land in English? This masterclass will help you find your story, own your voice, and deliver it with energy and conviction. Working 1:1 with a professional storytelling specialist, you'll develop the skills to captivate any room — in English.
The English Center is CEDEO-recognized for training quality and client satisfaction. Since 2009, we've helped thousands of professionals across the Netherlands communicate with confidence and credibility in English.
Start with a free intake. You'll speak directly with a trainer — not a salesperson — and we'll define exactly what you want to achieve.
This isn't a grammar course. Or even an English course per se. It's not about fixing errors — it's about finding what you really want to say and saying it powerfully.
Your trainer is a professional storyteller and communications specialist with over 15 years of experience working with leaders in healthcare, non-profit, academic, and corporate sectors. With an instinct for story, he'll help you cut through the noise and connect with your audience.
Of course, if grammar or advanced style needs attention, that's addressed too — but the focus is always on quality of delivery and storytelling skill.
Your trainer has previously worked with leaders at Philips, ABN Amro, ING, Airbnb, Triodos, Unilabs, Irdeto, Géant, Commonland, Rotterdam School of Management, IBFD, HeadFWD, and Campy.

"As a coach, [our trainer] is brilliant at tuning in with the person in front of him and reminding them what is truly important, for the concrete task at hand and in life generally. What I most appreciated about the coaching was learning the techniques to step into my power and perform with confidence in any work related situation."
— Dr. Tanja Ahlin, Author of Calling Family, Health & Technology Anthropologist
