A brief summary of my public speaker career: Over the past five years, I have had the privilege of speaking at numerous conferences and events on topics related to leadership and personal development.

Combining traveling and speaking still feels like a dream. Here is one of my first presentations in the United States. Speaking to 400 people in not my native language felt like a huge victory. I didn't see the standing ovation at the end coming. So cool.
I am occasionally asked to present at primary schools. That always feels like a present. The questions children ask are so pure that I decided to film a question session.
My friends and I are here two days after the attack telling our story at RTL Late Night. Humberto Tan won the 2016 Sonja Barend Award for the best interview of the year. If only I knew then how much beautiful things would come my way after this conversation. It turned out to be the start of a more beautiful new life. This video is very dear to me.
Bespoke Pechakucha pitch about gratitude. The less time for the presentation, the greater the challenge. Yet I regularly give public Pechakucha lectures. The ideal stage to write new things and try them out in front of a live audience.
I started to apply the silent closing of my lecture more often. It's tremendously powerful.
At the table at talk show M to talk about how aid should be better organized in the Netherlands.
In 2019 I was interviewed in Hawaii by local television. The next day I was recognized several times on Honolulu beach. Surreal.
Interview because of my contribution to the book “After the Bataclan”, written by two fathers who both lost a child in the Bataclan attack.
This is what they say about Ferry.
It just magnificent how you have shaped your life after that horrible experience. You have literally turned it into a life experience where you try to help others in their lives. That is a power that is unprecedented! You have become an inspiration and thus the opposite of the poison that the terrorists have wanted to spread in our society. I feel deeply honored that I was able to interview you so shortly after the incident in Paris, despite the sad background, it is a pleasure to see your growth and further development from the sidelines.

I am very impressed with Ferry's story. Especially how open and honest he is at that very difficult moment in his life and the lessons he learns from this. I think we can all apply it to our lives. When it comes to tolerance, dealing with heavy things and maintaining love for life and for others. Respect Ferry!

Ferry for me, is a wonderful example of someone who has become stronger and more resilient through a crisis. Fortunately, he has managed to convert his terrible experience at the Bataclan into growth for himself and through his Keynotes he also encourages others to look for growth within themselves.
Ferry is not a superstitious person, but Friday, the 13th of November 2015, is a very dark day for him. A day that, in the end, brought more light than ever into his life. Ferry was there, at the 2015 attack on the Bataclan theater in Paris, where 89 people were killed. He eventually learned how to take back control, connect, and is now more resilient than he ever dared to dream.
Be inspired by a story about connecting, resilience and gratitude.
