ICS Creditcard
“Rocky worked on team-building with several different teams at ICS Creditcard. During a session with my team, she succeeded in making a huge breakthrough. In all my years as a team manager I have never seen my team like this – everyone was brimming with positive energy and having a great time working together – and we still benefit from that in the workplace today. Thank you Rocky!”
VISA

Thank you for all the inspiration and knowledge.”

Bernardius College
“We’re delighted with Rocky’s presentation. A room filled with 150 boisterous high school kids was no issue for her as she got them to be quiet and pay attention to what she had to say. She dazzled them with her personal anecdotes and laid-back approach. She is a role model for us as well as for those kids.”
Gemeente Den Haag

It was a wonderfully inspiring lecture filled with energy. Highly recommended!”

“For our staff outing we asked Rocky to inspire our team. She did not disappoint! With her remarkable story, interaction, humour, assertiveness and approachability she coaxed us out of our comfort zones and challenged us to look at things through a different lens. We naturally topped it off by playing some football together. All our colleagues were super enthusiastic and felt fully energized afterwards.”

“During our festival on International Women’s Day in Enschede Rocky inspired us with her enthusiasm and self-confidence – it was an electrifying experience! Everyone in the room became invigorated by her presence and presentation, and everyone went home feeling content and energized.

Een lezing, waarbij Rocky vanuit haar eigen verhaal verbinding maakt met haar publiek en hen liet nadenken over hun eigen verwachtingen naar zichzelf en naar de leerling. Het was een heel inspirerende lezing vol energie!
Echt een aanrader.
