The best running story of the evening came from Rik Rottier. Witty hits in a tightly controlled setting, easy in how he deals with the audience, solid in his account of nightmares and his endangered Lowlands weekend. A hobbyist on a professional level? He could be, provided he scraps the preachy morality.

It was nice to work with Rik: He was very enthusiastic, helped me very well to create the right storyline and to add a good opening, middle and end to my story. The collaboration not only provided me with a good story, but also a lot of personal development.

Dear Rik, many thanks for your help with my inaugural lecture. I enjoyed it, also all the reactions to the beautiful story that it eventually became. Thanks to you!

Starting with a group of uncomfortable strangers and then finishing within 48 hours with a team in which each individual stands for his own story! I like that! Learned a lot, humor, a varied program, never a dull moment: super valuable experience that I can immediately apply in practice! Thank you Rick.

Rik quickly switches between different settings; from strategic presentations about the redesign of an organization to a discussion in the boardroom. Above all, working with him is very pleasant and relaxed.

Rik was a guest lecturer at the VU Controller Training for the course Strategy Realization via the strategic dialogue. Rik has convincingly explained how important it is to communicate from the perception of the receiver.

Rik is a man of many talents: lawyer, comedian, and energetic therapist. He is an engaging speaker, draws the audience with ease and dares to show himself in all his beauty and ugliness. Most of all, he is funny: he understands what humor does for a speech, a speaker, and the audience.

Rik approaches giving a keynote as top sport. He has made me realize even more that presenting is a craft in which you can become better and better and where small changes make big differences. So if you want to win the race on stage, get to work with Rik!

Shine On You Crazy Diamond

I train and coach scale-up fighters, corporate leaders, politicians, entrepreneurs, lawyers, business developers, Olympic champions, professors, investors, healthcare directors, and high-potentials who have the courage to stand up for their message in a very literal way. Because talented storytellers do not always speak up.

As a lawyer, I know the power of words; as a business scientist, the challenges of the corporate world; as a comedian, the ruthlessness of the stage. It is my mission to transform everyone from ‘presenters’ into 'Messengers'.

Soldier on

Imagine a world without stages. A world without concerts, cabaret, dance, and the Olympic games... It would be a dark world indeed. You know what that world is like. My question to you is this: what are you doing to make this world more colorful? Do you comment from the side lines? Or do you step into the spotlight yourself? It could be on a big stage, a 1-on-1 conversation, or anything in between.

The stage is an honest, unfiltered place. Success and pain are immediately palpable. It is a powerful, liberating feeling when you succeed in projecting your inner world onto the outer world. To compose your symphony and touch others. As if you were an artist in the world of business. I enable you to become an ambassador for your own spirit and to share your message. This doesn’t just mean a struggle: it also requires surrender.... .

HIDDEN BENEATH YOUR FEET IS A LUMINOUS STAGE WHERE YOU ARE MEANT TO REHEARSE YOUR ETERNAL DANCE
- Hafez

To the stage
Rik is active and enterprising. He coaches people who are on stage, but I also want to challenge him to be on stage more often. Because Rik is a real entertainer, very easy to get in touch with. Rik knows how to win everyone over. If you're having a bad day, you should call him. He knows how to turn the mind around with a joke or by looking at things from a different angle. He is always very positive without being over the top or fake. That's a real talent.

FRACTIELEIDER VOLT - HET FINANCIEELE DAGBLAD (FD) RUBRIEK ONDER ONS
Rik really helped me to tell a better story. A clear structure, connection with the audience and sharp defined goals helped me to become more convincing and successful on my mission. Next to that, the training had a positive contribution to group dynamics and increased trust between participants. And we had fun ;-)
GUUS BEEKMANS
CHIEF DIGITAL OFFICER GROUP M & GREENHOUSE
Rik has managed to keep me focused and fascinated for several sessions for three hours and he can consider that as a compliment. He supported me in further developing and clarifying my strategy story. Moreover, Rik always thinks one step ahead to streamline the entire process before and after the story.
ROB VAN DEN NOORT
CEO PRENATAL MOTHER AND CHILD B.V.
Very valuable to work with Rik. Amazing how quickly he is substantively up to date and understood my role as project leader in the judiciary. Rik had sincere attention to my story. I received honest and accurate feedback. His advice is practical, but he also gives food for thought. His sessions are an energy boost with no expiration date! “He'll take your brains to another dimension. Pay close attention.”
CHARITO DAVILA TALAVERA
PROJECT LEADER TIMELY JURISDICTION - COURT EAST BRABANT
What a great course we had from Rik! He had very good tips regarding public speaking that I will certainly use and he also knew how to involve the group with a combination of humor and enthusiasm. I can recommend this to everyone.
YOUSRA CHAABANE
POLICY OFFICER @ MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Rik is good at many things, but if there is one thing he excels at, it is public speaking. He can make you laugh and cry, and like no one else, take you on a story and inspire you. Besides beautiful terminology, he also possesses special non-verbal qualities. With his large gestures and subtle facial expressions, that ever-broad smile and droll eyes. Always inspiring, enthusiastic and passionate. Public speaking is Rik’s great preoccupation: his true talent.
