Thinking back of the workshop still makes us smile. The setup, with music, photos, the unique way of using the location and the process, made us feel as if we were colleagues already. Everybody worked hard and provided real results. If we had chosen a standard meeting, we would have never reached this level of involvement and participation.

Workshops
I came here with a great idea. I was stuck. To really turn it into reality I needed Esther. Sharp, creative and practical.
Anneke Veenendaal
The most difficult things, those I had to really think about, I did during the writing week. The rest I can easily do at home.
Esther Reinders
And then, all of a sudden, there was a second book!

Those moments when you’re stuck, Esther listens to you and then writes down what you wanted to say. Great!
Floor Schuttevaer
At home, I would have quit. Now I worked through those difficult moments.

During my focused sessions with Esther her candid appraisal of my own role within the team has strengthened my confidence in standing as a leader for the group without muffling the voice of the collective.
Niki Boshof, founder of Retroepic Software, South Africa
Esther’s no-nonsense advise has enabled me to flourish in many aspects for the past two years. As a speaker, with free publicity, in my business etc. in a way that enables you to be successful AND remain authentic. Exactly like Esther is herself.
Michele Sparreboom
I was stuck. Already for a while I had been dreading the next phase of my life; I could not let go of my ‘secure’ job after I became a dad. Esther’s enthusiasm, her energy and ‘can-do’ mentality are contagious. In just a few sessions she provided a frame with clear steps to guide me back into entrepreneurship.

Barbara Sevenstern
I have been inspired and infected by Esther’s energy and her confidence.
