Esther has no job, relationship, money, retirement pension, rich family or any other form of security. Still she has traveled over 100 countries, collected €16 million for charity, got knighted by the Dutch Queen, lives on a tropical island and works only several months a year.
In her home country The Netherlands Esther is most famous for her brain child ‘Coins for Care’. When the Euro was introduced in 2002, she collected millions worth of foreign coins for charity. After that she turned the charity world upside down by promoting transparency and starting Holland’s first Donor Organization. Finally she participated in the European ‘Survivor’ TV show and was bullied off an uninhabited island in Malaysia.
Regardless of setbacks and sabotage, Esther keeps on smiling and manages to turn any situation into an opportunity. How does she do that? What can we learn from her?
By sharing her personal experiences, Esther guides us through the ups and downs we all encounter in our lives and businesses. The ‘No Excuses Lady’ proves that anything is possible.
