- Be one of those people to post annoying content on social media
- Have extra work on your to-do list
- Be in the spotlights or talk too much about yourself

In this workshop we’ll work hands-on
- Determining your unique added value
- Understanding your followers and how social media can connect you with them

Social media can be easy and fun!
Esther belongs to the top 10% of social media influencers worldwide. Many of Esther’s fans have been following her for 10-15 years.
She learned the skill of free publicity (always provide added value!) in an offline world during her Coins for Care campaign, during which she collected 16 million euro for charities. Online she applies the same principles, which distinguishes her from the many ‘social media gurus and templates that feel less authentic.
You don’t need paid ads or an expensive agency. There is a lot of free publicity you can do yourself, easily, for organic reach and a authentic connection with your followers.
“I’ve got professional experience with social media but struggled with coming up with content for my posts.
With Esther’s tips, in less than two weeks I increased my reach.”Marianna

How I wrote a book in one week with ChatGPT
Writing a book in one week might sound like a daunting task, but with the right approach, it becomes more achievable than you'd think. I recently wrote a business book for a client in just seven days, using my Reverse Writing methodology and ChatGPT. Along the way, I learned some valuable lessons that anyone can benefit from—even if you're not writing a book.
My 13 most memorable speaking gigs
I have been a motivational speaker for more than 25 years. Each of the 1000 keynotes and 2 TEDx speeches was special. Either because of the location (Qatar, South Africa, Lithuania, New York, in a zoo, in the money museum during my collection of €16 of foreign coins for charity) or because of the special connection I had with the audience (entrepreneurs, travellers, professional women, veiled or not). I treasure the messages people sent me afterwards; how my story changed their lives and motivated them to quit their jobs, become entrepreneurs or make another important life decision after hearing my talk. Some events stood out. In this blog, I share some of my most memorable events, bloopers, and some tips for speakers at the end.
Inner peace
For a few months now I have had the feeling of enormous peace within me. I almost can not believe it. The unrest that has always been there is gone. I was always in 'survival mode', always alert, busy, and productive. Now it feels more like just BEING and enjoying.
