Read this before every meeting
A man walks into a New York comedy club where an MC (= host) is about to open the night🎤 The MC starts warming up the crowd by asking people from the audience about what they did that day. To every answer he reacts with a very funny response and the crowd loves it👏
How I got rid of a very bad habit after 20 years
For as long as I can remember, I have been scratching the skin of my fingertips whenever I felt stressed. It destroyed my hands, but it was a bad habit I couldn't seem to shake.People asked about it in meetings, my nephews would ask why my fingers were so damaged, my wife urged me to stop every single day.
The screen didn’t make you boring, you probably already were
Covid-19 took the world by storm and brought us a tornado of fake news, face masks, facetime and free webinars. Our screen became our only window to the world. Our only source of entertainment, information, company gossip and the closest thing we got to checking if our loved ones were doing ok. We started out apologizing in meetings for our kids in the background, not wearing any pants and that the laundry room became our office.

Tim Berx – Supply Chain Director, EDC Carglass
You really raised the bar on training. Expectations where high, but you met them, we couldn’t stop talking afterwards on how much we had learned about pitching, storytelling and stakeholder management in such a short amount of time.
Thessely Juliet – Online Marketeer, Harstichting Nederland
I was better able to identify my strenghts and weaknesses when it comes to storytelling. Stick to the super clear 5 step method and you will rock any type of content. From capturing your target audience, getting buy-in to connecting with people. Marnick’s ability to always pinpoint exactly what your story needs is admirable.
Sasha Sadri – Purpose Coach & Mentor, MIMM
Thank you Marnick! When we started I thought I was ‘not good enough’, but this mentorship has helped, and still helps, to overcome my fears and be confident in my beliefs. I now have structure and a firm plan to bring the best version of myself. Stepping out of my comfort zone, because there is where the magic happens. Thank you for the wonderful journey!
Sonja Tielen – Financial Business Partner SOTI
You don’t only learn more about communication and storytelling, but you also learn more about yourself and who you can become. The Mentorship, you just have to do it!
Willem Bonneux – BizDev Consultant, Bonneux &Co
I gained a better understanding of how to structure a story, prepare myself for trainings, webinars, videos and keynotes. The very practical approach really matched my way of learning. Insights that immediately got put into practice. I can now say my stories are more actionable and told in an entertaining way.
Bert Schols – Founder MAST agency
Probably the best training I have followed so far. I strongly recommend to also follow a training at Stand Up Company if you have the ambition to become a better communicator/storyteller.
Vincent Battaglia – Co-Founder & CTO, Ludus
