In 2007 I founded EmpoweringPeople to focus on the human side of transformation within corporate environments. As our world becomes increasingly digital, I believe it’s more important than ever to nurture our unique human qualities—creativity, empathy, and connection.

Technology vs humanity

Balancing Man and Machine

As AI and technology continue to reshape our lives, my work focuses on finding the right balance between man and machine. Since 2019, I’ve been sharing my insights through keynotes, helping organizations understand the opportunities and challenges of AI. But I don’t stop at just talking—I integrate sound into my work, offering sound sessions (‘speaking without words’ is what I call it) that help people reconnect with themselves and experience true inner peace.

Margot was a fantastic speaker at an event about the impact of AI on the creative sector at A Lab on March 28. Her keynote was lively, inspiring, and engaging from start to finish. She managed to involve the audience in her story and held their attention with her enthusiastic presentation.

Arpad Gerecsey

Directeur / Managing Director A-Lab

Margot has done extensive preparation to tailor her presentation to suit us, which felt very professional. It didn’t feel like a lecture she delivers exactly the same way every time.

Tulan Leth

Head of CEO Office Advisense - Stockholm

Margot is an insightful and passionate speaker. The speaking itself she has raised to be an art by itself, but more importantly her message is spot on in todays disconnected world. I have asked Margot to inspire my entire team and her contribution to the phase that we were in as a company was a message that needed to be heard. From one heart to another Margot’s speech inspired my team and left a message that still resonates today.

Dirk Beljaarts

You scored an 8.2. Compliments, as it is truly a critical audience. Your keynote was rated as the most relevant!

Pleuni Maassen

Management Support Event

I got goosebumps when I listened to you. What you say, and how you say it…

How you emphasize that everything is shifting, and what it takes for that, no one can say that better than you. Vulnerable and very powerful. From your heart.

Yolanda Eijgensteijn

Margot is an inspirational speaker who addresses you straight from the heart. She understands how to move her audience: Empowering, Energetic and Informative at the same time. Her topic is an issue we have to deal with every day, so in my opinion she should get as much attention as possible to tell her story all over the world.

Charles van Goch

CEO  Mise en Place

Margot has taken ample time to give all hotel concierges a positive feeling during our Les Clefs d’Or meeting about the future. After her inspiring story, they go back to work with great enthusiasm to bring hospitality to an even higher level.
