Speaker Topics

  • Relevant

    “Work” is in it’s biggest transformation ever. With new technology and data entering the workspace it’s about finding the right balance between man and machine - Margot’s key topic and main driver.

  • Relatable

    She’s walked the mile, done the work, and learned her lessons. At the same time she is just another human being, with human struggles and questions. She brings all of this - and much more - to the stage.

  • Radiant

    Margot is a natural speaker and owns her topic. She is a radiant personality, who cares about her message and her audience. In her talks she stimulates both the left and right brain, making it a true experience.

  • Actionable

    Your actions speak louder than words. That’s why the talks are not just great talks, but actionable too. With clear tools, smartly woven into the inspiration, to follow up with after the talks.

More About Margot

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 Eijgenstein

Founder Moving Leadership / Initiator Humanity Rising NL

I have come to know Margôt – when she was keynote speaker at a hospitality event – as an insightful and passionate speaker. She has raised speaking to be an art by itself, but more importantly her message is spot on in today's disconnected world. I have asked Margôt 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 Margôt’s speech inspired my team and left a message that still resonates today.

Dirk Beljaarts

CEO, Koninklijke Horeca Nederland

Margôt 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 (Chief Empowering Officer), Hospitality Synergy Group / Mise en Place

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

Ron Stoevelaar

President Les Clefs d’Or the Netherlands

Margôt knows how to captivate an audience! She does this through personal stories and life experiences, but more importantly, through striking the right balance: between human and tech, between feeling and thinking. Her message is a human view on a theme that affects all of us: the technological and digital revolution.

De mens van morgen - van homo sapiens naar homo conexus

In November 2019 Margot’s first book was published. In this book Margot shares her vision of people today and paints a picture of humanity in the near future. With a unique combination of personal experiences and insights linked to social themes, it exposes the essence. Tomorrow People are real people, able to connect like no other – but not just in a digital way. Homo conexus distinguishes itself by its ability to and need to be connected, with yourself, with others and with the whole. in order to revalue human values from that connection and to really give space to diversity.

Tomorrow People is an interesting, optimistic view of humanity in the (near) future. The book is only available in Dutch, but you can find an extract of the book in English here.
