He offers them a fresh perspective on their situation and helps them see the possibilities available to them, even in challenging circumstances.

Sessions

Glenn knows better than anyone how to motivate people. Drawing on his own experiences and life events, he is able to encourage people to look at certain situations from a different perspective. The situation remains the same, but looking at it differently can make the process much easier. Negativity can cloud your vision, while in difficult situations, it is precisely then that you need to open your eyes. Acceptance is progress; you are the one who makes that choice. During his talk, Glenn shows you how to take (back) control. With this mindset, there is a lot to be gained. The theme of Glenn’s talk depends entirely on what you, as the client, are looking for. His story is always personal and tailored to your needs, and the talk can easily be combined with a football clinic.

If you are looking for an energetic moderator, Glenn Helder is the right choice. Glenn is full of energy, effortlessly guides the day, and is skilled at conducting interviews. He can also provide entertainment – anything is possible!

Glenn can still play football. During his football clinic, the focus is on playing football itself, but above all on teamwork. How do you work together as a team? How do you pass the ball? Who do you pass the ball to? These are all important aspects on the pitch, but they are equally relevant in the business world. Using practical examples, Glenn helps your team learn to work together more effectively. The football clinic can also be booked in combination with a talk.
