They may seem like very different concepts: having motivation and finding purpose—the light and serious sides of every endeavor. Yet they are closer than you think. Without motivation, nothing meaningful happens. Harry Piekema clearly explains how this all comes together in body language and how you can immediately enhance your strengths using the Attention Areas Method. This method draws on his extensive experience as a theater actor and trainer, as well as his studies in integral psychology. A practical, hands-on lecture or training.
Harry Piekema addresses the topic of communication in his presentations. If you want to make an impact, convey something meaningful, or truly reach people, it’s important to be motivated and engaged. Only then does your body participate, and half of your message is already communicated before you even speak. Non-verbal communication becomes your support and foundation, naturally creating connection. You enjoy speaking or taking part in a serious or engaging conversation. Explaining this principle in a lecture, workshop, or personal coaching has been a core part of Harry’s work for several years—and he enjoys doing it.
As the bridge between the country’s largest supermarket chain and the Dutch public, Harry Piekema’s task was to deliver every commercial message in a way people gladly accepted. He succeeded, becoming the friendly and engaging face of Albert Heijn. What is the secret behind that personal and strong customer connection that made him a welcome guest in people’s homes? And do you always feel motivated to be seen that way?
Besides being an actor, Harry was already a communication trainer before becoming a TV personality. This lecture explores how the principles of non-verbal communication helped him strengthen AH’s network—and how they can be applied by any networker. The challenges and pitfalls he encountered, together with his comedic talent—which is both his profession and personal salvation—run as a consistent thread throughout the session.
