Television career
Pauline’s television career began in the late 1990s in Seattle, USA. There she made the transition from economics graduate (UVA) to actress, and later continued this career switch in the Netherlands. As a TV presenter, she is best known for the business programs on RTLZ—Ondernemerszaken, Duurzaam Ondernemen, and Lokaal Duurzaam—and the RTL4 travel programs Snowmagazine and ViaVacance. On the program Ondernemerszaken, she interviewed entrepreneurs on a wide range of topics, from safety, ICT, social media, and e-invoicing to writing a business plan for a new company.
Moderator and motivator
When hosting corporate events, her background in economics and her presenting experience come together perfectly. Engaging with her audience so that the message sticks is something she truly enjoys doing. Thanks to her background and experience, Pauline is widely versatile as a moderator and always strikes the right chord—whether at the Topsector Logistics conference, the three-day Global Entrepreneurship Summit where she presented GES TV for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or the annual congress for Bouwend Nederland, where she ensured that even this audience was moved to action.
The events and seminars Pauline hosts are very diverse. Whether she is presenting Google’s highly interactive event, introducing Eneco’s new business strategy for 2020 to its management team, or motivating the wedding planners of the Netherlands, every time she strikes the right chord and makes sure her audience leaves the room energized.
Speaker
Where do you find the courage—LEF—to act? LEF: “The courage to do something you normally wouldn’t do right away.” Especially now, it’s important to have some LEF, to stay in a positive flow. Taking action, making a step, and achieving a result helps you get through challenging times. And we do this TOGETHER. Pauline always gets the audience moving and guarantees that tomorrow will be different from today. In addition, she has a new lecture titled Pauline’s LEF Boost.
