A Journey into Personal Leadership

and Bold ChoiceS

In 2015, my husband, Dr. Jeroen Ensink, was stabbed to death right outside our home in London.
A stranger suffering from psychosis attacked him as he was posting the birth announcements for our daughter.


I could have become hard and bitter, but I chose differently.
Not by clinging to the familiar, but by letting go of it completely.

The murder of my husband gave me a voice that reaches far beyond death.
It is a voice that highlights the power of choice and action.

I share my story to challenge the way we think.
Change is inevitable, but how we respond is what truly matters.

My personal experience is thought-provoking and my words go beyond inspiration.
I’m not here to give clear-cut answers.
I’m here for the questions that stay with you, the ones that shift your perspective.

My keynotes aren’t just stories; they are an experience
Real, raw, and impossible to ignore.
An invitation to those who dare to explore the unknown.

Personal leadership
is a hot topic.

but few truly embody it.
I do. Let me inspire you

That same voice brought me to the stage as a TEDx speaker. My talk is not just a story, it’s a wake-up call that life is no guarantee . 'Later' and 'someday' are gifts, not givens.

I don’t just share a story - I challenge people to rethink what’s possible, to embrace discomfort, and to make bold choices that truly fit them.

take aways from my keynote

I share my story - honestly and unfiltered. At times with humor, at times with tough questions. Not to impose anything on you, but to invite you to see things differently. My words are a powerful invitation to personal leadership and show you that you are capable of more than you ever thought.

My words and my insights challenge you to reflect on your own path. On where you've been and the choices you've made.
Of the future you envision - or the one you haven't yet dared to imagine. I invite you to take control of your life, and make choices that are truly yours.

Here is what you can expect:

  • Discover how letting go of certainties creates space for unimaginable possibilities.

  • Let my story inspire you to find dreams you tought were lost and dare to think bigger.

  • Understand that you can always choose a new direction, even when the path seems impossible.

  • Motivation fades if it isn’t followed by action. It’s about daring to decide, to act, and to create momentum where it matters most.

  • See how challenges don’t have to be limitations, but rather the key to growth and transformation.

  • My message not only fosters personal growth but also brings energy and inspiration within teams and organizations.

After My Talk…

  • Discover how challenges can be a springboard for growth and change.

  • Inspiration to step off the beaten path and look at your life with fresh eyes.

  • The confidence to make new choices and move forward with trust.

  • Teams and organisations will create space for fresh ideas and connection.

The Next Step:

From Inspiration

to Transformation

Inspiration can touch you, spark something within, and open your eyes to new possibilities. But real change? That only happens when you have the courage to take action.

My talk is often just the beginning - a first step toward transformation. The difference between staying stuck and moving forward isn’t knowing what to do - it’s having the courage to do it.

Do you want to take the energy, insights, and clarity from my talk and turn them into real, concrete steps? To move from awareness to action, from hesitation to momentum?

Then my Personal Leadership program is for you. I guide those who feel more is possible, but they can’t quite put their finger on it. Life is full of endless possibilities and that’s what you believe too, however…

You are ready to step into a life that truly aligns with who you are. Together, we uncover what you really want, break the patterns that keep you stuck, and take bold steps toward a life where you are in control.

Want to know what’s

possible for you?

Be inspired by my story and discover how to make powerful choices that transform your life.
