I\u2019m bilingual in Dutch and English and work in English. As well as these two languages, I also speak Swedish, German and French. In my role as a trainer-developer, I design programmes, develop bespoke course materials and mainly deliver tailor-made courses, both one-to-one and to groups. My training courses combine academic and business skills, with intercultural communication also playing an important role.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, I have delivered courses for organisations including NOS, Heineken, Rabobank, Deloitte, Utrecht University, Nyenrode, Talent&amp;Pro, ITV and ASR. My participants particularly appreciate the combination of language, culture and skills, as this adds significant value to the bespoke programmes at Babel.<\/p>\n<h3>Education and
