    John McKellar, Bridging the Gap – NGO Academy
    ‘I have had the pleasure of working with Anna Heijker on many occasions as she has provided her experience and knowledge during our NGO Breakfast Sessions, which invites individuals from NGO’s to learn from experts. Anna has led sessions on ‘Sharpen Your Presentation Skills’ and ‘How To Build A Personal Brand’, which were interactive and informative. The feedback for these sessions was extremely positive, including comments on her positive energy, inspiring presentation style and the self-realisation by the participants. I would recommend working Anna because not only is she smart and professional, she exudes energy, knowledge and creativity through wit, humour and class.’
  • Raluca Stavaru, Business Days
    Raluca Stavaru, Business Days
    ‘Anna was appointed to hold a speech at Business Days in July 2015. She proved to be very thorough in preparing her presentation, which was both rich in content and captivating. She shared with the audience how a bilateral chamber of commerce can help entrepreneurs to grow their business. We received a lot of positive feedback from the audience. Anna is a great person to work with and also a passionate professional in her field, putting a lot of energy in her work.’

    ‘I would say Anna Heijker is one of the best speakers I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. She did a great job as one of the speakers at ‘Meet the Storytellers - Overcoming Adversity’. Anna inspired the audience by sharing a story about challenges in business. I would highly recommend Anna for her message, her energy and her humanity.’

    Arabela Margean, Procter & Gamble
    'Anna has successfully delivered a highly interactive pitch training for the Purchasing Department within Procter&Gamble Romania. The learning mode was set from the beginning to all 40+ attendees. The interactive atmosphere kept us all active throughout the entire session and I personally loved how present Anna was at every moment! Anna made us all think about ourselves and how to effectively put that into a 1 minute speech. A few impressions from participants: 'Excellent content', 'Great speaker, interactive and knowledgeable', 'Good crowd management and high interest'. The participants loved the training session and they would like to have more of these in the future! Anna, thank you once again and I hope we will work together again very soon!'
  • Andrei Ignat, EA Games

    Technical Director
    Anna created a presentation for potential sponsors for our conference ITdevConnect – Tech, fun and inspiration. We used this presentation during meetings with potential sponsors, multinationals in the IT industry, and we had good results. At the conference itself Anna took care of the after lunch presentation. Having an after lunch dip was impossible, because Anna made us laugh and prepared us for the rest of the conference program. I recommend to work with Anna if you are looking for a presenter with a high energy level, who is always well-prepared and makes sure the goals of the conference will be met. We look forward to work with Anna in the frame of the second edition of ITdevConnect!

Anna has a high energy level and during the interactive training with real-life examples participants have sharpened the messages about their companies. The result is that they feel more confident and they are ready to create new business opportunities. We look forward to next trainings with Anna!'
  • Valentina Tirlea
    Valentina Tirlea
    Online Marketing Specialist
    I have attended the workshop Elevator Pitching organized by Anna hoping to improve my self presentation skills when given a very brief time frame. Anna delivered a brilliant workshop, extremely well structured and organized and, most importantly, doubled by practical exercises that really made all the difference. When I left the workshop, I already had an optimized, highly focused elevator pitch to use with my potential clients. I would definitely recommend her skills and energetic vibe to anyone looking to get fast, practical results regarding their communication abilities.

    Anna helped me to create a one minute pitch for my company MindIt. We worked one-on-one and Anna explained me the technique for the pitch. Afterwards we worked on the structure for the pitch and how to deliver it with impact. Anna is a good listener and she gave me valuable feedback. The result is that I feel very confident when I go to networking events or when I have to present my company at other occasions.

It was a truly inspirational speech, filled with her personal experience and passion, and it sparked an interesting discussion between the participants. It was a great experience and we would recommend working with Anna any time.'

In short
