All SEMINAR SLIDES are now for sale on my webshop

Since I have started with my Seminars in May 2008 (only four years ago) I have presented my Seminars to more then 1000 persons.

As I have officially retired from Jumbo Shipping and Jumbo Offshore, I only manage this website and do consultancy work on a free lance basis and ocassionally do “In Company” Seminars

Lecture program for Two Day English Masterclass

To celebrate the 1000th participant to my Seminars, I gave away a new Apple iPad on the Frankfurt Seminar (25th + 26th of June) by means of a lottery. The lucky winner was Paolo Arfani from Saipem and he  received a brand new iPad on the Seminar!! The Masterclass will be in the metric System
