In 2008 I got a new job. At the time I had no idea what I had got myself into. The new job was to present and pitch the Ericsson portfolio to CxO, royalties, ambassadors and investors from all around the world.

When I found out – I actually panicked! No-one, however, knew was that I had such stage freight that I couldn’t eat for 24 hours before delivering a presentation!

I played with the idea of resigning for about a week before deciding that life always provides different challenges and it is up to you how you chose to address them.

After a lot of practise, endless mistakes and a lot of learning, I eventually achieved a lot of success, and, most of all, a lot of fun – and what a ride it was! Over the next 5 years I delivered more than 5000 presentations and pitches.

Who would have thought that an engineer by heart actually had a secret passion for communication? Especially, the skills to communicate with impact.

In 2014 I founded ELIZA Communication in the hope that I could help others to communicate with more clarity, passion and impact.

Since then I have taught sales excellence for demonstration presenters at a wide range of international events, coached top executives and start-ups, focusing on their investor pitch, sales pitch, TED talk, keynote speech  and business development.
