David Sand, CEO Uwin Iwin and President SITE Global | SITE Antwerp (Emea forum)
“Cyriel was a breath of fresh air in an audience of hard to please delegates. His passion is evident in a really true European way, the content is deep and is from wide reading and personal experience. Cyriel is a professional speaker who lives his topics rather than just talking about them.”
Peter Coesmans, organizer International Project Management Conference | IPMA
“Cyriel has jump-started our project management conference with a very creative, entertaining yet also very to-the-point presentation. He received an 8 (which is VERY high for this audience!!)
