Dominik is very accessible and actively thought about how we could take the keynote to a higher level with a better experience with the resources available. Highly recommended and a great experience if I can believe the feedback from the audience.

We were lucky enough to have booked Dominik Messiaen for our annual EMEA Regional Meeting in Hamburg and it was an absolute success. He was still the focus of the conversation days after. I can highly recommend and hope that I will have the chance to work together with him again in the future!

Time Change

Jakob Nader

Dominik conducted a workshop on persuasive positive communication for our team of managers. We didn't quite know what to expect, and some of us were even a bit skeptical. But from the first minute, Dominik proved himself to be a professional, passionate, and charming host. We started with some theory, accompanied by a small demo. Everything was handled very respectfully and with humor. After that, we received practical tools to integrate into our own communication and the opportunity to practice them ourselves. The time flew by. He completely won us over!
