Patrick Veenhoff

A man of the world, of many languages and possessed of rare drive and ambition, Patrick left home at age 18 and the Netherlands at 21 to find his true calling. A quick study, sponge for knowledge, natural-born leader and team motivator, his on-the-job training with a mobile phone operator swiftly led to his working as an engineer helming telecom projects in the US, UK, Sweden, Germany and Israel—all before he turned 25. Next he learned German to earn his Master’s in Management, then switched to product management and business development. The decision to keep following his passion drew him to study Neuro-Linguistic Programming and to found insightz. Today, as a coach to established social media leaders and a talent scout for rising young stars, he is dedicated to creating the circumstances whereby they can learn to unlock their own potential, triumph over psychological barriers, become better communicators and happier people.

How to find and follow your passions, play to your strengths, connect the dots and truly grow as an individual and as a communicator are goals we all share and that Patrick Veenhoff set out to accomplish for himself. His success served as the impetus behind the creation of insightz, his new company. As an NLP Master Practitioner, Patrick is dedicated to working with social media leaders of today and tomorrow using principles grounded in Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Through one-on-one coaching, he will be helping iStrategy conference speakers prepare for their presentations by recognizing and harnessing their innate gifts so they can more easily connect with themselves and others. In the process, they will discover new and more powerful ways of expressing themselves and exploiting communication channels of all kinds, based on the idea that the better you communicate, the better the world will respond to you and your message.
