Testimonies of politicians
Bart De WeverBart De Wever
(Chairperson N-VA, Federal MP)
”With his media expertise and professionalism, Jo De Poorter uncovered my blind spots in just a few sessions. Analysis and technique now enable me to convey my TV message much more effectively.”
Adelheid ByttebierAdelheid Byttebier
(former Flemish Minister, Brussels MP)
”I have nothing but praise. As a first-time Minister, I got to know Jo as a coach with a lot of respect for his ‘students’. His strength is that he holds up a mirror in front of you. A politician deals with 101 things but with the public, there are at most 3 that keep coming back. The art is therefore to be able to set your own agenda in an interview or debate. And, yes, we laughed a lot during our sessions together. It was such a joy to work with him. Jo does everything with a wink and that’s the way I like it.”
Ludo SannenLudo Sannen
(former Flemish Minister, Flemish MP)
”Jo starts from the individual identity of the people he coaches. He definitely does not try to turn you into somebody different. He gives you tips to communicate your own ideas more effectively. The coaching sessions gave me greater confidence.”
Paul Van GrembergenPaul Van Grembergen
(former Flemish Minister for Culture, Honorary Mayor of Evergem)
“The content is crucial, but the packaging is at least as important. Civilised, stylish, intelligent, a little poetic if it’s appropriate and above all efficient. So that it works! My experience is that Jo De Poorter knows the formula and applies it like no other can.”
Staf NimmegeersStaf Nimmegeers
(Honorary Senator)
“People often lose a lot of their talents and qualities under pressure. Jo is someone who gives you back your natural qualities at those moments. He gets more out of yourself than you’d have thought possible.”
Rob BeendersRob Beenders
(Hasselt City Councillor for Tourism)
“Knowledgeable, driven and instant results. I profit daily from our collaboration. Success Coaching is a concept in communication.”
Kathy BerxKathy Berx
(Governor Province of Antwerp)
“It is practical, it is concrete and above all: no-nonsense. That’s the way I like it.”
Marc Van PeelMarc Van Peel
(former Chairperson CD&V, Honorary Senator, Antwerp City Councillor for the Port)
“I knew Jo De Poorter from TV programmes I never watch. And I thought that’s all he was good at. Until I got to know him as a media coach. Extraordinarily interesting, extremely professional, exceptionally enthusiastic.”
Nahima LanjriNahima Lanjri
(Senator, Antwerp City Councillor)
“Techniques and tips you can really use. Definitely not dry and theoretical but above all useful and practical. It brings out the best in you. What more can you want?”
