Hi, my name is Jean-Paul Toonen
I have provided a podium to over 500 public speakers.
And observed that only a few of their stories stuck with the audience.
After that I analyzed the process.
Step by step I have unraveled the secret behind a successful talk.
I figured out that the shortest road to a great presentation is the one without stress.
You will love it.

Work and other projects
I am one of the entrepreneurs behind T36 Media, a communication company in Maastricht that helps clients build loyal communities, drive business and reshape mindsets. In 2009, after discovering the PechaKucha format, I started immediately – with others – a new PK-platform in Maastricht. After thirty successful editions, I also set up a major annual TEDx event in Maastricht, which I supported for seven years as a curator and coach. ‘Communication’ is in everything I do and I love to share my insights with others.
