Spoken word or custom poem.
Show the soul of your business.
Connect people with your mission and with each other in a meaningful way.
No matter what business you are in, no matter how down-to-earth you are, and your business is, you want to connect to people's minds and hearts.
Poetry and Spoken Word Poetry are powerful ways to do just that. I am known for down-to-earth but also deep and connecting words. I bring your message down to the essence in a to-the-point way.
Ways customers use these words:
-
A 5-10 minute spoken word/poetry at an event to get people started and connected in a fun and connected way.
-
A short powerful poem on their office wall to remind employees and customers of what the company stands for.
-
(As part of) a speech.
-
An accompanying letter/note with a gift.
-
A poem to celebrate a special occasion.
My style is often described as down-to-earth, light yet deep and connecting.
How does it work?
We have a conversation about what you need and want to achieve. I come up with the best idea to fit your goals.
When we start, I will have a conversation with one or more people to get to the essence and feeling of the message. I start writing and if needed we have a round of revisions.
What is the price?
For a 5-10 minute live spoken word/poetry + a 10/12 line poem, the fee is 1000 euros. For NGO's
I offer special fees.
If you want or need something else, I will create a custom offer.
Testimonials and examples: Buzz Women
For the NGO Buzz Women I did a Spoken Word / Poetry to connect the employees to the year they had together and their ambitions and vision. I also wrote a short poem based on the Spoken Word which they shared with their ambassadors and on social media. They also decided to put the poem up on their office wall.

Testimonials and examples: Liliane Fonds
For the Dutch Foundations Lililane Fond and Miva I did a Spoken Word / Poetry to connect the employees and volunteers. I connected the story of origin with the current ambitions and mission. I also wrote a short poem based on the Spoken Word which they shared with all their employees, and volunteers and on social media. They also decided to put the poem up on their office wall.
Listen to the spoken word version here:
"Manon wrote a custom poem for the Liliane Foundation and MIVA and wore it during our Christmas party.
The poem 'Let's Together' beautifully brought to life the rich history, aspiration and inspiration of our work. Manon listened, and above all quickly managed to get to the heart of the matter. I can recommend this to any organization and company that will connect volunteer employees in a different way."
(Erik Ackerman, Director Liliane Fonds)
