Yoke,
I love the practical actions and the very clear images.
I am actually already drawing my sales' strategy, based on your talk.
Kudos, and would love to explore further.
Thanks again,
Morgane
The message in your presentation brought a lot of value to me as an emerging speaker. It was an eye opener and a guide what should I do next and how to make a plan to move forward. The presentation was greatly put together in terms of keeping audience engagement, knowledge, fun and exterp insights. You were 'sexy' and left me wishing to know more. Thank you for this great presentation.
Well done Yoke! I thoroughly enjoyed your talk this morning. It was fresh, light and humorous and really motivating. It gave me a whole list of things that I need to act on but it was manageable and I never felt that I was being bombarded with too much. Thanks for sharing! 👊🏻
Thank you Yoke for sharing your Time Energy and Learnings - I have made a few valuable notes and intent to apply the understanding gained from your session.
Stay blessed
Thank you Yoke! You have given me so much clarity on ‘making the horse thirsty’. Keep reminding them who you are, and soon you will be one of them 🙏 Definitely going to remember and implement this!
Thank you so much for your sharing in VSAI Summit today. I have learned so much from you.
Cheers,
Shirlyn
I love the way you use analogy in your speaking, it makes it very relatable
Well done Yoke. You taught me how to become a better speaker. The metaphor with the horse is the best metaphor I ve heard so far and it will stay with me for good.
I loved how you used the Michael Jordan metaphor to win against tough competition. You told the story well and had me interested throughout.
This was a fascinating presentation of a case study that resonated well with both sales and marketing teams.
I have been in marketing for over 20 years and I find that there is often tension between the marketing department and the sales department.
Yoke expertly merged both disciplines in a case study, illustrating how collaboration and personalization resulted in success for everyone.
Yoke's talk was energising and motivational
It helped me see the connection between cultural messaging and personal branding. Yoke uses engaging content that makes use of storytelling and imagery to deliver poignant personal brand messages.
Yoke presented at our recent Sales Summit in Sandton, Johannesburg. Yoke is energetic and a thought leader of note. She kept the audience attention and presented well on the topic. Thanks Yoke, for sharing your knowledge, time and effort. You are a star!
Hi Yoke….thank you so much for an inspirational presentation which was so captivating,good delivery and your energy we felt it,I am intimidated by chatGBT cause Unisa makes us fear this AI tool to such an extent that I did not want to download it,or use it for anything but you changed my mind today.I thank you cause you highlighted other ways why it’s beneficial to us and as you said whether we like AI or not it’s here to stay,it’s the way to go to Innovation.
The session was captivating and challenging. Personal branding extends to the business as well.
AI is here and those who adopt it will benefit from it.
This was very informative. it made me realise that there is so much to learn to keep up with the constant change world of business. (Innovation)
Thank you for making me interested in my personal development. I left the other group and came to your session. And I was right.
Brilliant presentation and insights
Great presentation! Love your energy.
Yoke has a special talent to execute her Thought Leadership skills, Marketing and Human Behaviour all in one. She brings a fresh and different perspective.
Absolutely LOVED that you brought the latest data to the talk and that there were things I could instantly implement!
Yoke’s talk hit the spot for me in the right way at the right time, giving a simple progression of cumulative points, each with an emotional charge, and altogether inspiring me to the action that was hovering and waiting for my readiness. The ultimate praise for a talk is to go and implement the insights from it, which is what I am doing.
I thought the topic of your presentation was almost just click bait and you where going to just do a basic sales training presentation, but I really like how you actually incorporated the Michael Jordan story into the presentation. It felt less like a boring lecture, and more like a story being told.
Yoke Van Dam is a consummate professional, on stage and off. She is also one of a kind, exuding warmth and care alongside her expertise.
In this impactful keynote, Yoke harnessed a story (technically a case study) to make game-changing marketing and sales principles tangible and memorable. What really struck me in this session is the way she demonstrated how we can negotiate to create an all-round win that rewrites the rules of the game.
It has been said that a great speech transforms your audience. In this session, Yoke has certainly transformed my approach to marketing and sales. I recommend her without reservation.
Thank you for the tips on the types of buyers to target.
Great presentation and thank you again for the engaging session
Such a pleasure learning from you, Yoke. Your tireless perseverance and yen for excellence is an inspiration. (And a fire under my rear.) Bravo and thank you.
Your prepared speech was well thought out and expertly delivered, Yoke van Dam Your use of story and analogy worked very well. Your fire story is a powerful metaphor for a speech. Lucky audience that books you.
Thank you for your wise and measured contributions and of your course your energy.
"I got a lesson for my business from your presentation. No wonder you are a leadership expert. You can find a lesson for business leaders in a story that would make the average person book in for trauma counselling. "
I really enjoyed the visual way you presented the reverse engineering of goals. Your actual experience way very insightful and authentic- I really enjoyed hearing practical ways you used to achieve your goals
I am a first-time listener and so enjoyed the topic. The material presented was clear and got me thinking. I felt motivated - thank you.
I found this session extremely helpful. You plotted out a course of action for a big goal of mine in a simple way. That saved me a massive amount of work. The tools helped me to produce a process I can teach to my clients.
Yoke had a very interesting sense of humour and presented her talk in a way that was easily digestible but very layered and informative!!
Hi Yoke
Trust all is well
Your presence is radical and so informative. You truly inspired a shift in my thinking.
Thank you 😊
Regards
Bobby
Enough it much more that I expected. Both me and my husband got different lessons out of it and incurrence both of us to go for what we are worth
Thank you for a great event, Yoke van Dam really shared valuable insights.
You will never know the day and time someone will discover you, take risks, be a rookie get out of your comfort zone.
Not everyone will buy into you ideas and thats okay. Keep on doing what you love, believe in your dreams, your vision, your voice.
Empathy is a choice
Empathy stay out of judgment
Empathy is feeling what people feel
Make you're story, your voice, you message stick
Yoke, I am in absolute awe of your work ethic. Your preparation for the talk was obvious in the material. Your communication before the event was comprehensive. You "showed up and stepped up" even with an injured foot, and then you delivered your talk with purpose, passion and poise. If that wasn't enough, you followed up with a personal WhatsApp message and then an email summary of the lessons that you shared with us. You are a consumate professional. I applaud you 👏
Thank you for sharing tips on how to notice our triggers and manage them.
This message was clear and straight to the put. I love how the speaker used her own personal stories and books that are familiar to make a strong put . This is the kind of talks we need to help us in our Professional journey.
Dear Yoke, you have helped me to remove a yoke from my mind on how to react when clients are uncooperative. Thank you very much. It is important to be sturdy even in storms. Warm regards, Tumi Pitsie
You are indeed a story teller and a teacher while you do it with so much fun and invigorating energy.
As a consultant to authors and business owners, I have to pitch up in a positive state regardless of what is happening in my personal life or that of my clients. Yoke shared some practical and simple techniques to manage my state in any situation. Thank you so much.
Thank you Yoke for spending the morning with us. We really enjoyed your talk and the way you animated it made it easier for us to visualize our role in these kinds of situations - Shark or Dolphin :). Thank you again
