Simone de Haas, speaker, actor, producer

My guest today is Simone de Haas, renaissance woman.

Simone’s creative capacities move effortlessly between stage and boardroom, singing or directing and leadership, and the freedom of improvisation to the acuity of corporate storytelling.

Her book ‘Everyday Presence’ has become the simple foreword to a compelling and interactive personal story of presence and perception that is continually expanding through her diverse portfolio of work. She offers unconventional breakthrough programs and coaching for professional speakers, business leaders, actors, singers and dancers who desire to have their voice in the world.

Creativity is the ability to create something that wasn't there a moment ago @speakerdirector Click To Tweet

Simone is currently the Senior Vice-President (Qld & NT Chapter) of the National Speaker’s Association of Australia. She has won theatre industry awards including a coveted Matilda Award for Directing, Acting & Design in 2011 and an ABC Bell Award for Best Production & Best Director.
