About Otto Wijnen
His playful fake speech starts like any other speaker. He has prepared a neat slidedeck and at first his story seems to match the topic of the day flawlessly. But after a few minutes his listeners notice the first weird remarks and slowly the story takes a strange turn. However; there is an underlying message: changes are happening at lightning speed and it is important to keep up! By consciously taking them out of their comfort zone, Otto creates a shared experience, which means that the next part of the program or the closing drink has a different, more energetic character. What distinguishes Otto even more is his multimedia knowledge, quick humor and playful use of language. Moreover, he likes to look at the whole event together with the client: why is the event being organized? What is the purpose of his contribution? How do we achieve the desired effect?
Otto Wijnen was born in Amstelveen in 1968 and completed his University Education in Cultural and Social Education in 1995. Many performances (children’s theatre, actor, presenter) and wanderings later (head of recreation, multimedia producer, website company), he decided to focus entirely on his fakespeech about innovation and change in 2006. He has been a professional fake speaker for since. In 2018, Otto wrote the book “Help! I need to speak”; a practical guidance for speakers. He is a certified presentation coach, – Virtual Event Meeting Manager, – presentation trainer, -speaker coach and the father of two daughters.
Otto likes to contribute to social causes by presenting benefit auctions and by guiding do-gooders with their presentations. He has a great interest in environmental issues and is an electric car enthusiast.
