The World of Magpie

I’m Marlies, a woman on a mission to inspire people and organisations to build a genuine connection through the power of clear and inclusive communication.

I use training, advice, and practical hands-on work to give you more insight into your communication efforts so you can successfully increase its effectiveness.

My approach is interactive, with a focus on sustainable solutions and results.

Through my work, I want to contribute to a world where everyone understands, respects and builds on each other’s different perspectives. I believe that by digging deeper and going beyond cultural conditioning, it’s possible to create real connections and a better world.

My themes? Diversity & inclusion, climate justice and human rights.

Are you curious about what we can build together? Let’s grab a (virtual) coffee!
