Bespoke sales and communication workshops

Renko Pauwels

Hi, I’m Renko.

I’ve been on both sides of the deal: Closing with enterprise giants like BNP Paribas, British Telecom, and the European Commission, and leading Enablement at a Berlin HR tech startup (where I’ve also tried buying software…).

I’ve trained global GTM teams, coached TEDx speakers, and ran Berlin’s biggest public speaking club. I learned the ropes hosting shows with storytellers, jugglers and drag queens. (Honestly? Not sure who’s more demanding.)


Working with me means bringing a can-do attitude and co-creating a dynamic space where you do the talking.


Expect actionable sales insights, sharp facilitation, and the kind of energy that makes people go home and call their mom about it.
