"Pernille, granddaughter of Gerrit-Jan van Heuven Goedhart, first High Commissioner for Refugees of the United Nations, is Ambassador for our foundation for many years. With great involvement and a warm friendly approach Pernille is presenting our events and her travels with us to different refugee camps abroad have resulted in a record of new donors for our organisation."
"Pernille took the lead as master of ceremonies of our virtual events. Her interviews are energetic and have a pleasant personal touch. She’s fluent in English and knows how to comfort her guests, both in studio and remote, to get them the best camera appearance."
"We regularly worked and still work with Pernille, mostly in her role as Facilitator. Always well prepared, with an enormous heap of knowledge and experience she knows to actively think and give a personal touch to all our joint projects. Her background in business transformation, sustainability and personal development result in immediate connection with the audience. Sharp; an absolute top professional!"
"I experience Pernille as a special personality, specialised in journalistic story telling. She knows how to bridge your Business Story and Strategic Business positioning while balancing detailed facts and speaking to the heart alive. She always sparks energy and joy to me. Many CEO's love working with her. Her stepping up to Facilitating Business Leadership Transformation i can only fully support"
"Pernille recently facilitated a Leadership Transformation Workshop, including a Personal Values Assessment, for a small group from our member firms in Europe. Every delegate found this a valuable, insightful and occasionally challenging day which enabled all of us to reappraise personal values, professional goals and relationships with our colleagues. I can highly recommend Pernille - we will most certainly be working with her again."
"In a professionally skilled and personally interested manner I was given a new, different, personal way of presenting my own company storytelling in a few hours. Not reactive, but pro-active. Pernille is a partner on your journey in doing so; Great!"
"With heart and soul, inspired and most of all with know how you need; that is the La Lau Effect! Go for your event flow... Pernille La Lau is spot on! Always…."
"Pernille is a power woman, professional in presenting and positioning businesses. Her empathy sees to it that she's able to pinpoint what's needed. Though we only met for a 3 hour workshop she was of great value to me. We'll meet again soon to continue the process."
"Pernille's very open, clear and 1-on-1 personal approach in the sessions with the goal to improve my presentation skills, have resulted in better and more confident presentations. Instead of learning by repetition, she let you present in a more professional way by understanding and realizing first why you should do things differently. She is a true coach and besides that a very nice person to work with."
"Pernille knows how to perform as a more than exquisite Master of Ceremony on Business Events. With her clear and pleasant approach everyone feels invited to join in the conversations and do their best to add to the greater purpose of the day. She carefully prepares every event in full detail. Short: more than just a recommendation!"
"Our guests where impressed with the passion and positive radiation with which Pernille has guided us as Master of Ceremony through the day. Professionally she has managed to invite our round table speakers to deliver sharp comments and conversations. Impressive!"
“Our philosophy is all about HOW you do things instead of just doing them. The best Coaches are the ones that show you where to look, while not telling what you must see. As presenter and personal- and media coaching, Pernille is one of a kind"
The Master of Ceremony at our event of Best Employers Netherlands was filled in by Pernille for many years. Always in fluid and sparkling way, her tone of voice, her sharpness and enthusiasm fit perfectly to what we like to radiate on these big events."
About Pernille La Lau
With more than 13 years of experience as a news anchor and presenter of various tv programs under my belt, I have been lucky to be in touch with many different entrepreneurs and companies. I am a regular Master of Ceremony at company or press presentations. The goal is always to lift the conversation and the issue of the day to a higher level. CEOs and managers contribute to this. The key to forging an entirety that remains inspiring and lingers after the meeting is over, is to build on your own strength while presenting, and to tell your story with pleasure and energy.

Loves harmony, adventure, and challenges. A firm believer in the assertion that sharing is multiplying exponentially. Is climate-aware in her personal life, and aims to create a sustainable future, together with you!
