You should book Linda Duits if you are looking for:
- A refreshing speaker or panelist
- An enthusiastic moderator
- An adept workshop instructor
My knowledge base is extensive. To give you an idea, here are ten somewhat arbitrary examples (in alphabetical order) of topics I was invited to speak on in 2024:
Andy Warhol’s women; boundary-crossing behavior in healthcare; consent; deepfake pornography; Dutch pop culture; masculinity; myths of the second feminist wave; safety in nightlife; sexual freedom; TMF (The Music Factory).
Frequently Asked Questions about booking me:
When are you available?
When is it? š My schedule is flexible: Iām available during the day, in the evening, and at weekends ā but not always, of course. Short notice is possible as well, so just ask!
Can I also book you for a topic that's not listed here?
Certainly! The examples are meant to demonstrate the diversity. Feel free to make a request. Together we’ll discuss whether what your organization has in mind aligns with my expertise.
Will you come to my event even if I don't have any budget?
Unfortunately, I cannot work for free. However, I’m happy to offer discounts on my standard fees to students and other organizations with limited funds. Feel free to send a request.
How do you handle sensitive topics/disputes between speakers/unpleasant reactions/vulnerable audiences?
As a moderator, I invest in creating a friendly atmosphere so people feel at ease. I make sure speakers can come fully into their own and encourage interaction with and from the audience. Meanwhile I carefully monitor the audience’s emotions. Thanks to my experience with ‘difficult’ questions, I am adept at diplomatically resolving unexpected situations.
