Bonjour, my name is Sabine and I am as Dutch as tulips and Gouda cheese. I live with my husband Evert and daughter Sacha in Cereste, a little village between Apt and Manosque in Alpes de Haute Provence.
In my ‘previous life’ in the Netherlands, I worked as a storyteller for an international child rights organisation. I had the privilege to travel all over the world to share the stories of most marginalized children and their families through photography, video and copy.
I strongly belief in the power of storytelling: a good story is about vision, believes, values and emotion. Introducing story telling in your business – a brand story – will help you to capture people’s attention, bake your information into their memories and forge close, loyal and personal bonds with your clients and prospects. That is not only my belief, it is actually proven by neuroscience. It is the same principle as your favourite books and movie characters: if you craft a compelling brand story, your audience will remember who you are, develop empathy and -ultimately – care for you.
CREATE YOUR BRAND STORY
I can help you to create your personal brand story with a simple 3 hour session, which will only cost you € 125,- (Network Provence tariff, through online meeting). The end product of our online sessions will be your personal brand story in approx. 250 words that will be the foundation of all your promotion and communication (even the one-minute Network Provence meeting pitches J).
FURNISH YOUR HOME WITH YOUR STORIES
A home is a 3D biography and the ultimate reflections of your story. The Danish ‘Hygge’ [hoo-ga] means creating a safe, cosy, warm and natural environment that stimulates and relaxes all the senses with colours, textures and light. It connects well with the Provence way of life; where in- and outdoor merge and flavours, colours and scents seem more intense.
Let me help you create your own ‘hygge en Provence’. Your personal story is leading to create comfortable and functional in- and outdoor spaces using Scandinavian, French and Dutch design, brocante, repurposed items, nature and your personal memories.
WELTEVREE
A perfect example of a compelling brand story is the Dutch outdoor design brand ‘Weltevree’. Their products reconnect you to your physical and social surroundings and are produced with durability in mind. I represent Weltevree in the South of France. You can visit my showroom in Cereste by appointment or visit weltevree.eu and email me your order (free delivery and assembly).
