Andre touches you, takes you into his story or vision and makes you think. The combination of resilience, passion, self-reliance, innovation, high performance and human leadership touches the audience.

A good keynote speaker touches you, takes you into his story or vision and makes you think. A good keynote speaker invites you to look at things in a different way. That is exactly what Andre brings about with his keynote speeches. Time after time his audience is deeply touched by the power of his vulnerability, his music that comes straight in and the way Andre brings his audience from head to heart in seconds.

What he notices again and again in his activities as a keynote speaker, is the power of the combination of his personal story and the themes such as resilience, passion, self-reliance, innovation, high performance and human leadership. Because in addition to his story he also plays the trumpet, his words and music come in without knocking and touch deep. Precisely this combination ensures that people vulnerable also start to share their own stories. Andre enjoys it when people take off their masks through his stories and music. From their vulnerability, knowing what their disabilities are. Always with his key question: what is your trumpet, what can you always rely on?

Andre has been a regular keynote speaker at corporate events, network meetings and conferences since his performance at Tedx Nijmegen in 2013. Ideas worth spreading' is exactly what Andre wants to contribute to as a keynote speaker.

Andre has already given his keynote speeches at various large and smaller organisations. As a keynote speaker Andre not only shares his life story, which is based on passion, misfortune, perseverance and resilience, but he also talks with taste about his inspiring life as a top musician and innovator with his orchestra. Ziggo, KPN, EY, the Dutch Paralympic team and the municipality of Rotterdam, among others, have already been touched by Andre's inspiring story and ditto music.

As a small child Andre Heuvelman (1966) already had a great love for making music. By coincidence the trumpet came his way, only because of his handicap (a too short forearm and a limp wrist) this instrument was a great challenge. Because of his down-to-earth approach to go for what he wanted to achieve in music, Andre has a special life story to tell. That is why Andre is regularly asked as a key note speaker to move, connect and inspire audiences. With his beautiful music and infectious vulnerability and enthusiasm he tells his story and challenges his audience to dare to stand on their own stage.
