Esther Jacobs

"I light fires. Preferably in hearts. If necessary, under feet…"

Esther Jacobs (The Netherlands, 1970) is an international speaker, author and 'digital nomad'. She has traveled to more than 100 countries, gave more than 1000 keynote presentations and 2 TEDx talks, is (co)author of more than 30 books and has helped thousands of professionals and entrepreneurs to write theirs.

Known as the ‘no-excuses lady’, Esther proves that you can turn even the bleakest situation into an opportunity:

• She collected €16 million for charities by collecting 'left over' foreign coins when the Euro was introduced. The Dutch queen knighted her for this initiative.

• She survived a month on a deserted island, participating in the European reality

TV show Survivor.

• She turned her relationship with 'Mr Wrong' into a best-selling book.

• Recently she got ‘fired’ from her home country for traveling too much. Instead of ‘homeless’, she became a digital nomad, living and working in 100+ countries. The very government that expelled her, is now consulting her on how to solve this issue for future mobile generations.

Esther strongly advocates not wasting your precious energy trying to change external circumstances which you cannot influence. Instead focus on what you can affect: your attitude and take control of your own life.
