Translating
Contrary to the film, I believe in minimising what gets” lost in translation”. For that you need a professional. if English is not your native language and you have content in Dutch or French, then take no risks.

Testimonials
“Julie translated and edited my book ‘Tomorrow is Today’ from Dutch to English. She did an extraordinary job ensuring that texts were organized and handed in timely for me to proof read. I found her to be trustworthy, dynamic, focused on outcome and above all, caring as if it were her own project. I knew Julie from WBII that she presides. She is quick-witted and makes for a fantastic public speaker. With Julie, you just know that what she does, she does it well and her heart is in it! I look forward to work with her again.”
“I hired Julie to translate my coaching cards Creating Value Cards from Dutch to English. She was very involved in my cards. She even used them for her own business! I am very happy with the results, delivered on time and plenty of space for adjustments. It was a pleasure to work with Julie, who is, by the way, also good with words as a speaker and MC”.
“Looking back, I am very happy to have engaged Julie Kennedy for help in getting the English versions of business documentation and websites redone, as well as some translation work. We hesitated to get help again as traditionally you get invoices based on numbers of words translated and a translator who doesn’t grasp the thorough meaning and nuances of the text or business. Julie surprised us with direct and fast communication and full initiative in understanding our business. Working with her was having another entrepreneur sitting next to us and simply doing what had to be done rather than what was asked for.”
