He established himself as an independent entrepreneur in Amsterdam (1972) and subsequently in Hilversum (1984-1999). During his time in the Netherlands he gave numerous presentations and training. Because of prosopagnosia (an inability to recognize the faces of familiar people, or face blindness) and visual focus problems, he doesn't travel anymore and doesn't attend large meetings. In order to proof his approach in management consultancy, Eppink, notwithstanding his successful business and career, started a new life at age 49.

Education (Cultural Differences and Communication) was based on participant observations carries out by a cultural mixed team of professionals with the question: "How do professionals and clients with different cultural backgrounds communicate with each other, both successfully and unsuccessfully?" The observations were used in videotaped courses as models for role-playing. The book became a bestseller in the Netherlands and Belgium. In his capacity of a permanent court expert, Eppink wrote several articles on diagnostic problems due to communication and cultural differences (some articles were reprinted on Academia.edu).
