“You are competent and that should be heard, seen and felt!“

Every day anew, scientists are in dialog with specialist audiences, students, employees and colleagues. You present yourself and your competencies at posters, network events,  in lectures and conferences, communicate in meetings, hold challenging conversations and discussions. With your performance - your voice, body language and charisma - you convey not only content but also personality. Nowadays, this is sometimes also needed virtually.

It's not just important WHAT you say - it's crucial HOW you say it!  

People who are aware of their virtual impact / camera angle, making contact via camera, sitting or standing position etc. etc. stand out from the crowd and have a clear competitive advantage. Because the way you say something - depending on the tone, tempo, emphasis, volume or body language and gestures - often tells more than the words you use.

These “non-verbal signals” are picked up by people unfiltered and subconsciously and are therefore crucial!

Key questions that I address in my training:
-       How do you find your own optimal speaking voice?
-       How does good breathing technique work for speaking?
-       How do you play with your voice?
-       How do you control your speaking speed?
-       How do you speak in an exciting, interesting and credible way?
-       How can you effectively deal with stage fright?
-       How do you articulate your content clearly and distinctly?
-       How do you present convincingly and charismatically?
-       How are body language and voice connected - and how do you use both in a targeted and professional manner, without appearing artificial?
-       How can you create clarity of your own role and mission for challenging professional situations.
-       What does "communicating profesionally" mean? / offering and maintaining contact - also VIRTUALLY !?!
