Strategic Rhetoric

Stepping up and communicating and presenting without first looking at your rhetorical situation, your rhetorical purpose and your communicative goals. Is like traveling without knowing where you are or where you are going. It might be great. But you will probably not get where you are going.

  • Understanding the rhetorical situation

  • Situational purposes

  • Communicative objectives

  • Formulation of ideas

  • Target group analysis and conceptual worlds

Authentic Communication

Authenticity has become a concept that is thrown around more than it is manifested. Truly finding one's voice, both verbally and non-verbally takes time. But when we do, it resonates in both our personal and professional relationships.

  • Authenticity

  • Non-verbal communication

  • Roast

  • Breathing

  • Speaking roles

Non-verbal communication

7-38-55 or the verbal vocal visual rule tells us how much weight we actually give to words when we listen. But it is one thing to understand it, and another to live it. Voice, tempo, pauses, body language, hand gestures and stage movement need to come from an authentic place within you.

  • Voice, tempo and silence

  • Hand gestures and body language

  • Stage movement and distance

  • Eye contact
