Development and feedback

The power of individual coaching lies in the rhetorical feedback. We analyze your authentic communication through, among other things, your ability to take in the room and connect with the audience. We work on your concrete content through your strategic rhetoric, preparation, argumentation, language, structure and your stories.

Working with a Rhetoric Coach through individual rhetoric training has a huge impact. It is an effective way to get support in the creative process. Get help to find and create your arguments and build your stories, strengthen the structure of your speech or presentation and then work together on the performance. We also work with and reinforce your natural body language, hand gestures, pauses, pace and movement on stage.

The work of finding your personal stories is also very important. What for you is no more than a day at work, becomes at the right time and packaged in the right way, an incredibly convincing and clarifying argument. Often these stories will be the ones that open or close your speech or presentation.

"By being true to yourself on stage, you learn to create a personal and memorable connection with the audience, which in turn reinforces the impact of the message communicated."

Why is it filmed?

In my 15 years as a rhetoric consultant, I have rarely met anyone who at first glance appreciated being put in front of a camera and practicing their rhetoric. But after doing it once, the benefits always outweigh the reluctance.

Through various exercises, we analyze all levels of your non-verbal communication, such as voice pitch, volume, tempo, body language, hand gestures and stage movement.
