Rhetoric for managers

Speak confidently - convince with confidence

This training is held in German.
Competence alone is not enough, you also have to express it! Whether in meetings, discussions or other leadership situations, competent managers are expected to convey their messages effectively, precisely and comprehensibly so that they remain memorable. If you can come up with a comprehensible argumentation logic, effective rhetorical stylistic devices and a convincing build-up of tension in addition to your personal charisma, you can convince others and win them over.
