Convincing with voice and body language

How to increase your personal impact

In this practice-oriented training course, you will learn how to consciously control and use your non-verbal rhetorical resources in a targeted manner. This will enable you to be even more convincing and successful in contact with your colleagues, superiors and customers .

In-person events

The training specifically uses theater pedagogical exercises to translate theoretical knowledge into practical experience.

Every public communication situation, be it a conversation or a presentation, is comparable to a "stage performance": you choose the role you want to play and will get support for the role through the appropriate clothing, i.e. a "costume".

The training is based on the willingness of the participants to get personally involved. Play scenes with concrete topics from professional practice, voice and speech training, communication exercises, movement elements, interactive games, self-reflection, feedback from the trainer, relaxation exercises, role-playing using the Galli Method®.

Please bring comfortable clothing to this training .
