Rhetoric - voice - body language

Perform skillfully, confidently and convincingly

This training is held in German.
Rhetorical skills are important because the more convincing we appear, the greater the chances of being perceived as confident, getting ideas through and being given responsible tasks. Communicative and rhetorical skills are particularly important in the field of assistance. Therefore, develop and train your ability to speak freely and rhetorically effectively in conversations, discussions or presentations. Sharpen your awareness of your body language and speaking style. Refine your vocal expression and strengthen your physical presence. In this training , you will train your rhetorical skills with the help of many practical exercises and receive individual feedback, including video analysis if you wish.
