New concept

Get your message across confidently and confidently!

Making your rhetoric fit for the influencer age

This training is held in German.
"If nobody knows you, you're not weird enough", Leif Ahrens. Most people want to give memorable presentations. However, those who want to stand out from the crowd reach their goal faster and more confidently with memorable presentations. "Memorable" means nothing more than that the presentation is worth thinking about. On the other hand, "strange" means that the content is worth the audience remembering it. This training will prepare you and your rhetoric skills for the challenge of taking a stand. You will get your message across in a cool, confident and convincing way!
