Whether your goal is personal or professional, speaking is a predominantly physical activity, relying on a body, a voice, a breath, a rhythm (diction) and an emotion (the imagination and the sensations, reflecting the involvement of the speaker in his speech.

How to send a clear message? How to make the difference, to make an impression? How to regain self-confidence and control the management of his emotions?

Knowing how to speak in public is now a necessity for the company and in the company. From a personal point of view, this is a vector for better relationships and optimal messages. On the phone, in a meeting, in front of a client or a banker (...), your public speaking must be effective and efficient with clear, simple and powerful messages, creating a match between the message received and the message sent.

Simple and pragmatic tools will be presented and then put into practice for: generating listening ● making an impression ● fostering trust ● generating need ● motivating teams by explaining a strategy ● getting messages across within groups.

Controlled, the method allows:

• improve self-confidence and stress management with the development of the speaker's fluency (verbal-bodily), his public speaking and his sense of repartee and improvisation

• to work on his ease, leadership, his NLP, his charisma, his creativity and to go towards a certain personal development, through a set of scenarios

* improve the characteristics of the spoken voice (timbre, pitch, intention, flow)

Completed by basic exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentation, time management ...), role plays, improvisations and simulations will be set up.

With the key words: pronunciation, rhetoric, verbal and non-verbal communication, diction / articulation, the sense of repartee, structured speech (...).

The goal is not only to focus on verbal communication but also on nonverbal communication, so as to make the control of his body, his voice (...), a real and lasting strength.

Depending on the interaction between the trainer - coach and the one who consults, there is no single way to operate: each type of session depends on the needs and difficulties of each.

In all cases, it is very often a question, while adapting to your own needs and after having precisely diagnosed your desired objective and the blockages encountered, to combine the theory (the bases of the studied concept, for example NLP / information asymmetry / the "how to say no" / the tools of non-verbal communication or the application of kinaesthesia) and its application (through exercises and direct applications).

For example, are discussed:

- the fundamentals of public speaking: breathing, gaze and body language

- diction and elocution: rhythm and range of your voice - management of your emotions and your emotional overflow (example: stress) - work on the body, to amplify your charisma and ensure consistency between your message and your body ... with the aim of:

* Enhance your presentation and arouse interest by focusing on your strengths, your qualities ... your personality

* Match the content and form of your message

* Improve your charisma, your self-confidence and the benefits of your emotional intelligence

Postgraduate School Training & Ivy league college in the United States, specialized and worked for over 13 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication and public speaking in renowned public and private international institutions, involved in forums and conferences, and focused on two areas: training and coaching, with the key words pedagogy and careful methodology.

PLACES
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of live (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: notes that can be re-read on the chat). In this context, the videoconference sessions for which you asked me to seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place very optimally and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours!

Public Speaking - This course offers training in public speaking, communication, oral expression, podcast recording, and preparing a speech or lecture, a presentation, or a dissertation.
—————————
The basis of the courses is ideally divided into 5 parts.
(If there is only one course, all topics can be discussed but not developed.)
Rates are per person.
If there are several participants, contact me for a group rate.
—————————
ADULTS & SENIORS - Business executives, politicians or simply shy people can learn how to "dare" to speak in public, be heard, understood and regain self-confidence or professional efficiency.

MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL - Ages 10 to 17 - Preparation for the oral exam for the brevet and baccalaureate through improvisation on the one hand and the demands of declamation on the other. For an exam, better dialogue, to express yourself, debate or simply argue for the pleasure of oratorical jousting...

Students, teachers, individuals, professionals... come and discover the pleasure of public speaking, the joy of expressing your ideas clearly, the art of speaking to be better understood and goodbye to glossophobia! (More than 70% of us suffer from "glossophobia", fear of speaking in public)

Come learn public speaking. Perfect your writing of a text to be spoken. Learn the art of gesture to complement that of words and verve and brilliance will be within your reach!

CHILDREN - 7 to 10 years old - This course can help a child gain a little more self-confidence and understand some of the mechanics of public speaking. In this case, more playful techniques such as improvisation, theater, and drawing will be used.
The psychological part of this course is even more important than for adolescents and adults, because children's emotions are more difficult to manage and their attention span is limited.

GOOD TO KNOW:
Eloquence – From the Latin eloquentia, from eloqui, to express oneself
'It is the art of speaking well, that is to say, of acting through words on an audience, of convincing them through argumentation, but also through emotion.' Alain BRUNN: former student of the École normale supérieure, agrégé of modern literature, University of Paris-III-Sorbonne nouvelle

"It is not eloquence that is born of rhetoric, but rhetoric that is born of eloquence" (Cicero -De oratore, XXXIII, 146)

Languages are a powerful mean that can open many doors and help us access important work opportunities. However, learning a language can also be for fun or to expand our own knowledge : this course offers the opportunity to learn Italian even if you are starting from the very beginning or want to improve your level!

You will mainly be learning about grammar and the course will be divided in writing and speaking sessions.

Arabic is a rich language; it is the main language in North Africa and the Middle East. By learning this language, we can understand Arabs when they speak and communicate with them. The doors to Arab culture will be opened before you with the first sentence learned in Arabic.

Learning a language doesn’t have to feel like an obligation. In my lessons, it becomes something you use: in real conversations, at work, at school, and in everyday life. I teach children, teenagers, and adults, always adapting to the age, level, and goals of the student. Through roleplays, simulations, and practical exercises tailored to you, you don’t just learn vocabulary and grammar, you build the confidence and skills to truly function in Dutch.

When we set an objective, we work toward it step by step. At the same time, we create a supportive space together where mistakes are part of growth. You can expect clear progress, personalized guidance, and lessons that help you move from understanding Dutch to confidently owning it.
