Our sPEAKing workshop or 1-2-1 coaching are made for you if you need to motivate, inspire and influence: in a large group, face- to-face or in a virtual set up.
Working with us, you enhance your ability to connect with people,inspire them, move them to action and raise their engagement. You become aware of how you can influence your “state” and energy and develop a prep routine to condition yourself before high-stake presentations or conversations. It is about engaging others both intellectually and emotionally, leveraging passion and purpose and overcoming self-limiting insecurities.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution. We focus on what you need to change and how to leverage your unique strengths and lift blockers to shape your own style. A large amount of the time is spent on practice and feedback.
The one-day group workshop features four modules. It can include practice video recording, in-room coaching and private coaching sessions. Individual coaching uses the same approach with an emphasis on some of the modules according to your learning objectives.
1-2-1 Coaching (face-to-face or online)
You can unleash your presence. Bring out your unique abilities for high impact as a speaker!
Design and deliver your message to capture and hold listeners’ attention, exert influence and get to the results you aim for.
Your coach will help you gain control on your “inner theatre”, physical presence and mindset in high-stakes situations – in a formal presentation context or a conversation. It is not about pretending to be another person but become more authentic tapping into your concentration, energy, enthusiasm and deeper purpose to really enjoy public speaking and take any audience on board.

Together, we create more energizing and inspiring work environments, a key success factor for peak performance. Join the sPEAKing community!
One-day classroom workshop in a small group (max 6 participants/coach when classroom-based) with in-class and private coaching and feedback. Includes 1-2-1 pre-workshop assessment and feedback. Followed by a 1-2-1 coaching session at an additional cost.
Combining theory and practice, we focus on 1. content, independently of the topic: how to craft a message using rhetoric and structure to be more compelling; 2. delivery, with methods inspired from the performing arts: focus on voice skills and dynamic vocal delivery, posture, grounding and find one’s own effective and authentic body language and state of mind. The four modules of the programme are: Preparation, Content, Conditioning and Delivery.
On request, the second coach for the Programme can be a world top professional ballet dancer, sharing experience, best practices and tips on how to overcome stage fright, use breath and posture for optimal impact.
