Rhetoric and
conversational skills.
Improving your communication skills is possible.
Often times, the positive outcome of a project or an interpersonal relationship depends on how approproately you are getting your thoughts across. How clearly and convincingly our ideas are perceived is essentially determined by our communication skills. At the same time, excellent communication skills are not something you either have or don't have—but it is a soft skill that you can acquire, train and continually improve on. In order to further develop your conversational skills, it will be crucial to first gain a more sensitive perception of your own demeanor and behaviorisms in communicational situations. I will help you to develop a closer and more nuanced look on speech in general and your very individual communicational behavior and help you to reflect on it properly and beneficially. A growth of rhetorical competence therefore comes on quiet feet, but is all the more sustainable. As we will work on your own conversational behavior and presentation skills, you will notice that you are becoming more and more receptive in observing other people, too. My goal is to provide you with specific methods and strategies as well as the know-how on how you can perpetually continue developing these skills on your own in the future.
