    Public Speaking &

      Public Speaking / Storytelling

    It’s alright to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.

    Rob Gilbert

    Some people think they are just not cut for public speaking: not true. With practice and exercise, we can make you a respectable speaker, and you will be surprised by your capabilities!

    There is so much involved when you are delivering a speech:

    Voice: breath, voice projection, voice inflection, pitch, pace, tone, enunciation, pronunciation, articulation …

    Body: eye-contact, posture, body language, stride, owning the space…

    Mind:  focus, speech creation (memory recap/ improv/making sense), awareness of audience and environment, emotional struggles – facing the redoubtable stage fright, insecurities, internal conflicts…

    How to handle all these things at once? What are your strengths and your weaknesses? And your blocks?

    Being more confident with your public speaking and storytelling will increase your self-esteem, and you will most likely get better results at work and in your human interaction.

    Communication is the solvent of all problems and is the foundation for personal development.

    What if I told you that employees with better self-confidence and public speaking skills, are more likely going to outperform their KPIs and the company can count on much higher customer retention and satisfaction rate?

  • Performing

    Acting / Singing / Dancing

    Acting /Performing Arts

    Monologues, dialogues, comedy, drama, commedia dell’arte, musical theatre, improv, conference speeches, we will work on what you need. 

    I strongly believe in the use of the Acting discipline to overcome your limits.

    Coming from the European approach to Acting, expect from me highly focused lessons, based on a lot of practice and challenges. 

    I don’t force my student with one specific acting method approach, but I instead stimulate them and work with them to find the one(s) that works best for them, and which they can then apply to pretty much anything in life, not just for a performance (e.i. memorizing a public speech, studying for an exam, handling emotions, improve sales skills.)
