Like clouds can dim the sunlight, too many thoughts can blur our mind.
We bring clarity. And you sort yourself out steadily.

Have you ever had to endure a performance at an event where someone laboured with the "Ballade pour Adeline"?

This begs the question, what influence does a successful conversation have on our well-being?
What influence does a successful life have on our well-being? And what do our relationships get out of it?

Do I direct my instrument confidently and felt despite the circumstances? Appropriate in every situation? Am I or does it just happen to me?

It is your life. Get the most out of it. Be prepared. Don't wait for Godot.

No, we're not acting. We're just practicing real life. You think that's not possible? Well, then I ask you: What do you think the pilot is doing in the flight simulator?

I will be happy to support you wherever you get into communicating. So that it suits you. Any questions? Let me know. Free of charge. But never to no purpose.

Coaching

You have a decision to make. You need to get some fresh air.
Personal or at work. Think anew. Get clarity. Maybe you ponder over what it's all for.

Welcome to the Relational World

You are here

"All the world's a stage," Shakespeare wrote in As You Like It. That's right.
Only here it is about ... ?
Yes, what is this about? What role do you play in your very own play?
What drives you? And what for?
Who do you want to be? Who no longer? How do you want to live your
relationships? Your life? What do you choose and what does that look like?

Man didn't make it to the moon because he had a complicated childhood, but a vision.
Together we create and shape yours, so that you not only function, but live your life consciously and self-determined.

It is not the past that continues to define you, but the future. Namely here and now and always.

Training

You want to hone your communication skills. Hold the reins empathetically in challenging conversations. You already bring a lot to the table, you just want to deepen it. Refresh.

Today is a new day

Training strengthens communication skills and thus makes our lives more enjoyable.

Communicate

After a speech or conversation, do you ever ask yourself, "What was that all about? What was going on there? How can I communicate authentically so that the spark jumps?

Here you will get to know tools of conversational leadership, and you can apply and deepen them.

Depending on your needs, we practice using different conversation techniques and communication models.

We can create specific scenarios and practice opportunities that allow us to enter into challenging conversation situations. So we practice concretely with practical examples, repeat and try out.
We practice saying what we mean and hearing what is meant and can then better understand what needs to be done.

I take a goal-oriented and playful approach and give you clear feedback.

Perform

Don't put yourself under pressure. Marlene Dietrich also fell off the stage and broke her leg. She probably took the "break a leg" literally. But it didn't hurt her career.

Seriously and with ease we work on body, gestures, space, intention, direction, voice and mood, text and language and very importantly; we set pauses. So that you can enjoy your performance and calmly achieve the desired effect. As a matter of course.

Speech

Stop for a moment, sit back and remember a speech you heard that completely captivated you. We all know that feeling when someone can touch us like that.
Was it the words? The content of the speech. Yes ... also. The voice? Yes ... also. What else? Maybe the person smiled, delivered the speech with humour? Yes, yes, yes ... but what was it exactly? What exactly was it that fascinated you?

"Singing is a physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual expression of the breath," Jessie Norman said in an interview. I say, yes! And so is talking.

Or try this: The next time you're fascinated by a speech, listen for rhythm and timing.

Voice

Did you know that Margaret Thatcher did not have a convincing voice for the political stage. And first had to bring other registers in herself to sound. So that she could take off.

Yes, the voice. Hm ... It should be carrying, sonorous. Then still warm, melodious. Beguiling. Real. Seductive. And well, audible. It should sound like Brandauer's or Obama's ... Meryl ... what's her name again? Streep, exactly. Or like Tilda Swinton.

Hm ... all fine. But why not like you? That would be my recommendation. Your voice is your vocal business card. Make yourself sound and others melt.

Charisma

Wikipedia says

Charisma is either compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others, or a divinely conferred power or talent.

Yeah, give me more of that!

1. FIGURATIVE
Presence, [consciously perceived] presence.
"strong military presence"

2. JARGON
physical charisma [skraft].
"an actress with/of downright dazzling presence".

Let's focus on the physical charisma here. Or even better, the conscious charisma. Because, while we may show up physically, where are we mentally? Where has the mind gone in the present moment? Gone with the wind? Where is our esprit?

Here we focus primarily on mindfulness, attention and being consciously. The interaction of body and mind in the present moment.

Because esprit is not just a label. It is:

Es-p-rit /ɛsˈpriː/.
- Noun, masculine [the] EDUCATIONAL.

witty-brilliant, bursting with wit and wit [to speak].
"having wit, showing it."

The art of being oneself wholeheartedly.

Workshops

What do you spontaneously think of when you hear the word communication?

Associatively, what comes to my mind first is: Talking. But what about listening. What about the nonverbal world? "Without impression, no expression," my acting teacher once said, in passing.

My main concern in workshops is to create a space together with the participants in which we can give ourselves a try. An environment in which we can practice, rehearse and discover. Value-free. I am not interested in right or wrong, good or bad, but in what works why and what should be different in the future. And that in such a way that it is also authentic for the respective person.
In addition, the means of reflection is also central here. Because professional action is reflected action. Patterns become conscious and the repertoire of actions can be expanded.

With the use of conversation techniques and communication models, we will primarily practice.

We create specific case studies to work with. In addition, we can also use ad-hoc cases. Depending on what is at hand. Ideally, the number of participants will be between 6 - 12 people. Half or full days are possible.
